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, beautiful views.

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

Have played Kona CC quite a few times and it has always been an enjoyable round. The staff is helpful. The course views are better than the majority of other courses on the island. They keep the shape of the course in great condition, considering the amount of play they get. I recommend Kona CC to anyone wanting a challenging round on a beautiful course.

Fun

Course conditions are a little rough but playable. Getting the hot deal was great so course conditions weren't as much of an issue. The holes by the ocean are awesome.

Some great views

There are a couple of par 3's along the ocean which are beautiful holes. The tee boxes are chewed up pretty good. Greens were in decent shape.
