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.

Scenic Course
Course was very nice. Only complaint is golf club rental. Clubs were in poor condition, some mixed clubs in bag. Putters grips were terrible.
Still enjoyed the course overall.

Good Day
Fairways are good and greens are in great shape. Pace was about 4-1/2 hours as there was a slow foursome ahead of us. Definitely was a busy Sunday on the course.

Nice but Tough Greens
We’ve played several of the resort courses so far and found Kona CC to be in great shape comparatively. Greens are perfect. The undulations made for a tough day putting but if you played here a few times, you’d get used to them. Fairways were nice as well, and you can’t beat the views.

Very playable and fun
Beautiful course, how could it not be in Hawaii? A lot of cut grass that would have been nice to have been picked up, but that's a minor thing. Very playable and the fact that the wind was down made it fun. Cart refreshment and after round prices were decent too.
