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.

BEAUTIFUL COURSE
COURSE IS BEING MADE MORE GOLFER FRIENDLY. HOLES ARE BEING SHORTENED AND LAY OUT CHANGED. SOME GREENS ARE IN BAD SHAPE. IN ALL COURSE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND WILL BE GREAT WHEN DONE. I STILL ENJOYED GOLF AND SCENERY NONE THE LESS.
Fantastic experience!
Even though the course is being renovated, it is still worth experiencing. It is very challenging,but the scenic beauty from beginning to end is awesome!!!!! Felt like we were in Jurrasic Park. I actually played well, as it may be challenging, but not too long for women. Loved it!!!!!!
Absolutely Stunning Setting
This course is exactly what I envisioned a Hawaii golf course would be. The vistas were absolutely stunning and beautiful! It was like playing in the middle of a tropical rain forest.
It is a very challenging course and requires your "A" game. Unfortunately I only packed by B game and it cost me several more golf balls than usual.
The staff was very friendly and courteous.
Playing the Royal Hawaiian is a memory I will cherish for years. It is the most spectacular course I have ever played!
Greens were a mess, patchy sandy and inconsistent. Pace of play should be monitored.
Disappointing overall. Driving range was closed and it was not disclosed. Many of the greens were very patchy with heavy sandy areas. The group in front of me was a twosome. They played multiple balls each and had a full whole seperation between them and the foursome ahead. They played multiple shots per ball played while I sat and waited on the tee box. There was no Marshall or ranger on the course. Probably wont play here again for awhile.
what a cool golf course to play. Front 9 layout very different from back 9. both are great
I thought the staff was very customer service and friendly. The course was really great to play. Greens were consistent in their roll. Golfing in a golf course that makes you feel like your are in the jungle is a unique experience from anything else out there. Fairways are narrow so beware - if you hook any way - you might as well reload cause you will not find it - especially in the back 9. The course layout is being altered in the back 9 when we played and that didn't match up with our golflogix software which was frustrating but not enough to disappoint the experience. I will definitely play this course again!
beautiful!!!
this is hands down one of the most beautiful course i ever play, very challenging but gorgeous!! u get to check this out!
Beautiful Course
Very intersting holes wound thru the forest with lots of elevation change. It was like going for a scenic hike and playing golf at the same time. The greens were not as fast as in the mainland, but I haven't played a course in Oahu that was.
This one's on my 'replay' list
Other than the one hole that's under construction, this course is in pristine condition. WHAT an absolute pleasure it was to play this course. We had heard nothing about this other than what was listed on GOLFNOW. We played Ko'Olina after this one and three holes into Ko'Olina we wished we had skipped Ko'Olina and played Royal Hawaiian twice.
Need to hit the ball straight and correct distance
Course was really imaginative and beautiful. Great views all around you. Luckily, I was hitting the ball well. You must be accurate. I lost only 2 balls and one was just hit too well on an island par 3. The other I misjudged a blind slope to the left into the jungle. The negative for the course would be if you are straying with your shots you will loose a lot of balls. Very narrow fairways and sometimes no rough just jungle, so miss the fairway - loose a ball.
This course is under construction so call ahead.
We arrived and found several features of the course were under construction or unavailable. The driving range was closed and under repair and one of the holes on the back nine was temporary. There are no beverage carts and the food service that they do have near the pro shop was not very good. In speaking with the club pros this course was just recently taken over by the new owners hence the name change to Royal Hawiian. They are making improvements due to neglect by the prior owners but I think they have several months to go so look forward to 2013 and call ahead as this is a Jungle course with spectacular Hawiian mountain views and a very challenging course. You really need to be able to drive the fairways, as with several other courses in HI.
Beautiful views!!
It was my first time being in Hawaii and I had get a round in. I was told Luana Hills CC would be a perfect spot for a weekend warrior like myself. I got to the course and was told the name was changed to the Royal Hawaiian GC. It didn't matter what it was called because it was one of the most beautifullest courses I have ever played!! And the locals that I had played with made the round fun and eventful! We got rained on for 3 minutes, then the sun came out and then all was well...
Hard to find next tee box
There were a few holes that require more signs to guide us to the next tee box. Nices course that i wouldn't want to play on.
Beautiful layout and course super green
I loved the feeling of being in paradise. I felt like I was in a rain forest. The fairways and greens were spectacular. Had to really watch how I hit the ball for better control so as not to lose it.
Good, fair course, and very nice views
Fairways could use some work, but not in very bad condition. Greens are nice, but a bit slow due to recent sanding. Play was slow on the back nine, due to a very show six-some on the course ahead of us.
