About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7007 yards
Slope 132
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.

Greens had bee aeratored and were not as good as they look like can be. Yardage markers mostly unable to read. my Golfpass app was not working so was pretty much guessing on most shots. Views were awesome .Snack bar was not open .

Great views

The problem I had was with you, Tee Off. The course was punched and you didn't tell me that. Also the savings I got by using you was ZERO! and quoted price was even higher since there was a local in our group.. Another Oahu course you have listed is even at a higher price than we paid at it, you have lost my trust.

Pace of Play

Course was in good shape. Traps need some attention. I did see a Ranger from time to time, but did not see any activity to keep players moving along. Was not able to complete my round due to slow play. Would like to see more attention to keeping players on pace.

Slow play

They alternated twosomes and foursome groupings. Very slow especially because we had a foursome that was allowed out with only three bags in front of us. No rangers to monitor.

My new favorite course on the island

Good layout on a great piece of land for golf with good views. Don’t judge it from the vibe you get when you pull in and see the tired looking trailer clubhouse. Excellent course conditions all around. Course drains well and played somewhat firm despite recent rains. Greens look like they had a verticut done a couple weeks ago but putted fine. Maintenance staff were courteous and would move aside or wave me up when I caught up with them.

Only negative was the old gas cart was noisy and chuggy with a non functioning parking brake, so I had to steer it into hills or curbs to keep it from rolling away when parked.

Not cheap for tourists like me, but I enjoyed it enough that I would definitely come back.

Slow play, bumpy slow greens

They interspersed twosums and foursums. They let out golfers without their own bag of clubs. No rangers 5 hr round of golf! Greens were very slow snd bumpy.

Nice course with a few challenging holes

One of the better public courses. A bit on the pricey side and sometimes the pace of play is slow.
