The Mountain Course

This is a nice course to play a casual round with a friend or spouse. It usually isn't crowded so there is no rush or pressure to play fast. The staff and pro shop are friendly - it would be nice if they provided bottled water, though. As for the course, it was well maintained and challenging enough, especially #14, a downhill par 3 over water, a fun shot!

Nice course great views needs some work

We have played this course for the last 2 years. Greens are in very good shape after punching 3 weeks ago. Fairways often have burned out patches now that we didn’t see a year ago. Goats are on most holes and deficating on tee boxes, greens and fairways. Running through traps, time to relocate them . This course has some great holes along the ocean that keep bringing us back.Bring some water with you as there is no water on the course and the small water bottles provided don’t last 6 holes in the sun after 9 am.

Kona Country Club

Course is in great shape. Greens were cut and rolled. Played the front nine in under two hours as a foursome. Back nine started with a few groups waiting on ten but staff came out and got things moving. Back nine played in 2:15 with the delay. Overall ok but slower than usual. It only takes one group to be out of position. Still a good day on the course.

Nice course greens punched recently and almost back to normal. Way too many goats on the course 🙁

This course has some great scenic holes and challenging holes.we always play here every trip to Kona. They punched greens a couple of weeks ago and they were pretty smooth but a bit slow. However, there were over 100 goats all over the course defecating all over the course, running through traps, denting greens and running through sand traps.This seems to be getting worse here every year. We hope it can be improved. I doubt the goats are native to Hawai’i and probably need to be relocated to the mainland and fences erected.

Greens had just been aerated the day before playing. The web site shows it be done next week. I’m all for aerating the greens, but I feel all courses should be more upfront with this process.

Great Course to play, But….

We play Kona Country Club every time we come to the Big Island which has been for the past 15+ years. This particular day we arrived and found the driving range, practice putting green, and chipping area were all closed. We knew ahead of time that the course was going to be closed the next couple days for course maintenance, but were surprised today when we could not warm up. Other than that, always a great place to play along the Kona coast.

Pleasant day at Kona Country Club

Played a very enjoyable round of golf at Kona Country Club. The course was in great shape with smooth greens and well maintained fairways. While the course is not a difficult layout the views and scenery are amazing. I play this course each year I return to Hawaii.
