Volcano Golf & Country Club

When you read about “playing golf on top of a volcano” in Hawaii, it’s Volcano Golf & Country Club the writers are referring to. Located inside the boundaries of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, on the slopes of Kilauea Volcano, this is an 18-hole experience you’ll talk about for a long time. Making their way around this course, players are struck by the crisp air, blue skies and tall trees. Some 4,200 feet above sea level, Volcano Golf & CC traces its roots back as far as 1922. In 1967, famed architect Arthur Jack Snyder was commissioned to expand and redesign the holes, and today golfers are wholly tested by Snyder’s clever workmanship. It’s just 40 minutes from Hilo—with lots of cozy lodging options in Volcano—near the National Park, so by all means, go play!
