Stunning
I've played many of the top rated courses in the US. None of them have a thing on this track. It is the most visually stunning golf course I have ever seen and my playing partner said the same thing. It is not the .ost immaculate fairways or perfect greens but once you see it and how difficult it is to get equipment in there, you will appreciate how good it is maintained. We played a top 100 course yesterday and it was boring compared to this. We are going to go back to the Royal instead.
Unique Experience
Lives up to it s reputation! Front nine (10) layout and natural beauty incredible. Greens were in average condition, not subpar as other comments. Very challenging from all tees. Losing balls is a given! If you have the right attitude and want to have fun this course is special! Try it, I guarantee you won t forget your experience.
Unnecessarily difficult course layout
The course layout is unfair. Even after good shots hard to find balls. The fairways are too hard so clubs easily bounce. You should prepare 3 times more balls than other courses
Good and bad
The course is beautiful regarding playing through the mountains and hillside. The course is also not in great shape. Perhaps the rain is too much to keep things where they should be for the cost, but fairways were beat up and greens were inconsistent. I'd opt for the hot deal time only for this course (thankfully we did).
Interesting and fun course
Really interesting course. Very few easy shots, but the natural beauty more than makes up for the difficulty. The starter was super nice. HIghly recommend, but do bring extra balls.
Impossible but Exhilarating
I was told to bring a lot of balls, but I really did not think that applied to me, as I rarely lose a ball. well this course is impossible, if you don't play it very strategically. At times, I had to tee off with an iron to avoid the ball rolliing off the fairway down a cliff. Yes, if you go over the green, down a cliff. A bit too far to the right or left, down a cliff or woods. But, I loved it. I am playing it again tomorrow and I hope I will remember all that I learned the first time I played it. The staff were fanstastic, giving you a 10 minute run down on the course before letting you out. But disappoiinting is the range is not open; first hole, several mulligins are permitted.

Jurassic Golf
Front nine beautiful and extremely challenging. Back nine scenic and a little less challenging. Overall a truly unique golfing experience.
Royal Hawaiian Very Disappointing
Did our research and read all the reviews so knew what we were getting into. Course is a about a 30 minute drive east from Honolulu on the Pali Highway. Absolutely stunning mountains, jungle, and scenery. Unfortunately, the positives kind of stop there.
Front nine was spectacular but does not reward even good shots. If you don't like balls severely above or below your feet, even after a decent shot, do not play this course. And, as all the other reviews mention, bring lots and lots of balls. Anything that even trickles off the fairways disappears. The front nine greens had been sanded maybe a month prior and had 3 to 5 inch craters and holes throughout. Pro shop and starter did not mention any local rules or greens issues. Almost impossible to putt on the front nine.
Back nine is more open, out of the jungle, with greens in better condition, but still a lot of blind shots where local knowledge would be essential. The whole track layout had a kind of disjointed, "trying way too hard to impress" feel. There's no way to get into a flow or rhythm.
By the time we got back to the clubhouse (3:30 pm), everything was closed, aside from a couple cart attendants. Complete tumbleweeds blowing through the place. Kind of eerie. No restaurant or bar or snack shop open or even a pro shop thank you. You're probably a 25 minute drive from the nearest post-round 19th hole in Kailua Beach. (the famous Buzz's Steakhouse is the place!)
Bottom line? Incredible Jurassic Park kind of setting but the whole operation feels a bit down-at-the-heels, 1980s without an apparent whole lot of fresh investment. Getting kind of dingy and worn. Oh, and good luck on the first few target-shooting holes without a driving range or even a net to warm up on prior.
For the price, cannot recommend. Was very disappointed in the overall experience for our one opportunity to play golf on this trip.
Ran down
The clubhouse entry and building is ran down, the restaurant is closed as well as the driving range. The course has a few holes that the greens are in question. Over all the setting of playing in/near a rain forest made for a pleasant experience. Take plenty of balls as it’s a course with a lot of blind shots and tight fairways!
What an experience
Nothing like I’ve ever played. Jurassic Park-esque with beautiful views, challenging holes, and an experience worth trying.
Weather was forecasted for clear, but ended up being a total downpour which made it cart path only.
Even then, conditions of the course are great, and it was part of the experience playing in that kind of weather where there were pockets of sunshine and it made those moments even more beautiful.
Greens where good
So I've been seeing a lot of reviews about greens being slow. I think a couple on the back 9 where thicker, still playable but thicker.
I had a 254 they accommodated me because of traffic which was cool, I thought at the time. Got there at 330 and everyone was saying, " you won't finish, you won't finish." As if I where to come at 254 that would gave me the full 18. 4 people told me that. That same 4 people said make sure carts are in by 530.
Like I get you guys gave lives and don't want to be there all day but four people on repeat was a bit rude imo
Disappointing
Range closed, restaurant closed, thin grass on tee boxes and fairways, unmowed crap grass in rough, exposed dirt spots on most greens.
Beautiful course, nice layout.
I love the scenery course layout except for the putting greens in very poor condition need to be maintained more.
