Royal Hawaiian Special

18 holes, par 72, 6595 yards. All prices per person and include golf cart rental. 

Royal Hawaiian Golf Course—formerly known as Luana Hills—offers one of Oʻahu’s most dramatic and unforgettable golf experiences, set on the east side of the island at the base of the Koʻolau Mountain Range with colossal Mt. Olomana as its backdrop. Carved through a lush tropical rainforest, the course feels like a secluded jungle sanctuary, offering breathtaking scenery at every turn. Even the approach is part of the adventure: a 1.5-mile drive through dense, magnificent rainforest leads you to a clubhouse setting that instantly confirms you’ve arrived somewhere extraordinary.

Designed by Pete and Perry Dye, the layout showcases bold architectural features paired with the natural contours of the land. The front nine winds through rugged mountainous terrain, demanding accuracy through narrow, dramatic corridors framed by steep volcanic ridges and jungle ravines. In contrast, the back nine opens into rolling terrain with wider visuals but still requires thoughtful shot-making. At roughly 6,600 yards with a slope of 138 from the back tees, Royal Hawaiian blends beauty with challenge, offering a test that both intrigues and rewards golfers of all skill levels.

Often described as “playing golf in Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs,” Royal Hawaiian delivers a sense of immersion that few courses can match. Towering emerald cliffs, serene surroundings, and postcard-perfect views showcase the natural wonder of Hawaiʻi throughout the round. This bucket-list course provides an unforgettable combination of championship golf and breathtaking scenery.
