Located on the northernmost tip of the island of Oahu, the Turtle Bay Resort is home to not one, but two, 18-hole, championship courses. Designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, the aptly named Palmer Course at Turtle Bay is perfect for veteran golfers and less experienced players alike, with 5 or 6 sets of tees at each hole. (For the ultimate challenge, try playing from the black Palmer tees!) The Palmer Course is home to the PGA TOUR Champion’s Tour Turtle Bay Championship, the first full field event of the PGA Champions Tour!
A variety of terrain awaits you at this beautifully designed and utterly unique course. The front nine is reminiscent of Scottish links courses while the back nine winds its way through a forest of Ironwood pine trees and around a beautiful, 100-acre wetland preserve, Punaho'olapa Marsh – a bird sanctuary that is home to a number of rare species of Hawaiian birds! (A man-made moat separates the preserve from the course proper.)
The signature 17th hole is a real beauty sitting out on a plateau overlooking the ocean!
Looking to hone those golf skills? The Golf Academy at Turtle Bay Resort offers individual and group lessons, video instruction with swing analysis, golf fitness training, and the state-of-the-art Palmer Practice Facility with nine target greens, two putting greens, and practice bunkers!
