About
The Ocean Course is one of two championship courses at Kona Country Club. As its name implies, this course has an oceanfront location with views of the surrounding mountains that are home to its sister course, the Mountain Course. The Ocean Course provides an easier, but no less enjoyable round than its sibling. The layout features wide-open fairways and numerous strategically placed sand bunkers. The turquoise waters and black lava outcroppings provide natural hazards. The signature holes are the third and 12th, but one of the most memorable is the 13th hole where during November through March, you can catch a glimpse of a humpback whale. While both Kona C.C. golf courses provide a variety of challenges, the Ocean Course is a gentle, more player-friendly option that still features the same stunning views as the Mountain Course.

Golfer Reviews
A fun, fair and challenging golf course
A fair but challenging layout with many scenic holes. Course is overall well conditioned. Pace of play can vary but was not an issue the day I played. I always try to play at least one round here when visiting Kona. Excellent value with GolfPass rate.
Nice Course
Had a great time on a wet day. Course was soggy but drained well and held up despite the rain. Putting was a bit of a challenge with the pin placements but overall great day.
A fantastic golf course offering both spectacular views and rich strategic depth.
Playing golf while enjoying the beautiful ocean views is truly wonderful. The course is also challenging and requires strategic play. The greens could use a little more maintenance, but overall, it is a very enjoyable course. Whenever we visit Hawaii, we always enjoy playing here. We look forward to coming back again!
Vacation Golf
This course is so beautiful for the location. It has a number of holes right on the water. There is some challenge on the course and the pace is good for the majority of the holes
There are rough spots, but not so much to detract.
The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is a good stop for food and the view.
Great views and fun layout
Course is fun had great views, fun layout, some large portions had rot, especially on some of the greens. Also, the greens were quite shaggy but other than that great time found a great hot deal for 65 bucks. Can’t argue with that.
Will return!
I visit Kona annually and make golfing this course a priority each time.
Booking is easy,
Staff is great,
Club rental is excellent,
Views are spectacular.
The only knock are the greens need some extra love, the heat must make them challenging to maintain, but it shouldn’t deter anyone from enjoying playing this course
Friendly and quick place to play
Nice layout. Super friendly staff. Holes played longer than listed yardage. Greens were VERY slow. Pace of play was superb. Played 18 holes in under 3 hours 15 minutes.
Good layout, burned conditions
Staff were very friendly. This is a good layout with challenging holes. Many fairways were burned by the dry conditions but were still playable. Greens were slow, very patchy dry and burned. Majority of the greens were in bad conditions.
The course is well worth the money spent. The staff is also very friendly. This golf course has beautiful views and the fairways are in great shape. The only thing I feel not so perfect is the green needs to be pressed alittle firmer.
Recently punched and sanded greens
Beautiful course. Layout is quite nice. Goats all around the course. Great views around the ocean. Recently punched and sanded greens not in the best of shape.
Beautiful but sanded greens were unplayable.
We knew they had punched the greens recently, but I’ve never seen that much sand on the greens. Totally unputtable.
Location is great if you are staying in Kailua-Kona
Aloha! This was my go to course as I have been playing it yearly on my yearly visit to the Big Island. The course is fading slowly as the greens are in poor condition with a lot of bare patches. Green side bunkers have unusual thick 6imch rough along the borders. Play it only with a Hit Deal at $64. As full price of $160 is NOT worth it. Tee times throughout the Big Island have really gone up so you need to choose wisely. They spiked the greens on the Sept 14th, after which it will not be playable for some time. Aloha
Good courde
Good value if you can get right price. Greens need some work.
Course fine, but be prepared for stupefying heat/humidity
Title says it all. Don’t venture out without ice, means of mitigating heat!
