What about the amenities at the Kona Country Club? I’ve heard mixed reviews about the course itself, but how’s the clubhouse?
Kona Country Club has decent amenities, although the clubhouse could use some updating. Their food is solid, but it’s not as fancy as others. Still, it’s a good value overall.
Good to know, megan08. Does anyone know about their equipment rental? Are the clubs well-maintained?
I’ve had mixed experiences with the rental clubs at Kona Country Club. Some were okay, while others felt a bit worn. It might be hit or miss, lesliefuller.
I’ll take my own clubs just to be safe! 
But seriously, what about the atmosphere? Any courses that really stand out for their vibe?
Definitely check out the ambiance at Mauna Lani! The sunsets are beautiful from the course, and the staff is super friendly. It feels very welcoming.
If you’re looking for a great stay near the top golf courses in Kona, I recommend checking out the Hilton Waikoloa Village. It’s right near the Waikoloa Beach Resort, which has some excellent courses.
I love the Hilton! The pools are fantastic, and the scenery is breathtaking. Perfect after a long day on the greens!
Another great option is the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. It’s luxurious and conveniently located near the Mauna Kea Golf Course, which is one of the top-rated courses on the island.
I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about that place! Have you stayed there? Is it worth the price?

For budget-friendly options, consider the Kona Seaside Hotel. It’s a bit more affordable, and you’re still close to multiple courses like the Kona Country Club.
That’s a solid recommendation, sbaur! Do you think it’s a good spot for families too?
Absolutely! Families can enjoy the beach and the pool. Plus, it’s an easy drive to the golf courses. A perfect combo!

Don’t forget about vacation rentals! They can often provide a home-like atmosphere and be very close to courses. Check out AirBnB or Vrbo for options around the golf clubs.
A home-like atmosphere sounds great! But is it easier than just booking a hotel?
It really depends on your preference. Some love the amenities of a hotel, while others prefer the space and privacy of a rental. It can be a bit more effort, but worth it for a long stay.
Truth! I guess I’ll be weighing the pros and cons. Any tips on which golf courses to prioritize?
Definitely play at the National Tropical Botanical Garden course and the Kona Country Club. Both offer spectacular views and challenging gameplay!
