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.

Relaxing Round of Golf

Teed off around 12:30pm for a relaxing round of golf. Total time was 4 1/2 hours but it seemed we were briefly waiting on many holes. The course conditions were excellent from tee boxes to fairways to the greens. And of course the views of the mountains and ocean were wonderful.

Excellent course and fun to play.

This course is in a great location so you don’t have to worry about the regular afternoon rains that affect the courses higher up the mountain. Lots of interesting holes and a few right along the ocean. Lots of goats on a couple holes but they don’t affect the play. Would definitely return to this course next time on on the island.

Kona Country Club

The Kona Country Club is a fairly forgiving layout with wide open fairways, scenic lava
lined holes with dramatic views of the ocean. The greens are slow but roll true and their undulations can be challenging.The pace of play in the afternoon was good enough to allow for a cheap late start with ample time to finish. So take advantage of the cheaper afternoon rates. The views from the clubhouse are awesome. Id play again.
