Great course!

Had a really great day here at Waikaloa. We rented clubs…nice Taylormade clubs in good condition (compared to the beaten up clubs we rented for the same price at Kona Country Club). Pace was perfect, no waiting even though it was busy. Nice variety of interesting holes and very tricky greens. Would definitely recommend.

Great day of golf

We had a wonderful time here playing 18. The weather was perfect and the course was in great shape. When you factor in this friendly customer service focused staff, you can’t help but have fun regardless of how well you play. We will be back!

Nice course, bad, unplayable “sand” traps

We enjoyed the course but did not like the “coral”, “pebble”, “rock” or concrete like “no sand” sand traps. There were many traps surrounding the greens etc. but without sand in them, how are you supposed to play them? I guess the answer is to stay out of them, but that doesn’t always work. Who wants to scratch their club up trying ho hit out of them? Or if you putt out, you may or may not hit over the lip. Just didn’t make any sense. I heard they were coral but I expected a soft white powder, not concrete like rocks.

I would never play there again or recommend any else do so unless they replace with sand “ never going to happen” or loan every player a sand wedge to destroy. It was a shame.
