r Kumu Hou at Waikoloa Waikoloa Land Company has stewarded Waikoloa Beach Resort for over 40 years. The Resort has thrived as a master-planned community and vacation destination, and now directly and indirectly supports over 5,000 local jobs on Hawaii Island. In recent years, however, dramatically changing market conditions have made it clear that 36 holes of golf are not sustainable at Waikoloa Beach Resort in the long term. With that in mind, WLC spent four years creating a plan to reinvigorate and ensure the viability of this gathering place for future generations. Our vision is to: • Retain a 27-hole golf club and complex. This complex would preserve all 18 holes of the Beach Course, and 9 at the Kings' Course, while creating new configurations of play and replacing the old golf clubhouse and driving range. • Repurpose the lands under 9 fairways of the former Kings' Golf Course (previously closed due to COVID protocols) for new timeshare, residential and recreational uses, all within existing Land Use Commission, General Plan, and Special Management Area guidelines. • Reconfigure some existing plans to set future development further back from. Queen Kaahumanu Highway, enhancing the existing 800' highway setback. • Create two new parks open to the general public and update coastal access from within the Resort. • Eliminate the use of potable water for landscape irrigation within Kumu Hou, while also increasing the availability of recycled water for golf course irrigation. This will enable less use of the underground aquifer even as we convert our landscaping to brackish water sources. • Construct at least 140 affordable rental housing units within the Resort. We call this project Kumu Hou, which calls to mind a new and refreshed purpose. Project Details Kumu Hou is planned in three areas: • Area A will relocate 264 already approved multifamily or timeshare units planned by Hilton Grand Vacations. It will also offer 25 single-family residential lots fronting the reconfigured golf complex. • Area B will include 900 multifamily timeshare residential units, the new golf course and driving range, three acres of new public parks and walking paths, and various community support facilities.
