Royal Kunia Country Club
About
Royal Kunia Country Club boasts a reputation as one of the best and most scenic golf courses on Oahu. The course is perched high above the Ewa plain, offering panoramic views of the entire South Shore, stretching from Pearl Harbor to the downtown skyline of Honolulu to the famed Diamond Head. The layout rolls across a gently undulating landscape, offering a diverse layout of short par 4s and demanding par 5s. Water comes into play on a few holes and there are strategically placed bunkers throughout. Its coastal location guarantees that wind will be a factor in determining your outcome. The signature hole comes exactly midway through the course. Royal Kunia Country Club's par-5 ninth requires three strong shots that avoid the numerous troubles from tee to green including bunkers, trees, water, and of course, wind.

Great Views
Enjoyed playing this course. The course is very maintained. Difficult enough to make you come back for more. Great views from many holes.
Really like this course
The course was in awesome shape for all the rain we have had during the past entire week. It wasn't even cart path only. We had an excellent round. I only wish there were more Oahu courses paired up with Golf Now.
Go for the Views & the Value
Played at a "Hot Deal" rate which made it a terrific value for Hawaii. Its a nice course in good condition but the views of Honolulu & Pearl Harbor make this a memorable experience.
Good time
This is a fun course. Fairways are wide and greens are large. Only a couple places was the condition less than very good. I and my wife played as a two-some which we liked. The pace of play would have gotten 5 stars except after 5 holes we caught up with a five-some after which we waited on every shot. But, we allocated the afternoon for fun on the golf course and still finished in under 4 hours. Staff was friendly but be aware they 'require' collared shirts for both men and women. My wife had on a nice top but no collar. After some discussion she was granted a 'waiver' for the day. There was no beverage cart but a there is a snack shack at the start and turn. For under a hundred bucks for the two of us it was a good deal. We had a great afternoon.
Beautiful greens.
This course is fun and challenging, friendly staff and beautiful greens makes whole experience almost perfect. I enjoined playing here.
Fun Course
This course is golfer friendly with excellent course conditions and great views of Honolulu and the Koolau Mountains.
Saturday in Hawaii
The price was awesome for weekend golf in Hawaii. The course was perfect and the staff was helpful as always. Only thing is tye pace of played slowed a little at the turn and the snack shop didnt have many of the items on the menu due to low staff. Remember to print your receipt and bring it to the pro shop at check in.
Warning. Bad policy
When we arrived at our time chosen online by GolfNow, we were told that they would not honor the $55.00/person charge that we got online. They said because we did not pay the entire amount online before getting there, they could charge us the regular rate of $65.00/person. This is very misleading. IF the course does not honor the price advertised on GolfNow, I see NO reason to use GolfNow anymore!
Nice track but treated poorly by staff
The woman who runs the pro shop treated us like we were second class citizens. I think she has a problem with the times used by GolfNow and she basically treated us poorly. I play this course sometimes using normal call in tee times but no more. If she has a problem with GolfNow, deal with GolfNow, do take it out on the users of GolfNow.
Just Right
This course is just right for the mid-level amateur. Just enough length, just enough challenges (rough, OB area, trees, water,etc), and a beautiful view to top off a great round of golf. The normally hot course was cooled off by an overcast sky so yeah, we had a great day!
Mother's Day/Husbands Birthday
We have now played several times at this course. The first time I booked the course would not honor the reservation the following two times the staff was less than friendly, yesterday all staff was super friendly and made my Mothers Day perfect.
LOVE THIS COURSE
Very friendly Staff and beautiful course! It was very challenging for me personally because I am a fairly new golfer. I am very pleased with this Golf Course and will recommend it to all my family and friends.
Course
Great views of Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. Bunkers and traps don't have much sand. Greens are fast and multileveled. Pin placement challenging on many
Great shape all around
Royal Kunia is one of my favorite courses because it is in such great shape and for some reason, I play relatively well out there. We did have some passing showers but then it cleared up and the rest of the round was perfect. I would recommend that course highly to anyone except a total beginner.
The Royal? Kunia
The clubhouse is a T-111 box. Not so royal. The staff is nice and helpful. the cart are kinda ghetto. Think old gas powered from the muni course. The course itself is pretty good. Distance markers are kinda spotty.( No GPS in carts). The tee boxes and greens were quite good. Not too bad if you get a deal
wonderful driving
nice weather, good condition, good lay out, no delay
totally goooood
JJ
Short course, scenic view of Pearl Harbor, downtown Honolulu and diamond head. Course layout perfect for a draw and few holes where you can go for the green. Need some work on the sand traps, hardly any sand.
Friendly and Helpful Staff
We always enjoy playing this course when we come to Hawaii. Fortunately I was able to get an excellent rate online that allowed us to play. We arrived early and the staff was considerate enough to allow us to tee off earlier. One of the
best courses in Oahu.
A fair challenge with a nice view of Honolulu.
With the special price I got from Golfnow.com, I thought the value was pretty good. I would not have played there otherwise. The course was enjoyable even if the greens were a little slow but would have been really difficult if it was fast because of the undulations. I haven't played there in years and was surprised I enjoyed it so much. Will look for more specials on this course.
