When I visited the Waikoloa Beach Resort in late 2008, I was impressed by the welcoming nature apparent in every aspect of the place. Every staff member had an ear to ear grin, the plantation-style clubhouse just beckoned to be entered and the general layout of the facility made it easy to navigate. Aside from the fact that Waikoloa’s two sensational courses (The Kings and The Beach courses) are nationally recognized as two of the best on the Big Island, they also set up well for varying levels of skill. Making Waikoloa an exceptional choice for a family golf excursion in Hawaii. 

Recently Waikoloa Beach Resort announced an invitation to golfers of all skill levels to share a Hawaii golf experience with the whole family during the club’s new “Waikoloa Family Golf Days.” From June 1 – July 31, 2009, after 3:00 p.m. every day of the week, families can play nine holes on the Kings’ Course for the summer value price of $50 per adult and $25 per junior golfer age 17 and under. The cost includes green fees, cart fee and complimentary top-of-the-line rental clubs for juniors. Adult clubs are available at a $25 rental fee, and junior clubs are provided on a first-come first-served basis.This golf opportunity further secures Waikoloa Beach Resort’s position as a pre-eminent golf vacation spot for avid-core golfers, women and junior golfers alike. 

“Waikoloa Family Golf Days is a perfect opportunity for our many hotel, condominium and resident guests to bring their families out to enjoy this recreational activity in a pristine island setting,” said Scott Head, vice president of operations for the Waikoloa Land Company.

Waikoloa Beach Resort is situated on 1,350 acres of the beautiful Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii – the Golf Capital of the Aloha State. Waikoloa features two golf courses with unique layouts specifically designed to challenge shot-making skills while letting golfers enjoy the magnificent beauty of the Big Island: views of the majestic, often-times snow-capped Mauna Kea Mountain and the warm, tranquil Pacific Ocean.

Waikoloa Kings’ Course, created by British Open champion Tom Weiskopf with design partner Jay Morrish is, appropriately, a Scottish-style layout in paradise. The 7,064-yard, par-72 track meanders in and out of ancient lava fields and features 83 strategically-placed sand traps and pot bunkers along with other authentic links golf trappings such as double greens and undulating fairways.

Waikoloa’s Beach Course, designed by the vaunted Robert Trent Jones, Jr., leads players to the Pacific Ocean along a breathtaking coastline to enjoy stunning views of humpback whales off shore. The holes of the spectacular 6,566-yard, par-70 course weave through strategically placed water features, 74 newly restored bunkers, and ancient lava fields down to the surf’s edge.
