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.

Great conditions and fast play

Golfnow hot deal was great. Got to course early and the friendly staff said to head out at my convenience. Finish in 3 hours while consistently playing 2 balls. Execellent ocean and volcano views from several holes. I would definitely play again.

Nice course in Kona!

The staff and the pace of play were excellent! Overall however, I am not sure a person gets enough value to pay the price for a round.

Slow pace of play. No Marshall supervising pace of play. Some areas of course in poor shape, dry. Slow greens.

Spectacular Ocean Views

Thoroughly enjoyed our round until we ran into the group ahead on #3. From there, the pace was incredibly slow and we had to wait on every hole after that. The course layout and conditions were excellent. Beautifully manicured and the greens were slow but we enjoyed it nevertheless. The ocean holes were incredible, giving us an appreciation for the real estate that this course is on. The lava and blow hole made the tee shot especially special. Hitting the ball over the waves as it crashes against lava cliffs. My only complaint is that there was no marshal that would hurry up slow groups.

Poor practice facilities, great course

I am staying if the course so wanted to play. Got a great deal on golf pass, saving me more than 50% I am a 4 handicap, and was looking forward to practicing. I was disappointed with the the practice green (awful) and chipping green (fair) but I liked the pitching area options, even with the dog droppings. The sand bunker had not been raked in weeks, if at all. Otherwise, I loved the course layout and the greens were just ok. Pace of play was good and the GPS in the cart helped a ton. I would play every time I can get a discount, but NOT for $180
