Not tricked up. Straight forward course. Few hazards and OB rarely comes into play. Didn’t lose a ball; played 18 on the same ball. Made for a nice afternoon!

Only complaint would be that the sand traps have no sand. They have crushed lava and stone.

Well kept course and Great pace of play

This was second time playing course and very pleased with the conditions of greens and fairways. Very windy on day I played but that didn’t stop our group from playing 18 in 3:45. Love the ocean views on several holes. Nice staff and very good restaurant for post round meal. See you next time WVGC!

Windy

I love this course, unfortunately we had 25+ mph winds ( luck of the draw) so playing was difficult. I’ve played three different times and will play again.

Enjoyable layout

Played Beach/Lakes. A few semi blind shots. Real disappointments were the spotty greens and dirt no sand fairway bunkers.

Waikoloa Village

My round at Waikoloa Village was very challenging the course was beautiful and the layout was good for my caliber of play

The issue that day was the wind we had gust up to 40mi/hr 2to 3 club wind very very challenging look forward to playing it again without the wind ✌️
