Sitting well above the Kohala Coast, Waikoloa Village offers a very good golf experience for all levels of handicappers in a friendly and slightly cooler environment. It's a straightforward track with few surprises, nicely laid out. Most fairways have generous landing areas and most hazards are avoidable with clear thinking and good ball striking. The greens were not particularly fast,... More

Here is the only reasonable golf course on this side of the island. The fairways are excellent. The greens are usually quite good. They have 4 tees: front, senior, and the back 2 whatever they are called. I don't like the sand traps. Most should be called gravel traps and you should chip out of them instead of the usual... More

We played the first week of March. We got a very good price on Golfnow.com. This is not a fancy place, but we are here to play golf, and not pay an exorbitant rate just for the name. It looks like there are folks playing that are staying on the island for extended stays, not the jet-setters. Greens were in... More

Lots of golf courses to pick from but the prices are very high. This is a very nice course and the price is right. We played here twice during our stay. The clubhouse isn't much and the restaurant recently had a fire so don't plan on cocktails after golf with a view here. The course has challenges but most of... More

I hadn’t planned to play golf on my Hawaii vacation. At more than $180 dollars for most courses I said - no way! However, after arriving I saw an ad for Waikoloa Village golf and reconsidered. Eighteen holes, cart, and an excellent set of Taylormade rental clubs cost $120. The staff was extremely welcoming and helpful. The fairways are wide... More

good golf course at reasonable price, very friendly staff, can get a little windy, which will make the last hole quite a challenge

My wife and I played this course today. We really didn't know what to expect, though the R T Jones JR design got our attention. It turned out to be quite a good afternoon and we would go back and recommend it. It is a very playable course and comfortable for both of us (I'm a 6 handicap and my... More

The Waikoloa Village GC is a real gem of a course designed by R T Jones. Being about 1500 ft above sea level it is quite a bit cooler than those down on the coast. It is a challenging design and water comes into play on several holes. The only negative feature of the course is the bunkers which are... More

I was staying at the adjacent Paniolo Greens which gave me a 50% discount on the twilight rate, so only $50 per round. Very good value. The course itself is relatively straightforward, a few tricky holes, e.g. the 18th green is surrounded by water, no really rough rough. But, when the wind is blowing, it becomes a very challenging course... More
