Waikoloa Village Course

First time playing this course. Course was in good condition, didn’t care for the bunkers though. I’ve never seen one with very small pebbles for sand. Greens were nice some slow and others were fast. Was a bit windy in the morning but tapered off about mid morning. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will come back.

Slow play No marshals!

We usually like to play this course but today we were behind a 3 some and they were playing the blues which by the way they hit the balls they should have been playing the reds! Some of their drives didn’t even go past the red ts So I’m thankful we didn’t see any pants down! But they clearly didn’t have any edict as far as letting us play thru or driving next to the greens or hitting multiple balls We really like the course , except for the rocks in the bunkers, we never hit out of them cause we don’t want to damage our clubs but otherwise we will be back and hopefully we won’t get behind some extremely slow players!

Not tricked up. Straight forward course. Few hazards and OB rarely comes into play. Didn’t lose a ball; played 18 on the same ball. Made for a nice afternoon!

Only complaint would be that the sand traps have no sand. They have crushed lava and stone.

Well kept course and Great pace of play

This was second time playing course and very pleased with the conditions of greens and fairways. Very windy on day I played but that didn’t stop our group from playing 18 in 3:45. Love the ocean views on several holes. Nice staff and very good restaurant for post round meal. See you next time WVGC!

Windy

I love this course, unfortunately we had 25+ mph winds ( luck of the draw) so playing was difficult. I’ve played three different times and will play again.

Enjoyable layout

Played Beach/Lakes. A few semi blind shots. Real disappointments were the spotty greens and dirt no sand fairway bunkers.
