Kona Country Club

Didn’t play very well. Didn’t care!!! When I can play golf with with my son and grandson and be in awe of the course it’s a great day!

Except for a small inconvenience with the pace of play I thoroughly enjoyed myself. We had to wait from the beginning on the group in front us. Never saw any ranger until the sixteenth hole. But by then we were 25 minutes behind per the cart gps.

The Course was more challenging that I anticipated. I found the greens in good condition but difficult to read for a first outing. They have more movement than resort greens, and necessitate some review from different angles. I'll look forward to playing again.

Slow play. Golfers getting out of hand on the course. For what the course charges, they should make sure everyone has a good time, and they should protect their course from drunks damaging it. They should also get a new cart girl.

overall very nice----starter on Friday would have been nice to have combined the two-somes to help with the pace of play----having foursomes, then twosomes, and a foresome does slow down play. Having played this course for the third consecutive year, it would be nice of the course would give a discount rate for those who play here regularly.

My mom and I found a hot deal at KCC and wanted to try it after playing mostly at Mauna Mani South & North courses. We had a great time and found the course challenging but not too hard. A lot of up hill and most greens were elevated. Make sure to bring your short game & remember putts roll towards the ocean!

This is a great course. Nice people and beautiful views while golfing!!!!!

Greens were slower than most but rolled true. Generous fairways with approachable greens. Nice soft sand.

Kona Country Club’s Golf Course is an absolute gem and a must-play on the Big Island. From the moment you arrive, the views are breathtaking—lush fairways framed by lava rock, palm trees, and sweeping panoramas of the Pacific Ocean. It’s one of those rare courses where you find yourself pausing just to take in the scenery.

The course layout is fun, fair, and engaging for all skill levels. It challenges you to think without being punishing, with well-placed bunkers, rolling fairways, and greens that are true and well-maintained. Every hole feels thoughtfully designed, and the ocean breezes add an extra layer of excitement to each shot.

The staff is outstanding—welcoming, friendly, and genuinely aloha in spirit. Check-in was smooth, pace of play was relaxed, and the overall atmosphere made the experience feel special rather than rushed.

Whether you’re a serious golfer or just looking to enjoy a memorable round in paradise, the Golf Course at Kona Country Club delivers on every level. Incredible views, great conditions, and a laid-back island vibe make this a round you won’t forget. Highly recommended! 🌴⛳

The par 3s and other holes near the water were amazing, but there too many holes where you could hit a 230 yd drive down the middle, but be left with an awkward slopey lie either sideways, uphill or downhill. There were also several holes especially #10 that you could not see the green or flag, even after a solid drive down the middle. The yardages on the cart gps were 10-15yds out compared a laser rangefinder.

Got a great deal on GN. Excellent course with several holes right on the ocean. Great conditions. Best course we played on the Big Island.

Played here on our Christmas family vacation. My son and I had a great round of golf. The coarse it self was in fantastic shape, we brought our own clubs and used one of there carts which all of them looked brand spanking new. We got are round in a little over 3hours and 45 min which seemed really fast, we never had to wait for any groups in front of us. After the round we cad lunch in the adjoining Restuarant , the food and service was fantastic. All in all we’d definitely play more rounds of golf there if we had the time.

Hint: Don’t let your eyes deceive you — everything breaks towards the ocean. Fair layout otherwise. Goats are a fun addition.
