Arnold Palmer Golf Course at Turtle Bay

The picturesque Turtle Bay Resort is a perfectly manicured and landscaped paradise located on Oahu's northern most point. The Arnold Palmer Course, named after its famed architect, is the more challenging of the two world class courses on the Turtle Bay property and has often been ranked as Oahu's best public access course. Several major tournament events have been held here, including the Champions Tour, LPGA Tour, the Golf Channel's Big Break, the Hawaii State Open.

Many sources give rave reviews of this course, so expect a decent amount of crowds and slow play speeds. Though the yardage is not extreme, the design makes good use of Palmers technical knowledge of the game to up the challenge.

Local's Tip:
Nearby Kuilima Cove and Beach is a suggested spot for swimming before or after your game at the Palmer. It can be a great spot for the non-golfers in your party to rest and relax during your game. Any trip to Turtle Bay from other parts of Oahu can be made into a great day trip, as you pass along a 7 mile stretch of some of the best beaches in the world, including Sunset, Banzai Pipeline, and Waimea Bay.
