Volcano Golf Course, HI

Volcano Golf Course is a Hawaii County census-designated place with 363 residents in the 2020 census, directly north of Kīlauea and immediately south of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. It is its own named place, distinct from the neighboring Volcano CDP, which had 736 residents in 2020. The local landmark is an 18-hole course at about 4,000 feet, set beside ʻōhiʻa forest and the volcanic landscape around Kīlauea. The course sits about a mile from the national park and offers a public practice range as well as regular play, with Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea visible from the property.

The course is part of Kamehameha Schools' lands, so the golf setting also connects to a larger Hawaiian institution. The nearby park and Volcano village supply the larger network of roads, trails, services, and visitor facilities around this tiny community. The key local detail is the boundary: when people say Volcano, they may mean the broader rainforest settlement, while Volcano Golf Course is the smaller census place organized around the course and the Kīlauea edge.
