Course Highlights
Olomana Golf Links features a thoughtfully designed layout with interesting holes set against stunning mountain views. The staff delivers genuine aloha hospitality, consistently earning top marks for friendliness from recent visitors.

Olomana Golf Links features an interesting layout that consists of two distinctly different nines, but both are equally challenging. Although it is a relatively short golf course, the many formidable challenges will keep golfers on their toes. The front nine is relatively flat with water hazards on every hole, while the back nine has irregular, rolling hills that are dotted with strategically placed sand bunkers. Prevailing trade winds are also always a factor on the golf course. The signature hole is the par-3 eighth, which features a semi-island green that is well protected by sand bunkers and coconut trees. In addition to the interesting layout, Olomana Golf Links also offers scenic views of the Ko’olau Mountain Range. The course has become a favorite among Oahu locals.

Olomana

Got a good deal on hot deals. I hadn't been to this course before, an thought I'd give it a try. Friendly staff. Unfortunately, a major rain early morning had a few of the back nine to wet to play well. But overall, loved the pace of play. No back up, or push. Most fairways well kept. Greens average.

Good course great potential...

We played our round on a cloudy/rainy day with a little wind and the course was not in the best shape, it held a HS state golf tournament the day before.

That said, the course played real nice, great holes and layout. Some really fun and challenging holes. Would recommend a golf cart for your round, especially on the hilly back 9. Awesome views and scenery all around. Very friendly staff.

Would recommend it for anyone looking to play a nice course at a good price!

Slow play behind league

This course is on the wet side of the island so it's normally cart path only. I caught up to the group in front of me by the 5th hole. It was a league that plays there regularly and they play 3 groups of 6! It was impossible to pass this group who played like they were the only ones on the course. It may have been more appropriate to let the other golfers out on the back nine first. Anyway the course was nice even though it took more than six hours to complete behind the league.

Olomana Golf Links, a local favorite

Tourists staying in posh hotels won't dig the charms of Olomana.
It's a locals hangout because of its affordable tee times. In full disclosure, I haven't played Olomana since my first trip to Oahu way back in 1997, but I did stop in to take pictures and tour the course in 2013.
It was just as I remembered it. A Low-key vibe. A little scruffy. Overall, some nice hills and solid holes.
A 13-year-old phenom named Michelle Wie learned to play at Olomana, which is located on the windward side of the Ko'olau Mountains about 35 minutes from Waikiki. President Obama has played there a time or two as well.
The CEO of Pacific Links International, the new owner of Olomana, promised me that upgrades will eventually happen. Olomana could use a little TLC to unlock its potential.

sixsomes no good

I was fine. I like the course the people are friendly and things were moving smoothly till the tenth hole. the sixsome had just let a twosome go through so when I showed up behind them they were in no hurry to let me through. seriously at a par three they did not let me pass. not good.

COURSE WAS NOT IN THE BEST CONDITION

BECAUSE OF RAINS A FEW DAYS BEFORE, 2 HOLES WERE UNPLAYABLE AND TURNED INTO PAR 3'S. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO OFFER A RAIN CHECK OR DISCOUNT.

NOT HAPPY WITH MY ROUND FOR THE PRICE WE PAID!

Beautiful mountain views

Olomana is a pretty good golf experience. The course is not too hard, great variations in terrain, friendly staff, and has beautiful mountain views. Some of the course is a little rough, but with the beautiful views I give it 4 stars.

They need a marshall patrolling the course

Pace of play was a big issue, and there was no marshall to try and speed things up. At one point 4 teenagers just jumped in front of us with only one bag between them all. I did notice on their website that they allow 6-somes so that could contribute to slow play as well. There are some nice views of the mountain range bisecting the southern tip of Oahu. We saw a few wild pigs on the course also.

Fairways need work!

Best thing that i can say is that the staff was very pleasant and helpful. The course needs some attention. water hazards were empty, sand traps were in poor shape as well. My biggest issue is with the fairways, they were rock hard and full of potholes. Nothing worse than hitting a great shot down the fairway and finding your ball in a pothole that is on ground that is hard as concrete.

Quite easy layout. Fairways need better maintenance

Group in front held up all groups behind them. No one three holes in front of them. No course marshal came out until 16th hole. We were hooked on to them at every tee...timed them at 8 minutes for their fivesome to tee off on most holes.

The fairway is too bumpy and had some bare ground spots.

The golfnow.com showed that the tax was included, but the course charged the tax for $33. ???

Best Value on Oahu

I wanted to play a practice round before I played at Ko'Olau and Royal Hawaiian, so I came here first. I wasn't expecting much because of the lower price, but I was quite impressed. It's a really fun "Hawaiian Links" type course, with some really pretty views of the Ko'Olau mountain range. I was able to play a round of golf with free transportation from Waikiki through HiGolfGuide for under $100. It's not the greatest course in Hawaii, but it's a great value for the price. The best option for those on a budget, and perfect for the less experienced golfer. I'd play here again.

Lots of water down the sides of the fairways on the front 9

The course was in pretty good condition. The fairways were nice and green. The greens need to be cut as the grass was to long.
