From front nine to back nine you journey from wide open spaces on hillsides below the magic mountain of Olomana, to dense tropical jungle that showcases Hawaiian flora and birds. Located in the back of beautiful Maunawili Valley on the windward side of Oahu, Luana Hills Country Club is the first course in Hawaii designed by Perry Dye and his famous brother, Pete - one of the most accomplished golf architects in America. Luana Hills measures just 6,595 yards from the back tees, but its relatively modest length belies the challenge that lies ahead. The Dye brothers made sure to incorporate many of their trademark design features, including a variety of forced carries off the tee, bunkers bordered by railroad ties, par-3's over water to island greens, and fairways that fall off steeply into bunkers and ravines. Luana Hills is set in awesome natural surroundings beneath the deep green folds of the Ko'olau Mountains. The front nine plays across the lower slopes of Mount Olomana, while the back nine wends its way through a tropical rainforest with dramatic changes in elevation. Local residences refer to it as "Jurassic Park" because there are few signs of civilization, only the surrounding forest and the mountain peaks overhead.
