Pace of play was fantastic

I teed off at 10am. Drove over from Kona and the drive alone is worth the time! Greens were a little beat up from winter. I was told they grow lush in the summer. Played 18 holes in under 3 hours.

Challenging course and fabulous views. Staff was super.

Very cool views

The views are amazing. The course is very well laid out and fun to play. The greens are slow but that’s okay if you know it ahead of time.

A favorite place

Volcano golf club, music, favorite of mine and my wife. We live in Texas and love to come to Volcano golf club A couple of times a year. we live in a small rural town and love the small world feel of volcano. When Troon took over the course they made some major improvements, including new carts that have added greatly to The experience. My understanding is Troon is no longer involved, but the course seems to be maintaining its good condition. This is a hidden gem on The Big Island!

Nice course for the price

The course is laid out nicely. The greens are very puttable some seasons better than others depending on rain and draught. Watch the weather. Don't get rain insurance offered on golfnow as it doesn't work. It poured rain and they said it didn't. Ha ha. Oh well. But for a municipal type course it's fun.

Locals course in mediocre condition

If you're in the area and want to play it's the only game in town. The putting green was pretty much unputtable and the real greens weren't much better. Fairways were hard to discern from the rough. Just wasn't in very good shape. Do not drive out of your way to play this course. Regular price is $80 I believe and that's ridiculous.

Decent locals course

Nice enough layout. Conditions were OK, tight to bare lies with God knows what for fairway grass.

Greens were slow and bumpy. Probably as bad as I have played. But you know what? We were playing golf in Hawaii so how bad can it be? Got a good price on Golfnow, would have been unhappy with the $82 rack rate.

It's ok if your in the Hilo area but wouldn't travel far to play it.

What a little treasure

Make sure you adjust your yardage. It feels like playing in Utah or Colorado. The staff was great and what a bargain compared to all the beach courses.

Worth the trek

Worth the 2 hour drive from Kona especially if you want to also go to the volcano, black sand beach, southern most point in the USA, etc. Staff was very friendly. Course conditions were better than I expected but don’t compare to the fancy resorts or country clubs. Currently rebuilding a few tee boxes which will enhance the layout. Wide fairways. Fun layout with drivable par fours. Bring a light rain jacket. 10 degrees cooler than Kona.

Great Course

We have played this course several times and have enjoyed every round. It has the best grass on the fairways and greens on this side of the Island. Great price for the money and sometimes you can actually see the smoke from the volcano.
