Its location on the Big Island's eastern shore means golfers are treated to a consistently lush environment, thanks to the ample rainfall that nourishes the region. Here, the air is often sweet with the scent of tropical flowers, and the gentle patter of rain can sometimes accompany your swing, adding to the course's distinctive charm. If you're seeking a relaxed round surrounded by natural beauty, a course that prioritizes playability over punishing difficulty, and a genuine taste of Big Island life, then the Hilo Municipal Golf Course is a destination you won't want to miss.

Steve Stogner

Fun golf course. Hit away. Basically the fairways are wide open. The fairways are lined with beautiful palm trees and nice soft consistant green grass. You'll probably have a shot and a good lie. Greens are ok. Competitive shapes and slopes. Some are builtup with steep dropoffs around the perimeter so hit it with a little spin to get the ball to hold if you can. The restaurant is great. We had lunch and the prices are very reasonable. The staff "including the restaurant " was excellent except for the greens fees guy. He was rude and short with me for no reason. I was completely ignored for 45-60 seconds for no reason. I was the only person in line and waited patiently with a smile. He must dislike his job. Should be transfered to a position that has no contact with the public. The guy that collected the cart fee was great. Positive, happy person with a good smile to greet. I highly recommend this course. Even though it rained we had a great time. Come repaired fir that.

Daniel Beekman

Incredible value. $42 green fee for non-residents is great + $12 cart fee. Maintained well. Despite being busy, pace of play was excellent. Definitely recommend to visitors looking for an inexpensive round of golf. Just dont expect resort course conditions.

Sam Roy

Excellent well maintained and clean driving range. There are plenty of driving range spots with good spacing. $4 for a bucket of balls is a good deal. Ample parking. Recommend.
