Course Highlights
Sweeping Pacific Ocean panoramas, lava rock framing, and a thoughtfully designed layout consistently earn high praise from recent golfers. Welcoming staff with genuine aloha spirit and smooth pace of play make this Big Island course an outstanding value.

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 golf course and staff, terrible service in the restaurant.

Great time on the course, good conditions and friendly staff. After golf, not so good. Sign says wait to be seated and no one showed up to seat us. Ended up seating ourselves, then had the wait staff intentionally ignore us for ten minutes and blamed us for the delay because we seated ourselves and confused them.

Great Experience

My wife and I love this course. For 90 players this ix a very enjoyable course, not too difficult yet difficult enough to challenge us. Wide fairways, beautifully groomed fairways and greens. We look forward to playing here again. Excellent food and service in the restaurant..
