Nestled between the Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea volcanoes, Waikola Village Golf Club has a beautiful and unique location that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The verdant, rolling terrain is dotted with stands of young trees and lakes that were incorporated into the golf course’s design. Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course’s designer, tried to maintain the natural assets of the landscape while adding a few challenges such as fairways bunkers and doglegs. The golf course also features traditional raised greens that are subject to forceful prevailing winds. Although the course is challenging enough for the serious golfer, the relaxed pace and beautiful scenery appeal to players of all skill levels. Locals often consider Waikola Village Golf Club one of Hawaii’s best-kept secrets.

Nice course, bad, unplayable “sand” traps

We enjoyed the course but did not like the “coral”, “pebble”, “rock” or concrete like “no sand” sand traps. There were many traps surrounding the greens etc. but without sand in them, how are you supposed to play them? I guess the answer is to stay out of them, but that doesn’t always work. Who wants to scratch their club up trying ho hit out of them? Or if you putt out, you may or may not hit over the lip. Just didn’t make any sense. I heard they were coral but I expected a soft white powder, not concrete like rocks.

I would never play there again or recommend any else do so unless they replace with sand “ never going to happen” or loan every player a sand wedge to destroy. It was a shame.

Beautiful Condition and Views

Played for the first time. Nice layout and great views all around. Pace of play was a little slow, but that’s kind of expected on a Sunday. Sand traps were not sand but small compacted pebbles which I’m not used to. Some of them you could actually putt out of. Highly recommend this course.

They need to get a Marshall and be better organized.

I was playing as a single. The course was so backed up my entire round took over 5 hours. I saw the cart guy that sells drinks and food three times and didn’t see a Marshall once. Disappointing and it sucks it took so long to play 18 as a single…

Fun course

This is a great alternative to the high-priced (for non Hawaiian golfers) resort courses nearby. Nice layout gentle slopes, many doglegs. Greens in good shape but many had speeds hard to predict without prior experience. Bunkers are ground coral, a learned experience (done to protect against sometimes high wind velocity). Lots of cold water on course for refilling your water bottle.

The final hole, a par 5 over water, requires planning and sound judgment!

Men’s Club

This course allows 5somes with their mens club players. They all think they’re Tiger Woods!!! One guy had on his dingy stretched out neck t-shirt!!! What happened to golf etiquette? They drove onto the t-boxes and right next to the greens. Including the t-shirt guy parking his cart constantly right in front of the green, which contributed to the slow play because we’d have to wait for him to move to hit our ball. VERY rude. But what would you expect from locals?
