    Dropped our bags at the bag drop and headed into the pro shop to check in. Staff was friendly and accommodating to our foursome. Had reservations, but said we could head out early if we wanted. Headed to the starter with bags already on our carts with water and ice in the small coolers on the carts. Carts are equipped with GPS - no scorecards provided. We played the South Course after warming up on the unlimited "range ball" driving range. Greens were recently "punched" (wasn't aware of this when booking our round). Needless to say, putting was a challenge, but the course was in epic condition and the views are worth every bit of the green fees. The track is laid out around the lava field with narrow landing spots on some of the holes. Accuracy off the tee box helps when playing here. If you play golf on the Big Island, this is a must play at least once.

    Famous 15th on south course
    Matt C.

    Pretty speechless. I'm shocked this is currently at a 3.9 average. South course was by far the best course I've played, it was gorgeous and very well maintained. Go out as early as you can to avoid the heat and wind!

    Pano of hole 9 north course near our resort.

    36 hole championship facility with breathtaking views of the island mountains and the ocean. Tucked between razor sharp lava fields this lush green extremely expensive thing of beauty is every bit of challenge you could imagine. Undulating greens with slow pits against the grain and extremely fast puts with the grain make the greens a tough challenge. The long lush fairways are flanked by homes as well as the lava fields. The island grass gives you challenges you never expected. It props up the ball only to reveal a deep cushion way below what your mind expects at impact. Great ball strikers will have an amazing round. Duffers with have amazing stories and the best photos to remember the challenge of both the north and south courses. For a more relaxing laid back challenge, check out the par three nine hole Wiki wiki course. It will really sharpen your short game skills. Play it a few times in a row to get the local know knowledge. The carts are so amazingly comfortable. The gps unit connect to you phone to play all you favorite songs while to enjoy the vistas and the links. Other than the huge price this is five stars. Have fun! They also will rent you or sell you anything you forgot to bring to the island. Locals an resort guests get a discounted round. Juniors play free in the late afternoons. Enjoy a round with your kids they will love all three courses.

    Upon arrival straight from the airport, we were warmly greeted by the staff and made to feel very welcomed. We were there for a practice round (daughters were signed up for the USGA Girls Amateur qualifier there on the North course) so they gave us a great price for both the juniors and the adults! Surprisingly, we were the only ones there! We had their awesome practice facilities and the entire course all to ourselves! Beautifully maintained course from tees to greens. Nice ocean views from a couple holes. Some holes with large trees to negotiate, but pretty straightforward layout otherwise. Interesting item of note was that there were really thick swarms of tiny bugs on the front nine. We had to cover our faces with towels to protect our eyes and our shirts were covered with dozens of tiny gnats. Pro shop was pretty large and well stocked. EVERYONE was super friendly. We had a great time and finished in about 4 hours (including 30 minutes at the range to warm up).

    Birdie!

    We played the South course and loved all the scenic views! The front 9 had a few water carries, and the back 9 ran along the ocean. I had a hard time concentrating on golf, there was so much to see! We saw a school of large long jumping fish (aha aha? Ono?) right off the shore, my husband almost hit a flock of nene (our only birdie on this course), and each hole was perfectly manicured, the greens well maintained. The real golfers will tell you to play the North course. If you're like us and just want to play resort golf while you're on vacation, this is the course. Every hole is picture worthy. I've played other ocean Par 3 holes, but the 15th here is my absolute favorite hole. Watch out for the lava hazzards, you go into those and you'll either lose your ball or gain negative yardage when your ball bounces behind you!

    Wow, amazing course!!! Loved it. Had a blast. Arrived early and got to go around with no one in the way. Just beautiful.

    So relaxing! Had the time of my life. Zero riffraff. So beautiful well thought out design.

    Definitely enjoyed the South course more then the North course -- given the views. Courses are in great shape.

Picked up a few things in the pro shop, and the lady cashier (Keiki I believe) was very sweet and accommodating for us. The cart guys were very friendly and set us up for a fun round. The starter was very friendly as well. Overall all, we all just felt as if the staff truly just wanted us to have a great time and make sure we were taken care of. My wife rented a set of clubs and they worked very well for her. Both courses were in great shape and had its challenges. Lost a couple balls, but we were there to just go for it and hope to score low. Great views on the beach-9 with reachable par 5's. Only downside (snacks and bevs) was there was no cart girl. Knowing that, we would have picked up snacks beforehand (our own fault really). We will definitely come back and play again when we return. Highly recommend and am already talking to the guys for a golf trip here soon

I have seen many ocean sunrises and in my lifetime but this view was breathtaking! I had to run back to get my wife to come in just to see the sunset. It was the first impression of this resort which would captivate our senses for the rest of the stay and the next stay, and beyond. As a guest we were treated to 5 star service! The Aloha spirit seems to be in the hearts of all the staff! The Live entertainment on weekends is special, and all you can eat Buffet once a month is worth waiting for! There is so much to do right in the resort from snorkeling and swimming where sea turtles hang out, to enjoying the many pools and spas.....and it is perfectly located to enjoy sunsets, and day trips across the island!

The natural ocean water lagoon is a nice change from a pool, but don't expect it to be teeming with sea life. Occasional fish and turtle will wander in. Dolphin experience is both cool and sad. Dolphins are well taken care of, but kept in very small pens and forced to interact with tourists. If you're at all animal activist-minded, not the property for you. The bad: The customer service is mediocre at best. Which is jarring coming from previous trips to Maui and Kauai, where service is paramount. Left standing at front desk in Hilton Diamond line for 20mins while guests walked up to main line and were helped. Property is aged. Rooms are fine. If you're a fitness person and you plan to use the gym, this is where the hotel website blatantly lies. The fitness center is two old, windowless room with horrible, dingy prison lighting. The equipment is broken, heavily rusted and at least 25-30 years old. Huge disappointment. (See pictures) The indifferent: There's no natural beach. Not uncommon for Kona. But sad that there's no access to tire-pools or ocean unless you swim/trek out beyond the lagoon. The Monorail is PAINFULLY slow. Be ready for a lot of walking (property is huge), the wait for the monorail (that doesn't travel in a loop, so if you want to go one way but the monorail is travelling the other, you have to wait for it to come back) because the wait-time is even more painful. Will update with more details as they come.
