Kona Country Club

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.

Solid four stars
Very friendly staff starting with counter to starter.
Started on time and finished around 4 hrs. Course condition good except some thin spots in the fairway. Haven’t played an ocean/mountain course in a long time, from Houston. Most difficult part of the course was putting, couldn’t g ft figure out up hill or down hill putts…challenging!!
Got a Hot Deal tee time at a great rate for around $100.
It was mid 80s , wear sun scream!!!! ENJIY THE RIUND!!
Worth it
Planned on of my best rounds on the Big Island here. The deals on GolfNow are great and if you have points banked it can really make this an affordable round.
The course has a ton of ocean views. The fairways were in excellent shape. The greens were okay and the sand was a beautiful white and fluffy grain that you could easily work through. Carts were electric engined and had range finders and navigation console. Cart people were friendly and well stocked despite it being mid-day.
slow play
The round took 4 1/2 hrs to play. There was a course ambassador driving around, but he only smiled & waved. The meal after onsite ar The View was fine. Good service.
Definitely a great choice
Driving range is really nice, course plats around the resort we stayed in. Beautiful layout, many holes play out to the ocean. It’s a must play
Friendly y staff
We’re in Kona on a Hollander America cruise, our tee time 1pm so it was a bit tight, at check in the guy set us up teeing off earlier so we could play stress free, great value, some fairways challenging, we would play there again!
First time in Hawai’i
First time visiting Hawaii and golf was on top of the list. This course was everything I expected and more.
Beautiful!
Loved the scenic atmosphere on this course. 4 or 5 holes could be their signature hole. Course was in great condition and was an enjoyable round for my wife and I. Highly recommend this course if you plan on visiting the Big Island!
Great location!
Check in was great, tee sheet was a bit of a mess due to a traffic accident and a lot of players showing up late for their tee times. Could have used a starter.
I was able to play solo and take in the scenery. A couple in front of me seemed to be in a rush. folks if you’re late for your time, just get in line and relax. Kinda the whole point of the day, isn’t it. Still finished in 4 hours.
Great day. Thanks to the staff.
Really enjoyed the layout, views. Very accommodating fairways and fast greens when I played.
Only minor complaint was no baskets for the ball dispenser at the practice range…
Course is in great shape
We had a great time. Greens were true. Staff was friendly. Weather was great. 19th hole was a good stop too.
Very enjoyable course
The course was a nice layout with some memorable ocean views. The course had good sand bunkers (unlike several other courses on the Big Island.) The greens were in great shape, but difficult to get the speed correct. Nice ‘19th hole’ at The View.
Beautiful course
This hidden gem along the Kailua Kona coast has beautiful ocean side holes, ocean views and a fun layout. Conditions were excellent and the staff is very friendly and accommodating . There is a driving range putting green and short practice hole. There is a wonderful bar //restaurant on premises which has nighttime entertainment on weekends.
