Thinking About Living in Waikoloa Beach Resort Golf Club?

Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Waikoloa Beach Resort Golf Club and the surrounding Big Island / Kona-Kohala Coast golf market.

Connect With a Local Real Estate Specialist

Waikoloa Beach Resort is a 1,350-acre master-planned resort on the South Kohala coast, built around two courses: the Waikoloa Kings' Course (Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish) and the Waikoloa Beach Course (Robert Trent Jones Jr.), the latter carved directly from lava flow along 'Anaeho'omalu Bay. Golf access runs through the resort's Kings' Club membership program, offered in Gold and Silver tiers, with benefits including discounted golf shop pricing, complimentary practice-facility access, club concierge services, and immediate-family privileges. Unlike the corridor's mandatory-membership clubs, Kings' Club membership is explicitly open not just to resort property owners but to Hawai'i residents and part-time residents generally -- a genuinely broader eligibility model than Kukio, Kohanaiki, Hualalai, Mauna Lani, or Mauna Kea.

Several of the resort's named residential communities have a real, confirmed physical relationship to the golf corridor: Waikoloa Colony Villas sits directly on the Beach Course's 10th and 15th fairways, and Fairway Villas (golf- and lakefront townhomes near the Kings' Shops) borders the course corridor as well. Other resort communities -- Kolea (oceanfront on 'Anaeho'omalu Bay) and Vista Waikoloa (centrally located condominiums) -- are within the resort but not confirmed as directly on-course; buyers should verify each community's actual proximity individually rather than assume uniform golf-course access from the shared resort brand.

Golf & Course

The Waikoloa Kings' Course (Tom Weiskopf and Jay Morrish) and the Waikoloa Beach Course (Robert Trent Jones Jr., carved from lava along 'Anaeho'omalu Bay) are the resort's two 18-hole layouts; together they total 36 holes.

Membership & Access

Does buying a home here include club membership?

No — homeownership does not automatically include membership. See details below.

The Kings' Club (Gold and Silver membership tiers) is the resort's paid golf-access program. Unlike the corridor's mandatory-membership clubs, eligibility is broad: all residential property owners, Hawai'i residents, and part-time residents are welcome to join -- membership is not restricted to Waikoloa Beach Resort owners specifically, and is not a condition of buying a home here.

Living in Waikoloa Beach Resort Golf Club

Waikoloa Colony Villas (10th and 15th Beach Course fairways) and Fairway Villas are confirmed on-course/golf-adjacent communities; Kolea and Vista Waikoloa are within the resort but their proximity to the courses specifically was not confirmed as directly on-course.

Lifestyle & Amenities

Beyond golf, the resort includes multiple hotels (including the Hilton Waikoloa Village), the Kings' Shops and Queens' MarketPlace retail centers, and direct beach access at 'Anaeho'omalu Bay.

Location & Surrounding Area

Waikoloa Beach Resort sits on the South Kohala coast between Mauna Lani Resort to the north and the Kona-Kohala Coast's southern clubs; it should not be confused with the separate, inland Waikoloa Village Golf Club, which shares the Waikoloa name but sits mauka (upland) of the beach resort and has no confirmed developer-residential tie to this cluster.

What Buyers Should Verify

  • Confirm current Kings' Club Gold and Silver plan fees directly -- not found published this session.
  • Verify each residential community's (Kolea, Vista Waikoloa, Colony Villas, Fairway Villas, Hali'i Kai) actual proximity to the golf courses individually; do not assume uniform on-course access from the shared resort brand.
  • Do not conflate Waikoloa Beach Resort with the separate, inland Waikoloa Village Golf Club.

Notable

  • Kings' Club membership is explicitly open to Hawai'i residents and part-time residents generally, not just Waikoloa Beach Resort property owners -- the broadest eligibility model of any club researched on this corridor.
  • Waikoloa Colony Villas sits directly on the Beach Course's 10th and 15th fairways.
