Waikoloa Village

First time playing. We have a condo at Mauna Lani Terrace and I played there for years, but under the current management (Auberge) I have stopped playing there. Ive played Maklaii and Makani and Hapuna and I like Waikoloa Village the best, and good value. Course is well maintained and the holes are interesting. Greens are challenging in a good way - maybe a little slow but you adjust to that. Will play there as my go-to course on the Big Island.

Nice track

Staff was super friendly…used a Hot Deal so it wasn’t expensive, went out as a single, caught another single who jumped a hole to avoid a foursome-they let me play through, as did the other single-eventually hit another foursome and simply hung back-played in 3 hours flat.

Great course!

Was paired with a lovely couple that could really play! Course conditions overall were lush and green, just a couple of dry spots on a couple of fairways. A beautiful course overall. Rented clubs for the first time ever and play a full bag of brand new PXG clubs that were killer. Staff at the pro shop were friendly and cool, Johnny’s restaurant staff were also excellent! Mahalo!

Nice course, generally well maintained

Course is in best shape we’ve seen in the 15+ years we’ve been coming here. Only complaint - some of the pins appeared to have been in the same spot for too many days. Some of the hole edges were broken down and raggedy.

Always a first class experience

We have been playing here for the past 20+ years and it continued to improve every year. Cal and Kevin are excellent “cart” guys and we appreciate their assistance and greetings on arrival and departure. The course was in great shape. Thanks to all who prepared the course.

Gorgeous

Had an excellent time playing this course the fairways were manicured greens were rolling true. Played as a single and was paired with a young fella from Oregon who averaged a 300 yard drives off the box, it was fun to watch him hit the ball extremely far. However I was able to hold my own on the front 9 shooting 39 he shot a 40 we were neck and neck then the second 9 came, and a whole lot of bogies never the the less I enjoyed my round and would definitely play it again. I got a cool deal on tee off.com
