Royal Hawaiian Golf Club

This is a challenging course. You can lose a few balls, but who cares - the scenery is amazing, especiall the back nine, just like in a pre-historic jungle! The course is in good condition too. We enjoy it tremendously every time, doesn't matter what the score is.

very challenging for first time out in six months...course in very good shape...will definetly go again

For a challenging and enjoyable golf experience coupled with a caring management and staff, Royal Hawaiian has it all! From the moment we were sincerely greeted in the parking lot by an employee who loaded our clubs and transported us to the club house until the parting “thank you for visiting Royal Hawaiian Golf Club” our day on the links was exceptional! This golf course is tucked into the jungle and every challenging hole has character and suspense. Pete Dye challenges include greens that are quick, carries over water, hidden pin placements, elevated tees, palm trees and rolling fairways. There are four sets of tees to choose from making this track fun for every ability! Although construction was in progress improving an already excellent track, it is obvious the course will be even better in the near future when the renovations are complete! I enjoyed the golf, the physical layout and above all the staff and management who went out of their way to ensure our golf experience was excellent! I will be back!

Beautiful and challenging. BUT, they need better singane to find the course.

Always a challenge. The quality of the course has improved since the recent name change. The tee boxes, fairways and greens well maintained. Be sure to consider the grain of the greens when putting.

Bring a rain jacket as an occasional quick mist might come through, on the plus side the carts have rain covers for the clubs!

This course had very interesting holes and the layout was a Treat and a challenge.

Bring balls. Some fine holes, but overall a bit tricked up.

terrific track. a must play on Oahu. Target golf. Bring extra ball and enjoy. quick greens that roll well.

Wow. Something different. It's like playing golf in Jurassic Park. Very nice , well maintained course. Pick the right tees.

The golf course was fabulous and the scenery was fantastic.

2nd hardest course i have every played. Stop keeping my score after I lost 10 balls. You have to keep it on the fairway with jungle and trouble on both sides of the narrow fairways. Had a lot fun and the views was some of the best every! Staff is very good. Looking forward to playing again once construction is complete.

There cannot be a more beautiful course in the world but the poor green conditions and dilapidated carts prevented it from being an unforgettable experience. The back 9 presented the greatest challenges where the location for the second shot on the long holes are critical. Don't rely on the yardage markers, couldn't figure out some of them.

We had the course to ourselves. Great rentals. Worth the drive from Waikiki.

This golf course was in pretty good shape but the real treat was the views and surroundings what an amazing experience. Pretty challenging lots of blind shots and elevation swings but worth while golfing and would do it again when back in Hawaii. We played with my wife and sister so it was a long but very enjoyable round of golf

This is a wonderful course with extremely well maintained fairways and greens. The staff was friendly and helpful. The one drawback is that if you don’t hit every fairway and green, the ball is lost and all lost balls are treated as lateral water hazards.

This course is unbelievable. The views are amazing and everything is luscious and green. You go deep into the jungle and feel as if you've got the entire course to yourself. A very fun course to play and a great value. We even received free transportation from Waikiki through HiGolfGuide. Our driver Eric was a nice young man and made the trip even more memorable for my wife and I. He was very knowledgeable and gave us some really interesting information about some of the hidden landmarks we passed along the way. Not an average driver but a true "Golf Guide." I would have to say that this is my favorite course on the island and it's exactly what golf in Hawaii should be. If you only had one round of golf to play while staying on Oahu play here!

Besides the savings by booking on GolfNow.com, this course is a "must play" for anyone traveling to Oahu; it is really not that far out of Honolulu. Pay attention to the yardage markers at the tie boxes; the course plays similar to a desert course only in a jungle; ball position is important. Be wary of the Par 5 14th hole; being uphill, the length is deceiving. At mid-week, this is an under-played course. The two of us played 18 in 2 1/2 hours and the club let us re-play for $30. Great course, great value!
Mahalo!

Of all the courses I have played in Hawaii, this one is my favorite. It is "Dye-abolical," but I love the gorgeous "Mother Nature" around which it was designed. It is like playing in Jurassic Park! This course is on my "Top Five" list of all courses I have ever played anywhere.

This is a great track, it must have been a real pleasure to play when they kept it up. Unfortunately many green have trouble. The 17th green is almost gone. Bent grass greens usually have a 'hairy look' but I think they need to mow more often. It's is such a fun track that I still enjoy it, they are working on the driving range and the "10th hole" , this course has two number 10's, or is it two number 11's. and odd feature that either has you driving a long way from 9 to 10 or if the "pond" hole is in play a long drive from that green to the (12th?) In any case there is an extra hole stuck out there that you don't play. Again a great course, but needs attention.

This is a very beautiful course with spectacular scenery. They are rebuilding the driving range and Hole 10 but it doesn't really affect play. Even though it is a difficult course we had a really fun day. We will definitely come back to play.
