Waimea Country Club

This is exactly the kind of course golfers adore: a low-key public facility, nicely maintained, with reasonable rates. If you want to know where the locals go, this is the place. Situated in the still-quaint upcountry town of Waimea—on the flank of Maunakea—the views from this course range from the looming mountain peak down to the Hamakua Coast and the Pacific waters. It feels like you’re playing in a manicured pasture, with tall trees, grassy fields and big skies. We do advise checking the weather before venturing up here, as afternoons can get wet.
