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.

Fun course!
Fun course to play. Great view along ocean especially on hole 2 and 3. The fairways are wide as long as you don’t slice or hook too much.
I highly recommend playing Kona CC if you have the opportunity!.

Beautiful, but Hot
Wonderful course, greens are very tricky, be prepared for lots of three putts. Course in best shape in years.
Take plenty of water and wear lots of sun screen. Right on ocean and you will need both.

Great course just very rainy the day we went
Nice course and runs beautifully along the ocean so very scenic! We got a little bunched up with players ahead and behind us but considering the weather conditions that day were less than optimal it was expected. We had to end early as the rain became to heavy play well. Certainly not KCC’s fault otherwise a wonderful course to play when you are in Kona.
