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.

Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head are in the far distance. Photo submitted by u000003890177 on 09/20/2012
Quite and awemazing course. Strongly recommend.
Don’t pay for late fee times
Nice course, but it’s be nice if they told you that you’re paying for nine holes. Carts have to be returned at 5:40. I didn’t know this when I booked my 3:12 tee time that went out at 3:20. $74 for nine holes is not worth it.
Epic layout - poorly maintained
What an interesting shot makers course, sadly let down by the poor conditions, particularly bunkers and tee boxes. Greens were passable although slow. Absolutely spectacular views and backdrops. Go here for a fun round, it’s not for the the most serious golfer but the surroundings are something incredible.
Golf in Jurassic park.
It’s simply a “one of a kind “ golf course. It’s just beautiful, but be sure to bring extra balls. This course swallows golf balls like no other course. I have played a lot of courses and this has to be in my top 3.
Hawaii Golden Gem
Staff was excellent as always. Even w technical electronic issues this morning. Roy still managed the course without delay. Walter came in today to assist as well. Staff always on point and course layout for beautiful morning session was as expected. Spectacular golf putting like the last.
Mahalo.

Beautiful course but challenging
The area is spectacular and the course in good shape. It’s actually not a long course but if you play the forwards and hit a long ball you are often in trouble. The landing areas can be narrow or rolling hills with a cart path or bunker hidden. If you hit cart path your ball is lost in the bush. Course was under renovation so after paying a high rate we found out hole 17 was shut down, no driving range available and no restaurant. Even the snack shack was closed leaving us with the pro shop to grab a canned drink. Hopefully course amenities will be renovated to match the beautiful scenery
Stunning
Just an awesome experience playing here. The course is challenging and beautiful.
Thank goodness the greens are a little slow or you would never finish
A big thank you to the staff for their friendliness and helpfulness. Could not have been nicer
I’ll be playing this course when I get back here.
My new favorite course
Unreal layout in the middle of the jungle. The views get better and better each hole. Unbeatable deal for the price (hot deal non-resident). I’ve played some pretty nice courses with good views but this was completely unique. Starter was friendly and had me start on the back so I would be able to finish in time (carts must be in by 6pm). A challenging course with many intimidating tee shots. Expect to lose some balls and to walk to your ball from the cart path. Can’t wait to play here again!
It’s a jungle out there
Beautiful golf course but don’t take your eyes off the ball , you need to hit it well and straight or you kissed it goodbye the greens are well keep and the fairways like we are walking on carpet
No houses , no ducks pooping, no snakes only green and more greens
Great job guys !
Mahalo !
beautiful challenging course
Great course, beautiful views and very challenging -
However, no cooler nor water provided, staff so so , did not warn us that course for cart path only..
Beautiful course!
It's a beauty and a beast. Sooo many fantastic views! The best green fee I've probably ever spent (resident rate). Will definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family when they visit.
Beautiful and VERY challenging!
Definitely need to hit straight and bring comfortable shoes. You WILL be walking a lot! Up and down hills but you can’t beat the views! Raised fairways and obstacles even on the par 3’s!
Jungle/Jurassic park golf course
Definitely worth a visit to play this course. Random rain showers and some spots are muddy. Also the front 9 is the “jungle” and gets more open in the back 9. Prepare lots of balls…
Gorgeous Layout - Lacking Amenities
This is, without a doubt, the most beautiful setting for a golf course. It is also the hardest course I have ever played
Maybe I should have them a break due to Covid, but they are still charging a premium to play there, so no.
No driving range. How can they close this on such a difficult course? I can’t be the only golfer who likes to warm up
No complementary bottle of water. Play at Turtle Bay or Ko Olina and your get an ice chest with a bottle of water
No hospitality service on the course.
Overly restrictive cart rules. They might as well say the course is cart path only. We could rarely drive to our ball
Oh yeah, bring a lot of balls!
