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.

Second visit
This is our second time -laying this course. We are from Florida, and have played beautiful courses across the entire Midwest and eastern states on the mainland. This course is in a beautiful jungle, and is among the top three courses we have ever played.
On vacation and brought spouses out to enjoy the views. For one set of rental clubs and two additional riders charged almost $150. Greens were in terrible condition, cart path only on front, rough hasn’t been mowed in weeks,(if miss fairway by a foot it was a search party) and driving range was closed. It’s. $50 course maximum
Awesome setting
Beautiful setting just not great condition on the front 9, which is understandable due to the wetness. Back nine is much better condition but not as spectacular setting. Very enjoyable just don't worry about your score.
Great views Poor conditions
You pay for the views when you play this course. Very picturesque. Conditions were below average. Bare spots all over the fairways. Greens were overgrown, bumpy, and filled with bare spots. Putting was unenjoyable to say the least.
Stunning Views
Quite possibly the most picturesque course I’ve ever played. Many blind shots made it especially challenging. The greens could use some love. The practice range hasn’t been available since Covid.
You can’t beat the views
Absolutely gorgeous course. It is golfing through a rainforest on the side of a mountain! Greens were almost unputtable, I wonder if it was something to do with the grass they can grow there. Staff was sup par. Shop closed at 3pm with no heads up, just generally rude to us. No one was there you think for $200+ a round they would be more friendly. No on course beverage cart, range was closed.
Challenging Course
I felt like I was in a beautiful rain-forest or jungle in the front 9. The course is very scenic and beautiful.
The greens were bumpy and had not quite healed after recent punching. The fairways are somewhat narrow and the adjacent rough was tall and very thick grass that could use some mowing. So you need to stay in the fairways or your ball will get swallowed up by the rough. The course.is very challenging so if you can't hit the ball straight, bring a lot of balls.
Amazing
Amazing course beautiful views and perfect greens. Worth every penny. Enjoyed every moment on this course.
Staff was extremely unfriendly.
The guy in the clubhouse was one of the most rude individuals I’ve ever experienced. The greens were bumpy and hopped the entire time. I would not recommend coming back to this course.
Course was closed
Course was closed due to road closure. How do I get my money back?
Not as good as previous times…
Played on 5/9/2024, view is always beautiful and course challenging. Greens were sanded and in bad shape, but the worst was cart path only as the boss was visiting … (don t understand it as the course was perfectly dry)
I played many times before and the experience was better. Still a good course to play
You’re paying for the views, but they are worth it
There are no practice facilities at this course, which for a travel destination when renting clubs is a bit of a bummer. The staff is very short and not super helpful, don’t expect much help there either. Club rentals were Taylormade Stealths, good clubs but $65 is the highest I’ve paid to date for a round. I’d recommend bringing your own balls, you are playing through the rainforest, you’re going to lose a few. Greens are in pretty rough shape, I assume it has something to do with growing that type of grass. Pace of play was great, there was no one out there!! I assume that has to do with the staff and price… million dollar views though. You can’t beat that!!
Amazing landscape
Spectacular course for the views and surroundings.
Some tee boxes you have to search out, could be better marked by maybe placing a colored rock or ball at the bottom of the hill by the cart path to indicate where they are..
Narrow and gotta have a lot of balls unless your target golf is top notch. Fairways are narrow and you won’t find anything if you’re not in one. The lush jungle eats everything up and you don’t go looking.
So many pictures of the canopy trees and mountains that you back up into.
No range to warm up was a little harsh because once you tee off you better know where you’re going right away.
Putting green needed some help and overall the whole place could use a little face lift to attract more customers.
All in all it was really cool
Greens in lousy shape
Had to play cart path only
Greats views
Embarrassing conditions
For the money that they are charging, it is embarrassing that their greens are unplayable. If you want to visit to sightsee there is value. But as a golfer, you will be very disappointed.
