Waikoloa Beach Resort Golf

Kings’ Course at Waikoloa Beach Resort, sculpted from ancient lava flows on Hawaii’s Kohala Coast, presents a stark, yet beautiful contrast to the turquoise Pacific. Designed by Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish in the late 1980s, its wide fairways invite aggressive play, while strategic bunkering and undulating greens test the mettle of even seasoned golfers. The constant trade winds favor those who can master low, piercing shots – rewarding strategic thinking more than raw power. While the course may not host majors, its playability and stunning setting make it a favorite among resort guests and local golfers alike. Carved into the black lava rock, the emerald fairways create a visually striking experience, unique to this corner of the Big Island. The course demands respect with its length, and the firm, fast conditions that define links-style play, albeit with a decidedly Hawaiian twist. Beyond the challenging golf, Kings’ Course has become known for its relaxed atmosphere and aloha spirit. The clubhouse, while understated, is a gathering place where stories are shared and new rivalries are born. It's a place where serious golfers come to take the game seriously, but to embrace the natural beauty of the landscape, and the hospitality of its people.
