What to Expect?

To get there, set your GPS to 94-1509 Anonui Street, Waipahu, HI 96797. Fortunately, they have ample space for parking so this should not be a problem. Royal Kunia is named the best and scenic golf course in Oahu, not only for its spectacular views but also for excellent customer service. So as soon as you check-in, you are greeted with a warm welcome and immediately notice a well-groomed course.

One thing that’s good about this 18-hole course is that there is no Marshall who rushes your speed so you can lay back and enjoy every shot. Have you ever experienced that incident when you were enjoying your play, and then suddenly, somebody tells you to make it quick? Luckily, you don’t experience it here. But of course, it doesn’t mean you play it very slow because other players are waiting for their turn. It also allows five-some groups after 12:30 pm, so it’s perfect if you came here in a group.

Because of the higher elevation, almost all holes offer calming and beautiful views. Wide fairways and few water hazards make the course playable, as well. For ladies, the length of the course from the forward tees allows you to get to the greens in regulation (although sometimes the wind makes it more difficult). Here’s a small tip for you: bring your golf GPS if you want to improve your game.

The pro-shop, with an accommodating and knowledgeable staff, assists you with everything, from buying necessary equipment and providing you with helpful tips. Club rentals are also available if you haven’t brought yours. The open bar serves cocktails and other refreshments if you want to sit for a while and rest, and/or waiting for your turn to make that golf stroke. For those who prefer snacks, the snack house in the course offers mouthwatering sandwiches, burgers, and fries, among others. In fact, some people nearby the course come here and enjoy the view while snacking even without playing.

Meanwhile, although the restaurant is quite small, it serves delicious, authentic Hawaiian foods. You can taste a blend of Asian cuisines, accompanied by rice, like chicken teriyaki, chicken wings, sautéed shrimps with garlic, Lechon kawali, and others. They also have fried noodles and ramen if you want to go for pure Japanese foods.
