Rating 72.0

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.

Great place for Hawaiian gold

Course was in terrific shape, views are incredible. Took a while to get used to greens which were very slow. After the round, had a drink and fries in the bar/restaurant. Great people too.

Good track

Nice track and a few holes along the water make it worth the drive and cost. Staff not super friendly and beverage cart wasn’t fully stocked.

Great course for all levels. The food and drinks are also a great bargain. Our foursome can't wait to return. Friendly staff, great cart girl, but she's getting married and leaving soon. We wish her all the best.
