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.

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.

Lovely course

Greens and fairways were beautiful and challenging. Too crowded so play was very slow. Guy who gave us clubs was nasty. In pro shop the people were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful views and challenging course

Guy who gave us clubs was nasty.

There were so many people we waited a long time to play every hole.

The course was gorgeous and grounds well cared for.

Very challenging greens! Lots of fun!!

Fun course, beautiful views.

After aeration fairways played well. Greens were rough and had not returned yet. Still a lot of fun and worth the effort.
