Waikoloa Beach Resorts (Hawaii Island)

This is a great alternative to the high-priced (for non Hawaiian golfers) resort courses nearby. Nice layout gentle slopes, many doglegs. Greens in good shape but many had speeds hard to predict without prior experience. Bunkers are ground coral, a learned experience (done to protect against sometimes high wind velocity). Lots of cold water on course for refilling your water bottle.

The final hole, a par 5 over water, requires planning and sound judgment!

We just loved it. What a beautiful course, the grass was great and the layout challenging and varied.

This course allows 5somes with their mens club players. They all think they’re Tiger Woods!!! One guy had on his dingy stretched out neck t-shirt!!! What happened to golf etiquette? They drove onto the t-boxes and right next to the greens. Including the t-shirt guy parking his cart constantly right in front of the green, which contributed to the slow play because we’d have to wait for him to move to hit our ball. VERY rude. But what would you expect from locals?

A RT Jones "town" course rambling through Wiakola Village 5 miles above the beach resorts. Fun to play. Good value..
