Length 7007 yards

Rating 73.5

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.

Ok, but not the best course around

Royal Kunia is a decently maintained course with a reasonable difficulty level. Two of the par 5s are challenging and the other 2 give the long golfer some eagle opportunities. The par 4s are for the most part, doglegs either right or left with enough traps, gullies and water hazards to make them challenging. Depending on what day you play, the greens may or may not be very well maintained, with numerous ball marks after the weekend typical.

Course amenities is where Kunia suffers. There is a "temporary" club house with a small restaurant in basically a shed/mobile home configuration. The driving and practice putting area are a fair distance from the club house and are generally only accessible by golf cart.

Pricing however, is as high or higher than surrounding courses with full club houses, GPS on carts, drink service on course and other amenities Kunia does not have. Much better value for your money elsewhere, but if nothing else is available, a decent enough course, just don't expect it to be very nice at the clubhouse.

A very enjoyable course.

I found this course to be very enjoyable, especially for vacation play. The fairways are wide and well maintained. There is not too much rough to lose your ball in. There are a number of greenside and fairway bunkers to catch your ball if your not hitting your shots straight.

The course is very scenic and I love the look of the red sand bunkers with the green fairways.

The staff are very friendly and the views from the course looking out to Pearl Harbour and Diamond Head are great.

We'll definitely be back, next time were on Oahu.
