Royal Hawaiian Golf Club

A "Jurassic Park" experience! Tucked into the Ko’olau mountains, this Pete Dye/Greg Norman gem offers stunning jungle views and forced carries. The front nine is tight and punishing, while the back opens up. Bring extra balls—the scenery is 5 stars!

A beautiful course. Unfortunately it rained most of the time when I played. The fairways are narrow so if you play for the first time throttle back. Club down as your normal shots are 10-15 yards short. Staff is friendly. The building is beautiful but only the pro shop and snack bar were open.

Playing golf in Jurassic Park! What a fun experience! Overall, the experience was worth the price of admission. The good: - Course was very challenging and fun - The people were wonderful (particularly Danny!) - I can't rave enough about how cool the course and environment was The bad: - There was a fire in August 2025 which took out a bunch of equipment so you can tell they are still recovering - Driving range is closed indefinitely - The restaurant person didn't come in so there was no food option at the turn (this one bothered me the most but stuff happens) - They stopped renovating the course and so hole 5 (par 5) is in an unplayable state so instead we got a hole 3B which was a boring par 3 Final thoughts: The people were wonderful and very nice and welcoming. Made my group and I feel awesome. The course was incredible. There's some rough parts around the edge but overall if you want to play golf in the rainforest, it's well worth it!
