Turtle Bay (Palmer)
The Turtle Bay Resort is home to two 18-hole championship golf courses, the highly-ranked Arnold Palmer course and the also well-rated and popular George Fazio course. The Fazio course closed in 2020 during the Covid pandemic, and as of 2024 hasn't reopned. The Palmer course is open.
The Palmer course is a championship layout that ranks with some of the best in the Hawaiian Islands. The layout meanders its way through a mix of woodland and natural wetlands, briefly arriving oceanside at the signature hole, the dauntingly bunkered par-4 17th. From the par-6th through to the par-3 13th the course loops around the Punahoʻolapa marsh, an unspoiled 100-acre wetland and bird sanctuary.
This tree-lined and open parkland course provides a wonderful test for your all-round game, with many attractive, skilfully crafted and challenging holes to enjoy. A must play if you are in the area.
Pick of the holes: the signature par-4 17th hole offers panoramic ocean views from the green while the hole is dotted with nine fairway cross-bunkers, which makes it as challenging as it is scenic.
