Waikoloa Beach Resorts (Hawaii Island)

Overall nice layout, great views. Would suggest a cart person to o be a little more available.

Course was challenging but manageable. Wind was big factor! Greens were super fast! Pace of play really good. Totally enjoyed the round.

Overall was a great round of golf. We brought the wives with us so had 4 carts and they were accommodating. Beverage guy was great and always made sure we had enough liquids. Course layout is great, greens looked like they had been aerated recently but still played well.

This course was fun but I had to miss 2 holes due to pace of play. Seriously, there were three groups I had to pass through. First group was the group I got teamed with as a single. They were totally non-golfers who didn’t know how to golf nor did they understand golf etiquette. They all tee’d off from the blue tees and took several mulligans. After they spent over 10 minutes looking for their multiple tee shots, I left them after one hole. Second group I came upon were a family of 4 who were also beginners. I followed them for 2 holes until they waved me through. The 3rd group were a group of EIGHT guys with loud music playing and who were obviously beginners. I asked them if I could play through and they were kind enough to let me through. For a resort course that charges what they charge, I seriously expected a Marshall out their monitoring pace of play. This experience was the most egregious example of poor course management. I really did love the course layout but it needs a lot of love. Sadly, I won’t be recommending this course to anyone.

Really fun course with interesting, well-designed holes. Unpredictable, swirling winds make strategy crucial and the many elevation changes offer unique shot-making opportunities. Staff was friendly and courteous, and the views from up on the hill were stunning. Highly recommend playing this course!

No Marshall… 8 carts including ours when we pulled up to the 18th green, waited almost every hole sometimes for 15 minutes

My first time playing golf on the Big Island. Played Waikoloa Kings and Beach nines and enjoyed the layout and overall course. There was a refreshment cart on the course during play. Good value for the money. Greens were a bit slow as compared to Hapuna and Mauna Kea. Food at the bar was excellent and order a Mulligan for $10.00 (a shot and beer). Would play again but found conditions and course challenge at the other two courses more exciting.

Played by myself at 10:00 in 3:15 hrs. Certainly pace of play affected by number of people on course. Overall course conditions were great with friendly and helpful staff. Moderately challenging as wind can come into play at times. Favorite course I have played on Big Island. Wish wasn’t 50 minutes Kailua-Kona. Highly recommend.

Loved this course. Great condition and moderately challenging with good size fairways. Can get windy. Staff friendly as again played by myself. Played at 10 by myself and really no traffic until 14th hole. Favorite course so far wish didn’t have to drive 50 minutes. Restaurant looked busy although did not try. Water stations every 3 holes.
