About Waikoloa Golf Club - Beach Course

This is the Beach Nine at Waikoloa Beach Resort, on the lava coast of the Kohala side of the Big Island. The resort's golf is now 27 holes: the Beach, Lakes and Kings' nines, and you play any two of them as an 18-hole round (or all three in a day). The Beach Nine is par 35 and 3,281 yards. The landing areas are generous and the greens are big, with low-lipped bunkers, so you can play it safe or go after birdies.

The hole to know is the sixth, a par 5 on a strip of fairway between black lava fields that runs down to the ocean, then turns hard left to a green ringed by palms with the surf behind it.

Robert Trent Jones Jr. opened the first version of the Beach Course in 1981 as an 18-hole, par-70 layout. He has said they built it around two kinds of lava: the older brown a'a, which crumbled and could be shaped, and the newer black pahoehoe, which had to be covered. The par-5 seventh on that original course was named Hemolele, Hawaiian for perfection. The resort's courses were later reshuffled into the three nines you play today.

It's one of 12 courses Yoink watches in the Big Island area, and the closest alternative is Mauna Lani Resort North Course, about 1 mile away — handy when your first choice is booked solid.

What it's like to play Waikoloa Golf Club - Beach Course

13 of the 18 holes bend, so position off the tee matters more than length. There are about 70 bunkers out there, well above average, so a good bunker game pays. A creek or river runs through the property and comes into play on 2 holes.
