Volcano Golf & Country Club

A hidden jewel mostly played byocals and not crowded.. Good greens, nice fairways. Cooler at Volcano and rainier of course.

It feels like a local course rather than a destination or tourist course in Kona. But for enjoying golf I found it well worth the money. No club house, no restaurants, some bunkers overgrown. But the greens and fairways are good. The layout is kind of back and forth without a lot of interest but I found it a great place to work on my game in a relaxed atmosphere mid week.

Beautiful day

No rain

Busy day, but didn’t have to wait that long at each hole.

We love this course on Hawaii.

Course is friendly for a golfers of any skill level. Fast greens.

We had an absolute blast and you can’t beat the cooler temperatures up at 4K! Incredible value for the experience.

Great course by Volcano National Park. Relaxed atmosphere and well kept greens

Friendly staff. Fairly wide open fairways. Fast greens and in excellent shape. Cooler temps than in the city. Nice scenery.

This is not a west side of Big Island resort course. The layout of this course is both challenging and fun. Fairway are generous which is good since it was very windy the day we played. The greens had some bare spots here and there but putts rolled very well. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rental clubs were a nice surprise. The Titleist T300 irons worked great for me. The Scotty Cameron putter was a nice surprise. All this for $100 including cart and rentals. I hope to get back here some day.

If you’re looking for manicured fairways and over-the-top amenities, stay at one of the resorts. If you want a unique experience that is quintessentially Big Island, play the course at Volcano. Yes, this course is a little shaggy and lacks the flash of the costal courses, but the layout is very interesting with several doglegs and mature trees lining the fairways, and the greens were in fantastic condition. Staff and locals on the course were extremely friendly and courteous. It will most likely rain/mist off and on throughout your round, but it’s just a part of the experience and really didn’t bother me one bit. When the clouds clear views of Mauna Loa especially will blow your mind. I highly recommend playing this course if you’re on the Big Island!

Although it’s very close to Kilauea, it actually sits right outside the National park and does not feel like or look like you’re there. Played on a Thursday and finished in 2 hours 20 mins. Cart was old, dirty, and very basic and the clubhouse is a trailer. Staff was nice though and the greens were in good condition.

Fun course…….and you’re on an active volcano! Course is in okay condition….NO amenities. Hard to beat the scenery and wildlife. Staff very friendly. Would definitely play again….great value!

Overall course was ok. Started off kind of suspect because I was the only one they asked for ID to hold when renting the cart, and yes I’m Black. Other than that, course was ok.

Course scenery is picturesque. Yes course maintenance is needed because of the wild pigs that dig up areas, but overall it is satisfactory. A recent fire burned the clubhouse so not sure what is planned for a rebuild. Enjoyed the round and the company I was with including the wildlife (nene, ducks, etc.).

Tee boxes had lots of divots. Fairways had wet areas. Greens were in poor condition. Nice area surrounded by the volcanoes, but hard to enjoy the round with so many course maintenance issues. Also if you have never played this course, there is a lack of signs telling you where the next hole is, so easy to get off track.

Greens in great shape. Fairways very good and pretty wide. Light rough in some areas. Some weeds in bunkers. Some thick, tall rough around some greens. Overall, a nice course to play for the price. If riding, may hit a lot of clumpy grass from tee box to fairway. So expect to get a bumpy ride in certain areas.
One unusual thing, they will not let visitors walk the course, only members. Also, if you want a guest ( including a baby) to ride along, the cost is $18 per individual. So a spouse and child would cost $36

Very close from volcano national park.
Feel exhilarating

I golfed as a single, and was able to get around the course in good time! Not too many on the course and only had two groups to go through as a single!
Course was in OK shape, but this was just after the Hurricane went overt the island! Some trees uprooted and many fallen branches. No restaurant and only Microwaved hot dogs to eat, so I went elsewhere for lunch. Great deal though, $22 for 18 holes and a cart! Greens were patchy, but puttable.
