Waikoloa Beach Resorts (Hawaii Island)

Played King/Lakes combo. Can not use SkyCaddie to get distances. Very frustrating.

Overall, we like the tough layout. Beautiful setting and good pace of play. It is a bit pricey for the condition it is in. Greens are uneven and inconsistent. Fairways are in good shape. Roughs are, well, rough.

I've been playing the Beach and Kings courses for 25+ years, and while I really love the layout, it's sad to see these two fine courses in such poor shape. This has nothing to do with the pandemic, it's been declining years before that. Fairways are spotty and dry, greens are super slow and irregular, sand traps are thin with lots of lava chunks that will ruin your wedge, cart path asphalt buckling, carts are worn, no GPS,...I could go on, but let's just say this is a wonderful Hawaii resort course with muni-like conditions. The grounds crew, starter, and cart staff are super-friendly, the pro-shop is well stocked but the staff are rude and disinterested to their customers. They shut down 9 holes of the Kings course after covid so it's now a 27 hole layout that could be fun IF they ever get the conditions back to what it used to be...I keep hoping but suggest avoiding until it improves when you have Hapuna, Mauna Kea, and Mauna Lani near by that are FAR superior to Waikoloa and in the same/similar price range (hawaii rates).

Interesting layout, really good condition, some challenging holes especially with the winds. Staff was very friendly and helpful, when i had misplaced my rangefinder they helped me look until found.

Played in 4 hours which was great, would definitely play again…waikoloa

Ocean view, lava rough, tunnel under a parkway, and a challenging layout all make a unique and fun golfing experience.

Beach Golf delivers good golf entertainment. Good times!

Very good fairway and green conditions. Challenging layout

Played the Beach/Kings course. Only #6 on the Beach nine was along the ocean, but still a fun layout. Greens were a little rough and slow.

Kings was also a good layout, with nicer greens. Of course I will remember the Kings, since I had an ace on #3!.

Both courses have pretty generous fairways, so the lava is not in play, except for errant tee shots.

Overall, a nice course, with good amenities and excellent staff!

Beautiful course with a great layout, but very challenging when you are facing 35-40 mph winds.

The course is well maintained the the staff are excellent

Some reviews amaze me- we didn't experience any of what the last 2 reviews did- greens were not slow, pace was 4 hours , greens rolled fine, service was great- we had no complaints

there is a good course for the value of rate,but the green

is slow.

I paid for myself and my partner to play this course. It was such a terrible experience that it prompted me to write my first review ever. The drive in shows some red flags ie cars being broken into etc. the clubhouse was sub par as was the bar. You are paying country club rates to play what I view as a municipal course. The greens were in pretty rough shape but we were still willing to give it a go. The play was so slow 10-30 minute wait on every tee box that we decided to quit after the 6th hole. We talked to the head person there as we quit and we’re told there was nothing they could do for us including comping a future round (which wouldn’t have mattered because I’m not going back). Between the condition/ the neighborhood/ the facilities/ the pace of play and the terrible customer service you’d be better off playing any other course on the island and I’ve played most of em.
