Royal Hawaiian Golf Club

Typical Dye course with plenty of elevation change and not many flat lies. The mountain and jungle views are excellent and the course presents you with a lot of interesting shots, including plenty of can-I-get-over-the-x sorts of positions. A lot of fun and not to be missed if you're visiting. Great facilities and service, too. This is probably the all-around best course I've played on Oahu.

First off this course is gorgeous with amazing views and hole setups. The YouTube video on this course doesn't do it justice. Very challenging course, but not overwhelming. If you aim for the 150 stick every time you will be fine. First time playing this course and only shot a few strokes over par while doing that gameplan. Take lots of pictures and you MUST play this course if you visit Oahu.

This golf course is so breath taking you could just drive around eighteen holes and not hit a golf ball and feel like you got your money's worth. Somewhat challenging but well maintained and worth every penny we spent to play here. Loved this golf course and the staff.

The practice facility had no balls and the greens were sandy. The food was very poor and the customer service was poor. All of the greens were in horrible condition and sandy . It was nearly impossible to putt accurately. The scenery was beautiful, but the conditions took away feom the experience. Anything this price should be in pristine conditions

Fabulous course with all the challenges golf has to offer. The people working there were absolutely professional & cordial - they were actually both from Seattle. Course forces the golfer to put premium on keeping the ball in play primarily.

This property is awesome and the views spectacular, but I paid 155.00 dollars for 30.00 dollar round the greens are the worst I have ever played on the 8th hole was closed I'm not sure how there still open.

Got a great deal thru golfnow. Which was fortunate as the 'regular' rate would have been very over priced. Very tight course. Played from the tips and didn't hit a single driver. 8th hole was closed so an extra par 3 was used. Lots of up/down and blind shots which I'm not keen on but if you like that kind of challenge... Course conditions were ok. Greens and fairways could both use some TLC but not bad overall. Staff was very friendly.

The staff was very friendly and gave us suggestions on how to play the course which were very helpful. The course has amazing views, right out of the Jurassic Park movie. Even if you lose a lot of balls the scenery makes it worth it. The course is impossible if you don't hit your drives in play, especially on the front side, this is not a resort course! I read that this course and nearby Ko'olau suggest 1 golf ball for each stroke in your handicap. A low handicap player will not lose many balls but players who cannot not hit it straight of the tee will lose a lot of balls. The landing areas are tight areas but not unfair. The course was soft from the rains etc, so it was a little forgiving. Greens were a little slow but rolled smooth. Fairways were good throughout the course. Some rough areas on a couple of greens probably due to too much moisture. This will be the first course I will play when I come back to Oahu.

It is a great and difficult course. Front nine is in forest and narrow. Many blind shot. Back nine is open and on the hill. Quite different flavor. Condition is good. All Par3 are impressive.

My friend and I have been waiting 2 years to play this course as it was not available when we were here last time. We were not disappointed . It isn't overly long (we played off the blue tees) but you must know your yardage and be able to hit straight. It is not for the" hacker". I am a single figure golfer and lost 4 balls. Bloody hooks!! Although one was a miss reading of the yardage on the card,stupid mistake by me. My friend lost 9. But they give 6 for free. It was the most picturesque course I have played and a must for any good golfer. You MUST have a cart.Too far between green and tee to walk.
A great course

Views are amazing. Holes are challenging. Birdies to be made as well as triple bogies. All is good because just look up and around.

I like this course challenge and well maintained. Great view, too

Tough but in really good shape when I played. Nice forest like course, somewhat different than the other courses on the island

Simply the most spectacularly scenic and challenging golf course you will ever find.

Beautiful scenery and nice course to play in. Easy drive from downtown Honolulu using the freeway.
Challenging enough to keep you wanting to try the course again which we probably will when we return.
My wife just started the game for a year andshe still enjoyed the course.

I was real disappointed on the condition of the greens. At first I thought that maybe they were on the greens, but later to find out that all the greens were diseased and dressed with sand. When I made the turn, I told the Pro shop employee that they should have mentioned the condition of the course and his response was that he played 18 yesterday and it was good! I responded "For Real"! I would not endorse this course to any of my fellow golfers, if you don's believe me, take a short trip to #10 close to the club house and you will understand my disappointment.

This is the most beautiful and challenging course I have ever played. Fantastic views, difficult elevations and trouble everywhere. Bring extra balls and a camera, playing here every day I can during my stay. A MUST PLAY course!

Nice course. Conditions were very wet due to all the rain they had so cart path only. I really enjoyed the layout of the course only wished had not been so wet. I would recommend playing.

front 9 was closed, aerated/sanded greens/overall mud hole-it would be great course when it dries out.

A fabulous golf course in what is, literally, a stunning setting. Despite an unusually rainy winter, this great layout is very well-maintained. The Dyes have carved a great course from the tropical forest and utilized dramatic elevation changes on a number of holes. In a period of better weather, it is easy to imagine the course conditions being pristine. While not for the faint-of-heart golfer, i would highly recommend Royal Hawaiian to any golfer up for a challenge and appreciative of some of the most stunning views to be found on a golf course anywhere !
