Golfing Again “I’m The Captain Right Now”

Finally playing again , Wonderful staff, such a pleasure to play Waikoloa Village Course. Pace of play was spot on Never feeling rushed or slowed down. Should be able to provide Beverage Cart person on course safely by not selling food but just drinks in cans or bottled water.

Overall another beautiful day in the land of Aloha

Great golf course. Greens extremely hard to read.

I play this course on a regular basis, Village resident and Men's Club member. It has been closed for almost two months ( Corona Virus), but it was still maintained by the greens crew. It is in the best condition it has ever been.

Very Pleasant Surprise

Love golfing on the Big Island.

Happened upon a course that is NOT a resort course (where they charge exorbitant prices)

Waikoloa Village Course.

A cut-above a muni course.

In very, very nice condition!

Has it all - dogleg right and left, water, up and down.

Have been back several times.

Bargain and elegance in one package!

Great golf experience

The golf course was great and they had the best solution regarding the pins. Excellent choice. The only negative experience was trying to set up a account and booking on line with Golfnow.com this was terrible .

Course Back from Covid Quarantine

We are local and have enjoyed this course in the past. The staff has done a fine job of balancing safety and playing fun. Good mix of challenges. This is a great value course, well maintained, beautiful views, and the flow of play has been very satisfactory. Because of social distancing still in force, there aren't any off-course amenities.

Golf Now is a Rip Off

I booked a tee time at Waikoloa through golf now and ended up paying 3x what I would have if I had just booked through the hotel. .Potential bookers, be warned.

Beautiful Day

It was a perfect day for golf in Hawaii. Perfect temperature, perfect wind conditions ( I have played here in a gale) and I was looking forward to playing here for the first time in five years. The Nene were nesting and nursing their goslings and the staff were very attentive and professional. I enjoyed my round so much I’m booked for tomorrow. Mahalo

Great Course/ Unpleasant Desk Attendant

Showed up to course at 8:10 for a 8:20 tee time for 9 holes. We were second in line and waited for attendant to finish with person in front of us. Male at desk greeted us with the statement 'You're late'. Actually we weren't, but he determined that we didn't have enough time to start and stated 'you have missed your tee time"--it was now 8:18 and he said you can play later or you can forfeit your deposit. We asked what the next time was and were told that 9:05 would be the next time. We were good with that. The weather was perfect, the course was beautiful, the day was awesome after I left the club house and dealt with your UNFRIENDLY desk attendant. My suggestion is that you change your desk attendant (large, unhappy male) and then you will receive 5 stars across the board.
