Royal Hawaiian Golf Club

Royal Hawaiian golf club is awesome , such as pairway and course fun but they need maintain about golf greens because sometime i got so slowly greens but if you want very impressive golf course you must be go to the Royal Hawaiian and I feel a shudder from Royal Hawaiian golf course. it was amazing view...

In the past this course was bordering on the ridiculous,novelty course, where in the course because of the terrain made it very challenging but added to that the uncut rough and cart paths made a arduous task. But that has all changed new cart paths, manicured fairways and green, new practice areas which was only recently built. Very pleasant day of golf lots of fun.

Course is being upgraded. Outstanding views of the mountains - fairways are great - greens - some need to be better. Very enjoyable round - no rushing - nice pace.
This will be a premier course within the year.

Suggest to anyone looking for an experience and the beauty of Hawaii all around. Plenty of target golf play.

unfortunately when I played this course, it was rainy and a little mushy. very understandable, due to the rain. However the greens were in bad condition - especially the 10th green. It was patched up and had gouges and marks all over it. One of the workers apologized for the greens before we teed off, so I wasn't totally surprised, but it was not very impressive for my guest who was expecting more. The tee box at #11 was being redone and the 17th was closed, so the course is far from being in 'good' condition. When it is, i'll come back. I have played this course before when it was dry and manicured, so I know this can be an excellent course. Just keep working on everything, and the compliments will return....

We loved this course so much that we squeezed in a second round just before flying home. The setting is amazing - green hills and mountains, tropical flowers and plants, interesting holes. The course is being improved at the moment, and when finished should be excellent. At the moment, the greens need work and the signage is sometimes broken, but the course design works well. Each hole is different and has its own challenges.

Scored my first hole in one, so I am perhaps biased.

It was a great course even though the pace was slow.

I called the course the day before we played and I asked the person in the front desk if the course was in good shape and if all the work on it was done. He told me it was and that there were no changes made on the course. He lied, there are changes being made on the back nine, One par five is closed so they added an extra par 3. the course is not even sanctioned so my score means nothing. I can understand the construction going on but all the green are in bad shape and not worth playing. If only they would had been honest about the construction going on, the condition of the greens and the course not being sanctioned during the construction, it would had saved me some money, and now I have lost all respect for their front desk staff for lying just to get play.

The Royal Hawaiian Golf Club is one of my two favorite courses to play on Oahu because of the challenges it gives me, how well the course is maintained, and probably most of all, its scenery. The front is relatively more wide open with views into a lush green valley and the back is secluded in the jungle of the valley. The best scenic course on the island.

The course is great, it has great views of the Ko'olau mountains and in all the times we have played there we have not been rained on. The construction is really coming along and I was glad to see they now have a driving range.

My only complaint is that the snack bar closes at 4pm and they always seem to be out of food when we make the turn. If they had an actual kitchen this would hands down make this place the complete package.

The course was very beautiful and challenging. The views of the jungles and plant life were completely amazing. I will always remember hole 11 aka "The Pond" due to it's similarity to hole 17 at the TPC Sawgrass. I will definitely be recommending this course to friends and people visiting Oahu.

I booked on Golfnow and got a great deal for $72 and club rental was another $35 (comes with 2 sleeves of balls). The taxi ride there from Waikki Beach was 30 mins and cost about $55 each way. As for the course, it is a beautiful course nestle in the Jungle of Hawaii. There are views for pictures on every hole. The course was difficult but I'm used to difficult courses back home so no big deal. I lost only 4 balls, partly because lack of course knowledge. This is a must play course on Oahu!!!!

Currently several holes under remodel, when complete course will be great.

Nice course but greens were not in very good shape. Played it last year and really liked it, not as well this year

Ive played 7 courses on Oahu, Kahuku is my home course. Royal Hawaiian is OFF THE CHARTS compared to all the others Ive played. The challenge of the holes gets you thinking like you are playing chess. Miss the fairway and theres a good chance you will land in the jungle and never see your ball again. It is an adventure, and an extreme challenge. The beauty is breathtaking. Bring 50 balls cause you will lose them.

Little forgiveness for arant shots and keeping it in play was a must
pace of play was great not many players on course possibly because of construction. Would play again recommend you try this you.

I've played just about every golf course on Oahu and this track never gets old. A must play while visiting Oahu. The scenery is amazing as you travel deep into a tropical rainforest. They are going through some minor modifications, but it's still a steal at only $125. We even received free transportation from Waikiki through HiGolfGuide. Play here and you won't be disappointed!

The course is in good shape, but they are doing some modifications, for the better. The course is tight, it is in the middle of a lush rain forest. It is not a very long course but very unforgiiving on errant shots. Enjoy the views of Jurasic Park. If you never played the course before you should play it twice and see what a little course knowledge will do for you.

Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our experience from the online booking, to the friendliness of the staff, and the challenging course. A drawback, well, some of the holes and range were under renovation. However, these renovations will positively add to the course.

We play here every month or two and always love it here. The staff is always friendly, and the course is always in pristine condition. Even though they are undergoing renovations, you will have fun on this course. The front nine is great, but the back nine is awesome! After what feels like the longest cart ride ever to the 11th hole, you end up deep within a tropical rainforest valley. I'm always excited to get to the back nine, away from civilization, and enjoying the natural beauty of Hawaii. You'll need accurate iron shots and drives to keep it out of the jungle; lost balls are in the weeds by the dozens. Though its challenging we still enjoy coming out every so often.

This has been my third time to play and have learned to know the breaks of the course. I have played conservative and has improved my score. I plan to play here every time I am here in Hawaii. Even with some major construction, the course is beautiful, Looking forward to the new improvements of the course.
