Naniloa Volcanoes Golf Course

This heavily-wooded course offers nine holes and only 2,800-odd yards, but with a par of 35, most of the holes are regulation length. A lake comes into play on holes 2 and 5, and the tree-lined fairways require players to drive the ball straight off the tee. Though short, it’s a course that can offer some challenge and certainly a load of fun. Guests of the Naniloa Volcanoes Resort (same ownership and located across the street) receive additional green fee discounts. If you are staying in Hilo, you’ll discover a lovely town that is much the same as it was 100 years ago. Hilo also offers the closest access point to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
