Planning to play golf on the Big Island of Hawaii? From oceanfront holes and dramatic lava landscapes to scenic inland courses, the Big Island offers golf experiences that can become the highlight of your vacation.
But choosing the right course takes more than looking at photographs. Where you are staying, your budget, your playing ability and the type of golf you enjoy all matter.

Good Advice Matters as Much as a Good Tee Time
The right golf course is not always the most expensive or the most famous. It is the one that fits the experience you want, the time you have and the budget you are comfortable spending.
Our firsthand local knowledge can help you answer the questions that matter:
- Which courses make sense for where we are staying?
- Where can we enjoy ocean views or a different inland setting?
- Which options fit our playing ability and budget?
- Are there playing restrictions or maintenance notices to consider?
- How can we combine several rounds without unnecessary driving?
Trust starts with knowing who you are booking with. Hawaii Tee Times is a real Hawaii-based business with an experienced local team you can speak to. We visit the courses, we play them, and we use that experience to help you plan.
