Below average course

I’ve been golfing on the big island for 6 years and this was my first round at Waikoloa Village.

I’ll start with the good:

It’s a great layout, very forgiving and 18 is a fun finishing hole. Staff were super friendly.

The bad:

Greens were a mess with areas of stressed grass mixed with areas of too long healthy grass along with some dead spots all which made putting really a challenge as the balls’ pace would change drastically through a putt.

The ugly :

Pace of play , got to hole 11 and there were 3 groups on the tee. One teeing off and 2 waiting. Before my round I was on the range and started asked me to tee off early as there was an 8-some behind me they wanted to get out quickly. I get it, no problem but an 8-ball ???? Crazy.
Bunkers are some kind of fine gravel, no sand at all !! So those who do play out of the bunker then spray gravel all over the greens further affecting the putting surface.

Some great views and the wind kicking up now and then added some fun but overall doubtful I’ll play it again or recommend to friends.

Wikaloa Village

Course was nice but the wind made it almost unplayable. Surprised that for a course in Hawaii they did not provide range balls in the $120 price.

Nice course layout with good view

It is an enjoyable golf course. It was such a windy day when I played that gusty wind sometimes blew ball off from the tee. It is kind of a gold course that player can enjoy golf according to one's handicap. Green condition is rather sandy, sometimes ball moves zigzag. It's just 15 minutes' drive from Waikoloa beach resort. Compared to the price you pay for surrounding golf courses, it is a reasonable deal for its quality.

Great RT Jones course

I am a frequent visitor to the Big Island and have always enjoyed this well laid out track. The course is in decent shape and the greens consistent. The staff is friendly and helpful. Johnny’s is a great little stop for an after round beverage.

First time golfing in Hawaii

I have visited the islands many times, but had not golfed until this trip to the big island.
Waikoloa GC was an interesting track to play. The staff were great to deal with and the rental clubs were top notch. Electric cart came with a cooler full of ice which was a nice addition.
Not a really difficult course to play but the windy conditions exaggerated any fade or draw. Apparently the nickname for that area is "Waikobloa' since it is usually very windy.
Pace of play was very good, and I would play this course again.
Driving range, chipping and putting green were in very good shape.
Thank you to the staff for making it a memorable day.

Great round for the price

Overall was a great round of golf. We brought the wives with us so had 4 carts and they were accommodating. Beverage guy was great and always made sure we had enough liquids. Course layout is great, greens looked like they had been aerated recently but still played well.
