Waikōloa Kings' Nine

"They have three 9 hole courses, the King, Lakes and Ocean. The courses are in good condition and friendly staff. Wide fairways but still challenging. Their online pricing was confusing. I selected the Kings course and Lakes Course and prices showed for that selection it was $89 As it turned out that was for EACH nine holed so total was $178. Selecting the Ocean nine hole increases the total about another $40.."

"We were told we would be playing Beach/King. Was never told a junior golf tournament was going to be playing ahead of us when booking round. Never played King but played beach/lakes. Beach had a few nice views but the.course is dry and brown-HORRIBLE condition. Greens were bumpy and shaggy. Don't waste your money this is a overpriced hyped course that isn't cheap. No cart GPS. Also were told can't warm up because of the tournament. They don't care about the patrons"

"Pricing and tee time problems. Staying on property only a couple of days. Stopped into pro shop in person to inquire about rates. Was told one price booked a tee time. When I arrived I was then quoted a price 4 times higher than what prompted me to book. I was then told there’s nothing they can do. Ended up canceling. Frustrated I planned one of only a couple precious days in Hawaii to get a run around. Beautiful course but seems to be confusion around staff members."

"Excellent course! - Played the 9 on Kings, excellent layout - Course conditions were great, well maintained fairways, clean - Greens were bit slow, felt dry not crusty but on the dry side - Good pace of play - Rented clubs (Cobras) in good shape - Course gives out 2 bottles of water per player and a few tees - Prices were not cheap but given the location, not too pricey either - Pro shop staff and starter/cart assistant were top notch and polite"

"My reservation for two days, which was booked at the reception the evening before, had disappeared the next morning on the playing day. Looking at the screen of booking staffs, two days are different screens, so I feel malice. It is extremely unpleasant due to poor management."
