Big Island Golf Courses
Bring your golf clubs for your Big
Island vacation. Hawaii Big Island is known as the Golf Capital
of Hawaii. The Big Island offers 17 golf courses which makes it
hard for the visiting golfer to choose from. Be aware that rates
for playing at Kohala Coast oceanfront resorts can be very expensive.
There are still plenty of golf courses with moderate rates available
for Big Island golfers on a budget. With the perfect warm
weather of the Big Island and spectacular views, playing golf
on the Big Island is truly a highlight of your Hawaii vacation.
The Big Island offers many championship golf courses,
designed by big names like famous 18-hole Mauna Kea golf course
by Robert Trent Jones Sr. with the signature third hole, a 210-yard
par 3, which requires a tee shot that carries over 180 yards of
ocean to reach the green.
Kohala Coast Golf Courses
Mauna Kea Golf Course
With Mauna
Kea Beach Hotel's total renovation and remodeling, which started
in 2006, decisions were made to overhaul and redo championship Mauna
Kea Golf Course. Without changing the essential character of his
father's design, Jones has re-planted the Course with highly efficient
ultra-dwarf Tifeagle Bermuda grass on the greens and Tifway 419
hybrid Bermuda grass on the tees, fairways and roughs. In addition,
the Resort opened with a newly constructed Pro Shop, locker rooms
and clubhouse restaurant. The golf restaurant will change from a
golfer's oasis by day to a family-friendly dinner option by night.
Grand opening of Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and Golf Course was in March
2009. View the classy
new Mauna Kea golf facilities that will make your Mauna Kea
golf experience even more memorable.
Hapuna Golf Course
When staying at Big Island's Kohala Coast hotels,
the passionate golfer still has a number of top choices. Hapuna
Golf Course offers spectacular views of the Kohala Coast and
the Pacific Ocean while the majestic volcanoes Mauna Kea Summit
and Mauna Loa deliver the most unique backdrop.
Mauna Lani Golf Courses
Mauna
Lani Resort is well known for its two 18-hole championship North
and South Courses. The fairway of the Mauna Lani South Course displays
crashing surf. North Course is somewhat more challenging and takes
longer to play than the South Course.
Waikoloa Beach Resort Golf Courses
Waikoloa Beach Resort with Marriott Hotel, Hilton
Waikoloa Hotel and various Waikoloa Beach Resort condo complexes
offers two golf courses for Big Island golfers: the Waikoloa
Kings' Golf Course and Waikoloa
Beach Golf Course. The Beach Course features narrow fairways
cut into rugged lava fields. Forget about that golf ball disppearing
in the lava rocks. Just drop a new one.
Hualalai Golf Course (private
membership only)
Hualalai
Golf Course is a Jack Nicklaus course and the latest one on
the Kohala Coast. It is where the PGA Mastercard Championship takes
place. Be aware that only guests who stay at the Four Seasons Hualalai
Resort can reserve tee times there.
Kona Golf Courses
Kona Golf Courses might not be as well known as
the championship golf courses on the Kohala Coast are but there
are still great options for playing golf in the Kona area. One is
the Kona Country
Club which offers two 18-hole courses, the Ocean Course and
the Alii Mountain Course. These Kona courses have challenging terrain
in a spectacular setting. Makalei
Hawaii Country Club on the lower slopes of Hualalai Mountain
affords golfers pleasant year-round weather conditions and panoramic
views ranging from Kona to the Kohala Coast views. Find more information
and photos on another Kona Golf Course, the Big
Island Country Club.
Waikoloa Golf Course
The Waikoloa
Village golf course is challenging enough for the serious golfer,
but fun for beginners as well. It's a favorite of locals and visitors
alike. Located on the foothills of Mauna Kea overlooking the Pacific
Ocean, the Waikoloa Village Golf Course is truly one of Hawaii's
most beautiful golf courses. Golf rates are more accommodating the
budget traveler on Big Island vacation.
Waimea Golf Course
Another choice for those who don't mind to drive
a few miles but save big on golf fees, is the Waimea
Country Club Golf Course. Be aware that this is an upcountry
golf course which can be frequently in the rain or drizzle. We recommend
to call and make sure the weather conditions allow you to enjoy
your golf round. Get
a glimpse of the holes. This is not your typical Hawaiian resort
golf course.
Hamakua Coast Golf Course
The Big Island also offers public golf courses
which are nice for beginners who want to try out out some first
time golf on their Big Island vacation to tell friends that they
played gold in Hawaii. So try Hamakua
Country Club Golf Course. Even if you are not playing well and
get frustrated about your first golf game, at least you have not
spent big money on golfing in Hawaii.
Hilo Municipal Golf Course
If you have never played golf before your Big
Island vacation but want to give golf a try, this is a great option.
