Volcano Golf & Country Club

It was my first time to play on this course, and I enjoyed the experience! The pace of play was fast, and the friendly locals made me feel right at home. The fairways and greens were well maintained, contributing to a fun day on the course.

I did notice a couple of greens that may have had what previously looked like bunkers, but they are now nicely covered in grass, which actually worked to my advantage! The high elevation added a coolness to the morning, allowing wearing a long-sleeved shirt and vest quite comfortable.

This is a fantastic course. It’s not a PGA course. Enjoy the course, layout, and challenges. Relatively easy course.

Tee boxes- 95% perfect. There may have been some uneven areas.

Fairways- like carpet. Everything is incredibly green.

Greens- great conditions but slow.

Staff- super friendly. There is no rush here.

Note- amenities are lacking but take note of nature. It’s 4,000 ft in elevation. When hitting irons (unto the green) club down. Your ball travels further.

It was our first time and we were kinda anticipating to see some lava or volcano related stuff but it turned out nothing like that around the course. Having said that, it cannot be construed as a lack of amenities or whatsoever. We enjoyed our round very much.

Fantastic course. 4,000 ft in elevation. Ball travels further. Many times I had to club down with my approach shots. Not a difficult course.

Tee boxes- not all perfectly level but level enough

Fairways were all great. Felt like walking on carpet

Bunkers- lacking sand. Raked but more dirt than sand.

Greens- slow. Nothing tricky

It’s a must play course. One of my favorites. It’s no PGA course, but it is special.

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.
