Olomana Golf Links features an 18 hole, par 72 golf course that provides unparalleled vistas of the Ko’olau Mountain Range, challenging holes accented by inviting water hazards, cavernous sand traps, undulating topographical conditions and several signature holes. The Pro Shop and Sakura Restaurant are housed in a Clubhouse that bring back memories of “Old Hawaii.” The helpful staff and friendly kama’aina atmosphere will make you feel right at home which is why Olomana Golf Links is recognized as one of Oahu’s premier local golf venues serving all of Hawaii’s residents and visitors.

The name “Olomana” can be translated in many ways. Some have translated the word as a “camel” (olo) with “staying power” (mana). The twin peaked land formation of the neighboring Mount Olomana has been described as the “powerful shoulders” of a giant who possessed supernatural powers that enabled him to perform great deeds. Mere mortals who play at Olomana today have been inspired to perform “great deeds” of their own with the great scores they shoot. Above all, the golf course offers a challenge of skills and yet a fun experience for all levels of players.

Your round will take you from tropical jungles home to the island’s native birds and flora, to wide open hillsides and wandering streams, to the Maunawili Valley nestled between majestic Mount Olomana and Ko’olau. It’s an awe-inspiring experience that moves even the native Hawaiian.

Set in historic Maunawili Valley, once the meeting place of great Hawaiian warriors and a beautiful island queen, the course is now home to a variety of wildlife. Native Hawaiian birds like the rare Aku`u nest in the royal palms and koa trees, and wild boar visit the fresh water streams. The hidden valley course is a site for feature films and a frequent stop of celebrities visiting Hawai’i, including former golfing President Bill Clinton. Luana Hills is the perfect place for those looking for a quiet escape.
