Fun Course, Good Value on the Island.

Great layout. Challenging but fair. Some gettable holes but also a few food risk reward shots out there. A lot of the par 3’s played pretty long into the wind. I could see this being really tough with faster greens and high winds. Tee boxes were in pristine condition, but greens were a bit slow. Overall great value on the big island with some character.

Good fun track

This a really forgiving course for beginner to mid range golfers. Great views. Nice layout and the staff was very friendly. While not a “high end” resort course, it was in pretty good shape. Great value compared to other courses near the Mauna Lana resort area without breaking the bank!!!

Nice course, very well maintain with a very friendly and helpful staff. Good for a beginning golfer up to someone with Is there a 8 or higher handicap. May be a little too easy for a low handicap.

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!
