The Ocean Course is one of two championship courses at Kona Country Club. As its name implies, this course has an oceanfront location with views of the surrounding mountains that are home to its sister course, the Mountain Course. The Ocean Course provides an easier, but no less enjoyable round than its sibling. The layout features wide-open fairways and numerous strategically placed sand bunkers. The turquoise waters and black lava outcroppings provide natural hazards. The signature holes are the third and 12th, but one of the most memorable is the 13th hole where during November through March, you can catch a glimpse of a humpback whale. While both Kona C.C. golf courses provide a variety of challenges, the Ocean Course is a gentle, more player-friendly option that still features the same stunning views as the Mountain Course.

Reader Ratings / Reviews
- Kona CC is really beautiful. I am there a couple of times a year, and always play the Ocean course. Check on aeration as it cuts green speed in half for a week. The club house has a great view of the bay. Food is so so. The Pro Shop staff have been really nice to deal with, The cary guys seem to space out on water and such from time to time.
The course itself has big greens and is kept in first class shape. The back 9 features some nice fade holes along the water by a big blow hole. I have now played most of the big isle courses and Kona CC is up there with some of the best.
