Waikoloa Beach Resort is home to two of the most stunning and picturesque courses in Hawaii. The golf experience at Waikoloa Beach Resort fires up the competitor in every golfer with bold greens set among rugged lava fields, overlooking the vast Pacific ocean and sparkling under the brilliant year-round sunshine on the Kohala Coast. The two breathtaking courses include the Robert Trent Jones, Jr. oceanfront Beach Course and the Scottish links-style Kings’ Course, designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish.
Winding its way through ancient lava fields set among swaying coconut trees and gentle ocean breeze along the breathtaking Kohala Coast, Waikoloa’s Beach Course is resort golf at its finest. The famous five par hole 7 is one of the most spectacular and photographed holes in Hawaii, placed directly oceanfront with crashing waves pounding against the edge of the greens.
The Robert Trent Jones Jr. design is a par-70 course with 6,566 total yards and a slope of 134. Designed by former British Open champion Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, the Kings’ Course offers golfers views of volcanoes, palm trees and tropical foliage, on a course that resembles a layout found along the coast of Scotland.
