Luana Hills Golf Club in Hawaii is one tough nut to crack

Ask me what the hardest golf course I’ve ever played is, and one comes to mind immediately – Luana Hills Golf Club on the east side of the island of Oahu in Hawaii.

Honestly, I was about six holes into this Pete Dye jungle design wondering if I had enough golf balls to finish. But the course is certainly unlike anything I’ve ever played with its deep ravines and mountainous backdrop, and I’d love to get another crack at it.

You can read about it in my review on Luana Hills, which we just published on HawaiiGolf.com.

Why is this course so hard? Because when you miss a green, there’s a good chance you’ll be missing a golf ball. There are places you can miss, just not many. And I didn’t find them for the most part.
