subject: On The Course: Hawaiian Golf Vacations [print this page] Meticulously groomed greens cast against the mystic blue skies and surrounded by deep ocean hues create a golf experience second to none and come only from the beautifully landscaped courses found in Waikoloa, Hawaii. By booking into a Big Island golf resort on Waikoloa Beach, duffers will find magnificent golf opportunities on Waikoloas two championship golf courses
The Waikoloa Beach course takes golfers on a winding trail created from ancient lava fields along the Kohala coastline. With swaying coconut trees and soft ocean breezes, this picturesque course is a must for Waikoloa golf vacations. From its twelfth hole, golfers must concentrate intently on the game, so as not to be distracted by a spectacular ocean view that often includes glimpses of magnificent humpback whales and views of the other Hawaiian Islands. A significant challenge for players of all skill levels, the classic design of this fantastic course includes well-guarded white sand bunkers and strategic water features.
Nearby is the Waikoloa Kings Golf Course, offering a more rigorous course but equally as beautiful as Waikoloa Beach and also near a luxury golf resort. Waikoloa golfing could be described as the equivalent to golfing in paradise as this course offers remarkable views of the towering volcanoes of the Big Island framed by palm trees and brilliant flowers. Again trailing over ancient lava flow, the Kings course is well-known for its wide undulating fairways, multiple tee placements and challenging pot bunkers. Resembling coast courses in Scotland, golfers will find a double green at the third and sixth holes, adding to the excitement and challenge of the game.
