Great course!

This course was so amazing! We had the opportunity to play it twice while visiting Oahu, and it was so much fun both times! The course is kept in near immaculate condition, and the banyan trees are amazing!

I did anticipate more ocean views than just the one you get on 17…..but that has nothing to do with the condition of the course.

There is sooo much water, and sand on this course which makes it a huge challenge, but so much fun!

The only thing I was disappointed in, and surprised at, was that each time we played it we only saw the beverage cart one time per round. I would have expected a little better ‘service’ to the players while out on the course.

Enjoy your play!

Nice course

The course was very nice, it was windy when we played and that made it more challenging. The course is beautiful and we got to see 2 Albatrosses on the course.

Amazing course

It was my first time playing at the Turtle Bay Arnold Palmer course. I had my best round for the year shooting 1 over. Course was immaculate and weather was perfect! I wished I could live in Oahu so I would be able to play more often. Pace of play was absolutely perfect.

Slow play

Very disappointed with the pace of play and saw no Marshall’s on the course during the entire game to get the pace moving. Waited almost 10 mins every shot.

No comparison to Ko’ O’lina Golf course at the same price point.

Will not be back

Worth the 1 hr drive

Oahu is a wonderful island but not known for having great golf courses. While you'll find better on Kauai and Maui this course was worth the hour drive. The Palmer course is the only one open but it was in very nice shape. and had some nice views.

North Shore Wind

Well I’ve never played before, watched it on TV, read many reviews over the years, voted best on Oahu…. The course layout is good to very good not great. Nobody there, got to play by myself ( which I love) caught up to a foursomes who let me play through.. very kind. The course is in fair shape with a few holes, tee boxes fair to poor. Really disappointing? I know they have had issues due to Covid etc but…. It’s a long way to Turtle Bay, a bit of a haul when you live on the other side and the traffic back ugh !!!

Now the unfortunate part most visitors don’t understand is the wind… 20 mph all day steady gusting 25-30, if you are not dead on with ball strickkng really magnifies your miss… enjoyable day, I just wouldn’t make the trek again for a round.. too many good tracks on the west side..
