Royal Hawaiian Golf Club
Played On 08/02/2014Bunkers, hills, and great views
Typical Dye course with plenty of elevation change and not many flat lies. The mountain and jungle views are excellent and the course presents you with a lot of interesting shots, including plenty of can-I-get-over-the-x sorts of positions. A lot of fun and not to be missed if you're visiting. Great facilities and service, too. This is probably the all-around best course I've played on Oahu.
Pearl at Kalauao
Played On 08/01/2014Fast, challenging greens
An enjoyable course with good views of Pearl Harbor and plenty of elevation change. A good mix of holes; there are some long par 3s that play pretty tough with the wind, as well as at least one par 5 that is fairly reachable in two with the wind behind. The greens are slick and often tough to read.
I found the staff to be somewhat disengaged and not particularly enthusiastic, but YMMV.
Olomana Golf Links
Played On 07/26/2014Enjoyable layout
Plenty of room if you miss the fairways; the rough isn't too punishing. Tees and greens in very good shape. A nice layout with good views and some character, fun for the intermediate golfer but maybe a bit unchallenging for low handicappers.
Ko'olau Golf Club
Played On 07/13/2014Tight, interesting layout
An extremely tight layout that rewards driving and approach accuracy. If you miss, you're likely to lose your ball; most fairways are bordered by thick jungle. Several tee shots will be less than driver unless you're a huge hitter. Tough greens -- many are elevated and most are tiered.
Beautiful mountain views throughout the course. The back nine was a little soggy in places after some light rain (which seems to be common). The course was in general in excellent shape, especially the greens.
Very challenging, but well worth the money if you can play at a reasonable rate.
Mililani Golf Club
Played On 07/12/2014Not much personality
This was only my second time playing on Oahu and the first time in over six years, so I don't really know the local standard. That said, I thought this course was in poor shape (especially the tee boxes), lacked personality in its layout, and was overpriced.
Bull Run Golf Club
Played On 6/23/2013Good layout, great condition
I would certainly recommend this to a friend. The layout is a lot of fun and provides a lot of variation and interesting holes. The course was in excellent condition and the staff was very friendly. I really had no complaints at all. The slow pace of play was entirely down to the twosome we were paired with - even on a Saturday morning, I'm confident we could have played a four hour round if those two had had it together.
