Royal Hawaiian Golf Club
One of Hawaii’s premier courses for advanced players, offering an experience akin to playing in the jungle.

Course Overview
Opened in 1993, Royal Hawaiian Golf Club was the first course co-designed by Pete and Perry Dye. It was later redesigned by Greg Norman, transforming it into a challenging layout that fuses Dye’s strategic design elements with Norman’s dynamic style. Nestled in the lush Maunawili Valley, the course boasts a stunning natural setting where players can enjoy breathtaking views of the Koʻolau Range and Mount Olomana.
Its signature features include two par-3 "island greens." With a high level of difficulty demanding precision shots, this is a serious course recommended for intermediate to advanced players.
Recommended Points
- A challenging layout combining the designs of Pete & Perry Dye with a redesign by Greg Norman
- Magnificent scenery featuring the Koʻolau Range and Maunawili Valley
