Waikoloa Beach Resorts (Hawaii Island)

Played 9 holes - super quiet, nice scenery. Course was in OK condition.

Son and I played Waikoloa Village golf course twice in one week during July 2022. Golf Now price was excellent especially contrasted with Waikoloa Shores where we were staying. And Hawaii golf experice there was just fine.

Thought I was going to play at the Waikoloa beachside course. NO, this course is miles away at a small town. Don't be fooled!

Apparently this is usually a breezy course but made it to 16 without much then felt Mother Nature wake up, partly due to slow play in front or I would have avoided all together. I would say if the full 18 had been windy (25 mph) I wouldn’t have had as much fun. Tried to add a picture of 3 which has a pond blocking the green, 168 from white tees so tips could get hairy. Green shaggy fairways and advice from the pro shop was “roughs are rough” and they were, wedges had to get balls first no room for fat hits.

We enjoyed playing here. There aren’t many bad lies and the rough isn’t very rough. Exceptional wind can be a challenge, but no more so than other courses on this part of the island.

Generous fairways and greens. Second shots were challenging as greens were well protected.

Very friendly staff.

Range needs water to clean clubs!

Overall vg.

No mention of aeration schedule on website before booking. Would have skipped if I knew about green conditions. Cart/starter/range ball staff was friendly. Finished round in 3hrs with one another player. Would be nice course with healed greens.

We got there early and they joined my son and I up with another twosome so we could get done before the rain. Super friendly and helpful! Go play it’s nice!

Great staff, great course! One of my favorite courses on Big Island.

This course is such a fun course to play. Not easy but not so challenging that it takes the fun away from the round and for the money it costs to play here compared to the courses around it, you can’t beat it. Only negative was the greens were just aerated but that’s no fault of the course, it has to be done. Would definitely go back and play again.

There was a group of seven playing in front of us and they didn't let us play through until the 9th hole! I have never been behind a group of 7 all playing together. Unacceptable! I felt like they should give us a free 9 holes in the future but when we finished there was no one in the clubhouse to tell them about our round.
