Turtle Bay Resort — Arnold Palmer Course

North Shore (Kahuku)

9.0/ 10
Good to go

A championship-level round on the North Shore with a forgiving front nine giving way to a tighter, more demanding back nine with water in play on 14 of 18 holes. Reviews are generally positive on design and maintenance, distinctly more favorable than the adjacent Fazio Course.

Why Roamwise recommends this

The Arnold Palmer Course at Turtle Bay is a Golf Digest Top 100 Public Course on O'ahu's North Shore, best suited to intermediate-to-experienced golfers who want a genuine championship-level challenge. Beginners and families are better directed to Turtle Bay's other course, the more forgiving George Fazio Course.

Safety notes:
Beginner golfers — the tighter back nine and water hazards on 14 holes make this more demanding than a casual/resort round; the sister Fazio Course is a gentler option for beginners or families.

Local tips

  • •This is the "serious golfer" pick of Turtle Bay's two courses
  • •steer beginners and families to the Fazio Course instead.
  • •Resort/Ritz-Carlton guest rate ($220) is meaningfully cheaper than the visitor rate ($250) for 18 holes — worth confirming guest status at booking.
