Top Pick

A view from Royal Hawaiian Golf Club.
The 15th at Royal Hawaiian is a dogleg left par 4 and probably one of the tamer holes on the golf course.
The par-3 11th is considered one of Royal Hawaiian's signature holes
View from the 401-yard par-5 13th hole at Royal Hwaiian Golf Club

Royal Hawaiian Golf Club

770 Auola Rd, Kailua, Hawaii, 96734

Royal Hawaiian Golf Club on Oahu is one of the most beautiful courses in America's fiftieth state. It also has appeared on Golf Advisor s list of Top Courses in Hawaii. Situated just 20 minutes from Honolulu in the Maunawili Valley on the windward side of the island, Royal Hawaiian Golf Club rambles dramatically amidst jungle vegetation and the soaring green folds of the Ko'olau Mountains. The sublime setting has earned the playing field a fitting nickname  Jurassic Park  and all levels of players will find the round to be an exotic tropical joyride. While the club website credits Greg Norman with a recent redesign, Royal Hawaiian Golf Club is notable for being a 1994 collaboration between Pete Dye and his eldest son Perry. The late golf architects (Pete passed away in 2020, Perry in 2021) joined forces on a number of projects over the years, including Pound Ridge Golf Club, located an hour outside of New York City, but this joint effort in Hawaii was the only course the great patriarch of the Dye family ever worked on in Hawaii. When you have a tee time to play Royal Hawaiian Golf Club, your game will be put to the ultimate test on a layout that incorporates many of the trademark design features that made Pete Dye a  Dye-abolical legend forced carries off the tee, bunkers bordered by railroad ties, par-3's over water to island greens, and fairways that fall off steeply into bunkers and ravines. There s also a couple of blind tee shots. The re-grassed Platinum Paspalum greens play firm and putt true. Though Norman made alterations to soften the challenge somewhat, Royal Hawaiian Golf Club is still a very tough course. The layout is not long five sets of tee markers stretch the playing field from 4,492 yards to 6,609 yards. To ensure full enjoyment of the course and to manage the forced carries players must make prudent selections. While Royal Hawaiian Golf Club's jungle-like front nine features one rousing hole after another, the back nine is more open and easier. While the 1st hole establishes the tone for this exotic round, the joyride truly begins with the long cart path drive through the rain forest to the enchanted 2nd hole, a secluded par 3 with a green hanging in a pond. No matter how players match up against Royal Hawaiian Golf Club s challenge, the 'Jurassic Park' setting of royal palms, bananas, and koa trees, along with exotic plants and prolific birdlife and those green mountains make for an unforgettable day. Practice facilities include a driving range, pitching and chipping areas, sand practice bunker, and putting green. The clubhouse is home to a pro shop, locker rooms with showers, and a bar and grill restaurant with outdoor seating showcasing the breathtaking scenery. Don t miss out on a tee time at Royal Hawaiian Golf Club. It s about as much fun as you can have playing golf on Oahu or anywhere in the Hawaiian islands.
