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 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…

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.

Always Enjoyable

I played Kona Country Club six times during a two week stay in a nearby timeshare. Enjoyed it every time. The course has enough variety to make it interesting. The greens take some getting used to - the direction of the grain has a big influence on the speed and. Path of the ball, so every putt is an interesting puzzle to figure out.

Not bad for the price. Some great ocean views.

We had a rain delay and the Pro Shop staff was very friendly albeit a bit disorganized on feeding out the groups when the rain stopped.

The cart Wranglers were a mixed bag mostly being disorganized and sometimes downright rude with no concept of customer service and what it means to be a guest.

A great location but far from being a country club experience as the name would indicate.

The restaurant bar had great views but the food was so so but good service.

The table was so sticky that it literally could not be clean with layers and layers of gunk.

Good happy hour prices.

Golf shop had a lot of merchandise but no rain gear or gloves which is a little ironic being in Hawaii when cloudbursts happen all the time out of the blue.

The Pinnacle logo ball was the cheapest logo ball I bought anywhere so kudos for not price gouging.

Course was great. Don’t be above the hole unless you are a great putter. Beautiful holes along the ocean and fantastic views throughout the course.
