About This Course

Nestled on the windward side of Oahu, just a short drive from Kaneohe, Ko'olau Golf Club stands as a testament to both nature's grandeur and the art of golf course design. Often heralded as one of the most challenging golf courses in the world, the Ko'olau Golf Club golf course offers an unparalleled experience for the intrepid golfer. Carved from the dense, emerald rainforest at the base of the majestic Ko'olau Mountain Range, this public course is not merely a round of golf; it's an epic journey through a landscape teeming with natural beauty and formidable obstacles. For those seeking an ultimate test of skill, strategy, and mental fortitude on an Oahu golf course, Ko'olau promises an unforgettable adventure, where every shot demands precision and respect for the powerful Hawaiian environment.

From the moment you arrive, the sheer scale of the Ko'olau Mountains dominates the horizon, their jagged peaks often shrouded in mist, creating a dramatic backdrop that is both awe-inspiring and intimidating. The course itself is a vibrant tapestry of lush tropical foliage, deep ravines, and cascading waterfalls, all contributing to an immersive experience that feels worlds away from the bustling beaches of Waikiki. Hawaii Golf Time is proud to present this comprehensive guide to Ko'olau Golf Club, ensuring you are fully prepared for one of golf's most unique and demanding encounters.

A "Jurassic Park" experience! Tucked into the Ko’olau mountains, this Pete Dye/Greg Norman gem offers stunning jungle views and forced carries. The front nine is tight and punishing, while the back opens up. Bring extra balls—the scenery is 5 stars!

A beautiful course. Unfortunately it rained most of the time when I played. The fairways are narrow so if you play for the first time throttle back. Club down as your normal shots are 10-15 yards short. Staff is friendly. The building is beautiful but only the pro shop and snack bar were open.

Playing golf in Jurassic Park! What a fun experience! Overall, the experience was worth the price of admission. The good: - Course was very challenging and fun - The people were wonderful (particularly Danny!) - I can't rave enough about how cool the course and environment was The bad: - There was a fire in August 2025 which took out a bunch of equipment so you can tell they are still recovering - Driving range is closed indefinitely - The restaurant person didn't come in so there was no food option at the turn (this one bothered me the most but stuff happens) - They stopped renovating the course and so hole 5 (par 5) is in an unplayable state so instead we got a hole 3B which was a boring par 3 Final thoughts: The people were wonderful and very nice and welcoming. Made my group and I feel awesome. The course was incredible. There's some rough parts around the edge but overall if you want to play golf in the rainforest, it's well worth it!
