Messina Director Michelle Malia Hiraishi Deputy Director The Department of Parks and Recreation announces the start of the County's West Hawaii Golf Subsidy program on January 3 of 2022. Under this program, County subsidized golf opportunities are offered at Waikoloa Village Golf Course and Makalei Golf Club through June 30. All residents of the County of Hawaii are eligible for golf rounds at reduced rates. Hawaii County residents qualify to play an 18-hole round of golf, inclusive of golf cart usage, for $40; residents 60 years of age or older are eligible for the same privilege at $35 ("Senior" rate). Residents under the age of 18 will pay $20 ("Junior" rate).
