Royal Hawaiian Golf Club

Great challenge, loved the course! Front nine greens need quite a bit of work. That said, really glad I made the trip to play here!

This is one of the most unique and challenging courses out there. Unfortunately, the greens and course as a whole were not in great shape. For $330 for a couple, it’s a disappointing result. I would have expected the course to be in much better shape given the fees, but an amazing lifetime experience.

UNBELIEVABLE course! Sooo cool, picturesque and beyond challenging! Wife and I are just hackers, but wanted a unique experience of golf while in Hawaii and this course completely delivered! Picturesque back drops and awesome elevation changes with excellent jungle rides on the way to each hole with some 2 minutes long! Loved it and if you are on Oahu and even mildly play golf....do this course! Bring plenty of balls....started with 72 between the 2 of us and with finding a few along the way we still left with 32! ;) A MUST PLAY for the EXPERIENCE....not the Score! Aptly nicknamed Jurassic Park!

We had been told by one person that Royal Hawaiian was their favorite course to play. When we arrived we were informed that due to the recent rain the front nine was cart path only. Also due to construction the bathrooms on the front nine were closed. the fairways and greens were patchy and in poor condition. The front nine layout features many blind carries, the greens were not receptive to good approaches. Due to the beautifully lush plants any errant shots left players digging for another ball to put in play. The back nine was more forgiving.

Scenic, tough and the rain forest was awesome!

Tough course for 1st time playing, wet conditions and cart path only made for a long day to get around, buyer beware I was told afterwards its always cart path only because of the wet conditions and the real estate you have to travel between holes makes its impossible to walk. The catch is 1st time players wont know this and accept the cart path only situation, they have no choice. When we return we will not play here, one and done.

Horrible customer service….entitled staff, power trip

This is my favorite inland course. Located in Oahu’s tropical rain forest, it is like golfing in Jurassic Park. I’m an average golfer, usually loose a few balls, but the scenery is so amazing and the course so challenging it’s worth it.

Its pretty mountain courses.

Difficult to see, can not see greens from tee

Up and down was tough

Course wasn't the most maintained course on Oahu but certainly the most challenging and beautiful on the island. Like playing in Jurassic Park. An incredible experience for all golf levels.

Will definitely play it again!

Pace of play suffers because it’s absolutely stunning.

This course was somewhat challenging

Difficult to make games. Pretty much hilly

and diffcult to controll

This is a challenging round of golf. The definition of target golf. You might only need your driver on a handful of holes.

The front is straight out of Jurassic Park. After the first hole you take a 4 minute card ride down through the rainforest to hole two. This unlike any course you will play in the US, cut I to the rainforest. You better hit fairways. Off the fairway and it is most likely a lost ball. I used driver on most holes. Hey, I brought it, I’m going to use it. Prob should have used 4 or 5 iron, lol. Having said that, I lost a bunch of balls.

The back opens up more but still stunning views.

The only negatives were that greens were not in great shape and the practice range is no longer available since Covid(20). Apparently the jungle took over the range during Covid and they never got it going again.

A very fun golf experience. Two thumbs up!

The course is amazing in terms of the views on every hole. Couse layout is challenging and requires precise shot making if you want to score well. Staff was great and pace of play was good as we played mid-day on a Wednesday in Feb. In terms of golf course condition, many greens were rough and the tee boxes also rough and pretty weedy. But those issues were minor when you consider the price and the fabulous scenery.
