Turtle Bay Resort features two championship golf courses that are among the finest in all of Hawaii. The Arnold Palmer and George Fazio Courses have achieved legendary status as select locations for prestigious PGA and LPGA tournaments.
The Arnold Palmer Course is a distinctive 18-hole championship golf course. Designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, this unique Hawaii golf course offers something for golfers of every skill level. Played from the Palmer (black) tees, the course offers a stern challenge to the best players in the world. However, there are also five or six sets of tees on each hole.
Enjoy varied breathtaking scenery at the Arnold Palmer Course. The front nine reminds golfers of true Scottish Links with its sand, water, wind and rolling terrain. The back nine takes a dramatic shift as it meanders through a jungle forest of ironwood pine and a wetlands bird sanctuary.
The 17th hole is unquestionably the signature hole on the course with no less than nine craggy bunkers surrounding the landing area and extending all the way up to the green. The 17th green sits on a plateau only 100 feet from the ocean.
The Palmer Course surrounds a beautiful wetland preserve known as the Punaho'olapa Marsh. This 100-acre preserve is home to many endangered species of Hawaiian birds. A man-made moat separates the wetlands from the golf course.
