Waikoloa Beach Resort, a Golf Magazine Silver Medal award winner, is situated on 1,350 acres of the beautiful Kohala Coast. Not only does it offer spectacular sand beaches, but has two fabulous golf courses and first-class accommodations at the Hilton Waikoloa Village and the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. This award winning Hawaiian golf resort is the choice destination where avid-core players who dream of playing endless golf will feel at home and certainly challenged. In addition at Waikoloa, serious players can afford to play to their hearts' delight, as the beautiful oceanfront property rewards golfers who play a lot of golf. The property provides the best value among the award winning Hawaiian golf resorts.

The courses, designed by nationally acclaimed architects Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, offer unique layouts that challenge all levels of players while providing spectacular views of the often times snow-capped Mauna Kea mountain and the tranquil Pacific Ocean. Waikoloa's Beach Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., winds its way through ancient lava fields along the breathtaking Kohala coastline. But don't let the swaying coconut trees and gentle ocean breeze lull you into a false sense of security. The Beach Course can be a significant challenge for quality players. The design was literally carved from the lava flow along the picturesque Anaeho'omalu Bay.

The signature hole is the 502-yard, par-5 7th, known throughout the islands as the most spectacular oceanfront par-five in Hawaii. If you are lucky, the sight of humpback whales playing the Pacific can add to the enjoyment of this premier golf experience. The Beach course has also recently undergone a $1-million bunker renovation project. A total of 74 bunker complexes were restored with high-quality sand. The improved bunkers enhance playability and have added more character to the already spectacular design.

Designed by former British Open champion Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish, the Kings' Course offers golfers the best of two worlds, golf in an island paradise but on a course that more closely resembles a layout along the coast of Scotland. The Kings' Course has also received an upgrade in overall maintenance practices to improve its playability and conditions. The 7,064-yard, par-72 track, which is ranked among Golfweek Magazine's Top 100 Resort Courses and among the Top 15 courses in Hawaii, meanders in and out of ancient lava fields and features over 80 strategically placed sand traps and pot bunkers.

The course also offers stunning views of the towering volcanoes of the Big Island framed by palm trees and vibrant flowers. To enhance the links experience, holes 3 and 6 share a double green. The course upgrades along with the improved hotels has vaulted Waikoloa Beach Resort back to being one of the top resort destinations in the country. Over $100 million has been invested at the Hilton Waikoloa Village since 2005. The lower lobby was expanded, restaurants re-designed and the pool areas, sports club and spa were upgraded. The 1,240 guest rooms received new carpeting, bedding, bathroom fixtures, paint and flat screen televisions.

The Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa has also experienced a $50 million dollar makeover including the addition of the Mandara Spa and Fitness Center, upgrades to its 545 guest rooms and suites, an expanded lobby and the addition of a 12,000-sq. ft. ballroom to its meeting space. These resort upgrades have propelled the Waikoloa Beach Resort into the forefront of Hawaii tourism. The resort has been named one of the top golf resorts in the world in the annual Conde Nast Traveler reader poll. Cited in the ranking article were the facilities at the Hilton Waikoloa Village as well as the Beach and Kings' golf courses.  All resort guests are also encouraged to enjoy the daily entertainment and world-class shopping and dining at the Kings' Shops and the recently opened 135,000-sq. ft. Queens' MarketPlace. The open-air MarketPlace offers restaurants, shops, an entertainment stage, studio-theater, public fountains and lush landscaping.
