Royal Hawaiian Golf Club

Wifey and I golfed this bad boy on a Tuesday morning. Loved it, recently golfed at the Royal Hawaiian in Ohua, which prepared me for different contours in the Hawaii ecosystem. We had great views, on every home, a must play, greens were superb. Big ups to the ground keepers, I’m from Texas yo, you cats need a raise, facts, too good. Play this course, when you visit the Bug Island.

I have played the Royal Hawaiian golf club several times. Up until now, it had been my favorite golf destination in Hawaii. The course used to be in excellent shape. This time, the tee boxes and fairways were in poor shape. The greens had been punched and sanded. Golfnow didn't mention that when I booked the round. We were very annoyed to pay the outrageous tourist rate for a course with punched greens. I still love the layout and the lush rain forest setting. Based on what they charge, we expect the course to be in better shape.

I played this course long ago and have not played it for 15 years. Not my favorite layout. It is beautiful to see but not all that great to play due to the target golf aspects. I will play it occasionally but the course will not be in my normal rotation. Pace of play was a bit slow because the groups in front lost a lot of balls. This course would be frustrating to anybody that is not extremely straight. Long hitters get penalized - I only hit 2 drivers all day. Typical Pete Dye layout.

Very Difficult and challenging courses , but they were so so beautiful courses ! I had such fun a lot !

You should bring a lot of balls, if you never play there .

I lost a lot of balls ....

Very challenging. Great course design. Unbeatable Mountain View. Feels like you are playing golf in a tropical botanic garden. Just don’t play the course in a rainy day since it will be really muddy.

Don’t need to bring your driver to this course. Accuracy trumps distance. Be preparers to lose several balls at least

Great layout beautiful lush course. Slow player infront of us searching for balls in every hole.

Course has outstanding layout. The drive from 1st green to 2nd tee takes about 4 minutes through a jungle. Same for drive to 9th tee. Very narrow course, and anything off fairways is usually a lost ball. Well worth the money. A definite most play course.

Breath taking views on every single hole!! They didn’t have golf towels or club cover accessories, and the front nine is still laughing at me....! However, after the initial grumpy golf through the front nine the glorious back nine appeared and delivered the welcoming spirit!!

It was windy this day but it was Stunning nonetheless!

By far, the most memorable course I’ve played to date solely due the incredible scenery! You find yourself getting lost in the views and forgetting that it’s a golf course you just payed to play! Next time I’ll play as golfer and not a bird watcher! The course is NOT the best maintained course at all, so don’t expect pristine course conditions, however the staff was excellent and the experience was great!

The views were stunning. The layout was challenging but so fun. The staff were very friendly. I’ve read some comments about wet conditions but this was not my experience... conditions were perfect. I’ll never forget this one.

Beautiful course, extreamly unique and you will have an amazing time, every hole is worth taking a picture of. Be prepared to lose a ton of balls played with a 20+ and 5 handicap and for sure be ready to lose 8-10, but it’s well worth it!
