Royal Hawaiian Golf Club

This course is a short course that was not in great condition and was run like a mini course that had seen better days. I played it on a day that the greens were punched and you had difficulty determining where the fairways end and the rough begins. Patches of grass on the fairway made for uneven texture. You don’t need a driver or a wood to play this course. Keep those in your car! The pro shop had very little inventory. In fact, my local mini 9-hole pro shop had more inventory. It’s worth maybe $75 so play it if you’re a local who can get resident rates. Otherwise, don’t pay $165. No wonder there were tons of tee times available. Lesson learned.

It was a beautiful course and difficult terrain, and even tougher when playing with cart path only. With the way this course layout, cart path only rule make it very hard to play, they need to announce it in advance.

Jurassic Park is an apt nickname for this course. Around every corner is a spectacular view. Rough is very thick, then it is jungle. Staff and pro shop are great. Target golf at finest with several tee box choices. Can’t wit to play it again.

Had tee time at 1PM when made turn the snack bar was closed.

What a beautiful course. The staff are extremely nice and friendly. Thank you guys

This may have been a great course at one time, but the overall facility is run down and seems to be barely surviving. It is truly playing golf in a jungle on a mountainside. As such it is very unique and probably worth playing once for the novelty. The advice was bring one extra ball for each of your handicap points is about accurate, you are going to lose a lot of balls! It seems to rain everyday there because of its location, expect mud. Fairways in poor condition, greens slow. Bag "drop off" process is bizarre, facilities are run down. We checked the box but will not go back.

Staff is amazing. Helpful and welcoming. No driving range. No restaurant. Snack bar available. It rained really hard the day before and morning off so course was soaked. Doesn’t drain well but expected in Hawaii. Beautiful views of the rain forest. Some of the most challenging holes Hawaii has to offer.

Every hole is cart path and the conditions are horrendous.

The course is located in a lush, scenic area but the course design is lacking. Some holes are down a hill and there’s no good landing area. Very difficult to play but the scenery is breathtaking.

A lot of fun playing in the hilly jungles in the middle of Oahu. Course in pretty good conditions but greens could have been in better shape. But overpriced, even at the discounted rate I got, for what it delivers.

Beautiful course and scenery, but all target Golf, Very hilly with carts restricted to golf path only,

Great Time.....Thought the starter took a before pic, and said I wouldn't be smiling at the end, but I Was. Fantastic views of incredible mountains and canopies....fantastic holes to play....WARNING- if you can't hit the ball straight, DO NOT PLAY HERE...fortunately I hit 79% of fairways, and still shot a 97. lots of long carries off tee's, almost every hole has jungle to left, jungle to right, and a carry to fairway......but I loved it.....if you are a scratch to 15 handicapper....I would totally encourage you to play here......I felt like I played well and still lost about 6 balls... I usually shoot in the high 80's......go for it.

This course is worth the money in just driving the golf cart around the course. Breathe taking views everywhere. Yes, you will lose plenty of balls front 9 unless you say you're that good, but who cares about losing balls, this course was amazing alone seeing all the beauty. Very challenging. I had 5 pars, but i'll leave my score out of review, LOL!!!, I read reviews cas players lose balls, so rated low, can't do that cas you suck, just enjoy your round and take it all in. Aloha

The views are absolutely stunning. They help to mitigate deception on the course amenities: no ball washer, no trash bins, no water stations and very poor signage.
