Rating 72.0

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 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.

Almost Perfect

The day was great and the golfing excellent. Long wait at the turn for food ordered on hole #8 and long back up on #18 tee. Other than that, zero complaints. Staff very nice and accommodating.

Excellent golf option

This golf course was an excellent value if you’re staying in the Kailua Kona area. The staff are very friendly. The course is in good shape, and the greens are as good as anything you’ll putt on. The ocean front holes are incredible, and the views are unending

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!!
