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.

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.

Not long but challenging

This course touts itself as "links-style". What this mainly means is the fairways have a lot of undulations. Go slow with the cart or your "okole" will bounce off the seat. You will have difficult lies. Front nine has more water hazards; back nine much more hilly. Course tends to flood in heavy rains. Some fairways lack grass. Greens can be inconsistent at times. Overall beautiful, relaxed setting. On clear days the Koolaus are absolutely beautiful, especially with the morning sun.

Fun Course

This north side of Oahu course is a fun course that tests you when the Trade winds are blowing. On a calm day, it's relatively easy. On a windy 20 MPH day, the 1st, 2nd, 7th and 11th holes can be real challenges. The greens are always nice and maintained very well. THey have just enough water and trees to keep you focused on where is this shot going so I can make my next approach. Some traps have a good sand base, bit a few are like hitting off concrete with a thin sand layer. These are a real test.
Food and beverage in the restaurant are pretty good. Their club sandwich seems to be the best buy.

On the fence with this course

This is course is good value for Hawaii residents. As a visitor I couldn't imagine paying regular rack rate. My only knock on this course is that they pack on the tee times and they allow 6-somes, creating a severely congested golf course in most situations. This particular time we were completely surprised and finished in 3.5 hours only because we got out before all the big groups. At one of the turns we saw for golf carts and an 8-some!

Another time we played it took an hour to finish one hole. The first tee was stacked 6 deep. We left and played another nearby course.

Overall, the course as a golf course is a fun one but, the way it is operated is very poor. If you book a tee time here expect a much longer than normal round time.

2 different 9's

Very fun course! Front is moderately flat with 3 par 5's. Back is challenging with rolling hills. Dog legs, ditches and OB make for a fun course. Great view from the back especially. Staff was very friendly and knowledgable. Pretty good restaurant for after golf activities. (beers and burgers)

Course is well maintained. We played after a ton of rain and the course was still in great shape.

Relatively easy, not in great condition.

This could be a good course because of the layout and the interesting holes, but much more attention will have to be paid to maintenance etc. Fairways are not good; greens are OK. It was slow the day we played.

This course is average for a muni

I play this course every weekend because of the convenience, the staff is friendly and the casual attitude is nice. But, they have new ownership and the prices have gone up. If they are going to raise the prices they need to do a lot of work on the fairways. The fairways are riddled with holes and uneven play, and sparse grass. You'll need to move your ball to grass on almost every shot... The layout is nice and the views are great of the Pali Mountains. The prices are now equal to other very we'll maintained courses on Oahu. This course needs work....I would rate it just below average....

Not worth the green fee.

Half of the golf course was flooded and the bad smell of stagnant water, golf carts were in bad shape.
