Royal Hawaiian Golf Club
About
Nestled at the base of the Ko'olau Mountains in Oahu, Royal Hawaiian Golf Club enjoys a stunning tropical setting framed by ancient jungle trees that climb to more than 100 feet tall. The father-and-son team of Pete and Perry Dye designed the course. There are many telltale signs that this is a Dye course, from the many elevation changes to the varied bunker styles that are utilized throughout. The round begins with stunning views as you plunge downhill into the Maunawili Valley. There are more trees and narrower fairways on the front nine, contrasting nicely with the wide-open back nine. Royal Hawaiian Golf Club's back plays towards the mouth of the valley, offering a view of the mountains and sparkling blue Pacific waters in the distance. It's not an overly punishing golf course but locals and visitors alike have called it the toughest and most scenic course you'll find on Oahu.

Golfer Reviews
KS Duffer in HI
Must do for bucket list. U will need balls, went thru 8 for net loss. Jurassic Parklike setting. Front 9 cartpath only causes lots of walking. 2 holes out of service played 17 and 18 twice as course not busy in afternnon. Dry conditions more pleasurable for sure could misery if playing muddy conditions. Worth the lost balls simply for the view and surroundings, Off the bucket list now. If busy it will be slow play all good and fast for my day.
Jungle Golf
Rather disappointed was expecting a beautiful conditioned course for $150+
I love Pete Dye courses and this won't let you down but.... the course conditions on the front nine was horrible. Little grass on the tee decks, fairways firm but little grass and the money maker... greens where horrible. Back nine totally different conditions much better as greens were puttable and grass on tee decks and fairways. Rough on both sides need mowing and rake traps!
Scenery is incredible. I would love to play this again in top shape but don't see it happening yes its the end of rainy season as pro shop says but as an assistant superintendent back home hard to see it such a shame.
Don't pay full rack rate at this time or you'll be disappointed.
Love this place!
Played here last when called Luana Hills. Definitely challenging and you have to be on your B or A game. Just don't over swing. Reasonably short course. I am a boogie golfer and had a few blowup holes but had a few pars and a birdie. So a good score is doable.
Beautiful
Course was a little muddy with all the rain but the views were breath taking. Do not miss out on a chance to golf here in any conditions.
Gorgeous course!
This course is breathtaking beautiful and a true challenge for your golf game! There’s not a single hole that has an adjacent fairway, with each hole surrounded by lush forest and sweeping views of the mountains. I’ll be back for sure!
Amazing scenery, course borderline unplayable
Once in a lifetime experience to golf in the rain forest but the course for the most part is unplayable, especially the front nine. Fairways are all mud, tee boxes are more of the same. Conditions and poor maintenance make it unplayable in many areas and holes were even closed. The drive through the course is incredible but the golf course itself is a mess.
Great layout and scenery but …..
A great layout, requiring targeted shots The jungle like scenery was also interesting. That’s really where this review stops. The fairways lacked any consistent grass. Lots of bare spots. The rough was generally a collection of what appeared to be various weeds of all lengths The greens were average at best with bare and /or sandy spots. All in all disappointing. With some commitment to improving course conditions this has the potential to be a great track. Not worth the discounted GN rate.
