Waikoloa Kings’ Golf Course

Consistently ranked as one of the best courses in the Aloha State, the Kings’ Course is a solid test of your golfing skills. On this shot-makers’ layout, scoring means managing your game, always keeping in mind the shot to follow. Designed by former (British) Open champion Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, the signature hole on the Kings’ Course is No. 5, a classic risk/reward short par 4. At 327 yards, big hitters may be tempted to go for the narrow green, particularly as the hole often plays with the wind at your back. If you pull off the drive, you’re putting for eagle. On the other hand, anything short lands you in the middle of a Mojave-sized sand trap with huge lava boulders between you and the green.

An exciting trio of finishing holes makes Waikoloa Kings’ a great matchplay course. The topper is No. 18, a medium-length par 5 that features deep pot bunkers and a vast field of lava on the left. If you’re up in the match, play it safe. But if you’re down, two good shots can get you back in the game.

After golf, the Kings’ Grille is the place to enjoy a bite to eat or a cold beverage while you tally your winnings.
