With the wind it plays like Pebble

It took a round just to figure out what clubs to hit into the wind often 2-3 clubs more at times. 20-40 mpg gusts made it extremely challenging but a very nice course. Will definitely come back for another golf vacation!

Not Recommend at this time - Greens Not Recovered from Aeration

Greens were aerated earlier in the month and have not yet fully recovered, so the sand filled holes slowed the greens and didn’t give a true break. I played 2 other courses and their greens were excellent. The course only offers an aeration discount for a week and should be for 4 weeks or until the greens fully recover. I was really looking forward to playing this course and it’s unfortunate the greens were in this shape. I imagine in a week or 2 the greens will be in top shape, but I won’t be here to enjoy them.

Slow pace, Excellent Course

We played the Palmer side, quite the hike h from the clubhouse to the first tee. Course is in excellent condition, in particular the greens are amazingly consistent and nearly blemish free! Many holes have varied terrain and well placed hazards (traps, trees, and water oh my!). Each of the staff members we encountered were friendly and informative. We will be back!

Not worth the price

This course has potential but the pace of play was awful. We had to skip three holes. Where was the marshall? Much of the grass was brown and lots of areas were ground under repair. Many of the water taps were not working. There was no change room other than the bathroom. For the price I expect much more.

Only one ocean view

Very clean and well maintained. Some weird holes with sand traps in the middle of the fairways. Amazed that only one green is close to the ocean.

Excellent restaurant on premises.

Long drive from H-1 due to heavy traffic on two-way road. Parts along beautiful beaches.

Nice Course

Staff was very friendly and willing to help. Course was in good shape. Driving range and practice putting green was in good shape and we were provided with free range balls. Course was very challenging especially at the end of the round.

The only negative was the pace of play. We played in a twosome and there was a twosome two groups ahead of us. They never let the one player in front of us play through. This could have literally sped the pace of play up tremendously. The problem was we saw a starter but never a course Marshall.

For the price I wouldn’t return. There are other courses as nice that are much cheaper on Oahu.

Turtle bay

Excellent. Only issue I had was the cost. They did not have a senior rate. Very difficult for a fixed income senior to afford

Not a stunning course

It’s not worth for 3 hours round trip drive from Waikiki for the price and course. There are only two holes with ocean view. Nothing special compared with other good golf courses in Honolulu, very expensive too.

Good layout, Funky greens

The course was in great shape and overall had a good time. Every course in Oahu is expensive so that is what it is. My only gripe were the greens, they were fuzzy and slow like super slow. For $200+ you are expecting at least good greens this was almost unputtable.
