Very enjoyable and fair test

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

Very friendly staff.

Range needs water to clean clubs!

Punched greens and 40mph winds

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.

Great bang for your buck

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.

Sevensome

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.

Fun and challenging course.

This is a fun and challenging course but not too challenging. We have enjoyed playing at the Waikoloa Village course every time we visit the island.

Awp

There was few staff and most importantly no Marshall. I quit after 12 holes because the foursome in front of me was molasses slow, had horrible etiquette and the course conditions weren’t up to par for me to want to continue. There were two full holes open in front of them.
