Great golf experience!

The staff outside and inside were awesome! The experience on the course was fantastic. Great layout, but the greens were kind of spotty but rolled well with good speed. If you are in Hawaii, you need to play this course.

Fun and challenging

Loved this course and loved the staff.

We happened to be playing during tree trimming service on a few holes (very distracting and loud…. On a Sunday). The greens were very very splotchy and bouncy which, according to those who have played there before, should not be the case.

Otherwise, we had a great time

Bring Your Snacks

I would have given a perfect rating as the course was in great shape, the pace of play was 4:05, and the staff was awesome. Our only gripe playing in 80° humid weather, was we didn’t see the beverage cart until 14th hole. We had to call the pro shop and all they said she was out there. When we finally saw her she was just parked there in the shade on 14 kicking back. Otherwise it was great almost having the course to ourselves as it was a slow day.

5 sum front of us

We were wait every hole every shot because 5 sum was in front of us .They were beginner. They didn’t care we were waiting every shot . We called pro shop to compline this problem. One employee from golf course came but couldn’t solve the problem.On the contrary one of the player from front sum came to us and threaten us.that was it . We couldn’t play any more . We stoped to play at 7th hole and came home . It was a terrible experience.

Course in transition

Currently there is a lot of work going on at the clubhouse and around the course. The condition of the course was only average. It was much better when I played two years ago.

Albatros (not the golf kind)!

We have been visiting Oahu for 11 years and try to get to Turtle Bay each trip. It's not the quality of our original visit, and disappointing that The Fazio Course is closed since early Covid, but always love to make the trek to the North Shore, visit and play. It's a great layout and challenge, although the greens could use some TLC. The protected Albatros habitat on 15/16 was a pleasant surprise. We were able to see 2 without getting too close.

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.
