Royal Hawaiian Golf Club

I mean there were some fairway that were patchy along with greens but I am not sure there are better views for a golf course on this earth and for that alone it will always be worth it to play Royal Hawaiian

My three friends and I were supposed to play Saturday morning. We were all fired up. ( No pun intended) As we pulled up Saturday morning, we noticed a Honolulu Firefighter there. I didn't realize who he was at first so I had asked him where I could park. He told me the course was closed due to all the golf carts burning up a couple nights prior. We drove from Waikiki and were given this disappointing news. NO EMAIL, NO PHONE CALL, NO nothing to give us a heads up of what happened. TRULY DISAPPOINTING

Drove 50 mins to play here and right at the moment before card swipe to pay, the pro shop mentioned punch greens. With some warning I could have save my time

And go somewhere else.

Great scenery and good course.

Amazing view but the most difficult golf ⛳ course.

You need to prepare many extra balls

Don’t miss a chance to play this ridiculously wonderful Jurassic Park course. Bring a basket of balls and enjoy the “Easter egg hunt” while you look for your errant hit. The staff is great, the layout is crazy and the laughs are plentiful. Put it on your bucket list.

Most amazing views I’ve ever seen on a course. Super tough target golf. Bring extra balls if you’re left or right of center your ball is gone.

This is by far the most picturesque golf course I've ever played. Every hole has breath taking views that make you forget where you are as you stare in wonder.

The course is exceptionally challenging if you don't hit it straight. Bring extra balls. The layout is cut out of jungle and the mountainside.

Bring a camera!!! Take pictures. Enjoy the incredible scenery!!!

I played for the 1st time on vacation this week. Fortunately I had a very good driving round. I can say that if you struggle off the tee, bring a lot of balls! Beautiful course I’m returning tomorrow for a 2nd round. I booked 6:40 both days (first tee time), and played as a single - loved it! 2:40 min and greens crew moved aside to let me play through. The staff was outstanding and very friendly from check in at pro shop to starter! Great job, Mahalo!

Overall amazing golf course with incredible views. Wished there was a cart girl or more refreshments available during my round but hard to complain on such a beautiful course. Definitely recommend if you are vacationing in the area.

Recent ratings made us skeptical of the conditions but we found them to be better than expected. The front 9 is extremely challenging but is one of the coolest layouts you’ll ever experience. The back 9 offers some cool views as well but is much more manageable for a novice/beginner.

Like all the reviews state, you’ll need plenty of balls. The staff were tremendous. Greens were fast but not impossible. We were paired with a solo who was playing rentals. The rental sets are Qi10 irons /driver/hybrid. The front 9 is cart path only so it does make for a slightly longer than normal round but we finished in 4:20.

TLDR: if you have the opportunity, this course is definitely worth it.

Beautiful scenery. First time playing the course, little disappointed on the front 9, cart path only, tight course with a lot of blind spots making it difficult to find your ball in the higher grass.

Back 9 much better, open cart path made it easier to play.

Definitely worth playing once…..

We would not play again until the greens are fixed (speed was too slow and pitch marks were awful) The fairways need to be in better shape, unfortunately we were disappointed with course conditions.

THE most unusual course I have ever played. I felt like I was a participant in a board game within a jungle, with a crazy challenge in store for me around the next approaching tee box. Definitely not a walking course as tee boxes are far apart from each other. Go for the adventure and immerse yourself with the exotic surrounds

This course was amazing. Photo’s on every Hole. The only thing I can say. Bathroom on the course did not have water. No driving range. No cart girl.

Absolutely stunning, we were waiting on a velociraptor to come out of the jungle and eat us! The course was out of this world and the staff was great! Expect to take a little longer to play a round because you simply don’t want to rush this!
