Mauna Kea Golf Course – A Stop On Our Way In Waikoloa For Breakfast! Monday came and we were up and running to get an early start on our day and our third round of golf on the Big Island. Headed to the Waikoloa Golf Club at the King's Golf Course to shop and then have breakfast before heading to the Mauna Kea Golf Course located at the Mauna Kea Marriott Resort—about an hour's drive north of our hotel. After our delicious breakfast, we were on our way for an afternoon round of golf at the beautiful and scenic Mauna Kea Golf Resort located at the base of the Mauna Kea Volcano. This course was by far the most challenging of the three rounds we played. The elevation alone on each of the 18 holes, made walking to your ball a challenge as well ... even with a golf cart! Check this course off your bucket list after your round at the legendary Mauna Kea Golf Course, created in 1964 by Robert Trent Jones Sr. on what was once a barren black lava field. Today, lush fairways tumble across seaside cliffs with unfolding ocean and coastal views. Elevated, undulating greens and prevailing coastal winds demand accuracy, while the epic over-the-ocean signature third hole guarantees an unforgettable day of play.
