The only George Fazio-designed golf course in Hawaii, the Fazio Course at Turtle Bay Resort, is popular with visitors and pros alike. The course features lengthy fairways, deep bunkers and sculpted greens. The Fazio is also home of the LPGA Tour's Hawaiian Open.
Want to play a George Fazio course in Hawaii? You only have one choice.
Good news, though, the course is at the beautiful Turtle Bay Resort. With five miles of beaches, Turtle Bay is the perfect place to gaze at Kawela Bay, Bay View Beach Lawn and Turtle Bay, itself. Only 45 minutes from Honolulu, the resort immerses guests in the natural beauty of Oahu. In fact, ocean views are the norm in every one of the resort's 443 rooms.
The Fazio Course, home of the LPGA Tour's Hawaiian Open and the site of the first Senior Skins Game, boasts healthy fairways, challenging bunkers and sculpted greens. The 6,628-yard golf course has a slope of 130.
Turtle Bay offers two practice facilities next to the clubhouse. It features a driving range, chipping green with sand bunkers and a large putting green. The Arnold Palmer Practice Area is tops in the state. It has a large driving range, short-game area and pitching green.

- I've played this course every time I come to Oahu (six times in the last 7 years). I love everything about it. The staff is friendly and helpful and not overly formal. The practice facilities are excellent. Lei Lei's restaurant in the clubhouse is wonderful. And the course is both challenging (though not punishing) and scenic. And if the degree of difficulty leaves you unchallenged, the adjoining Palmer course will give you all you can handle. I can't wait to get back.
- From the parking lot to the first tee, the layout is great! The pro shop staff is friendly and accommodating and the staff outside are very helpful and friendly. The course is fantastic and gives you a taste of Hawaii's natural beauty. There's a lot perks from, the ice chest to keep drinks cold to the cold face towel at the end of the round. Its great way to enjoy a beautiful day in paradise!
- I live and play here at Turtle Bay and have no idea why the negative comments were posted. It is gorgeous with reasonable rates, availability, and layout. Looking for a cost-effective, easygoing round at one of the world's most beautiful venues? Turtle Bay. It's not Augusta National, but what is? Come with a smile and appetite (great food closely), and do what I did today: play 18 holes and then have a fun surf session minutes away in clear Hawaiian water. And no, you can't do that at Augusta National. I am a paying customer with no financial interests at the resort.
- The Fazio course was disappointing.... Not in particularly good shape. No ball washers, no divot mix, no beverage carts.... Decent layout, but not in the type of shape I figured for Turtle Bay.......only two ocean-view holes....otherwise, no different than playing in S.Texas....!
- I did something yesterday after playing 9 holes that I have never done before. I left the course before finishing and asked for my money back.
I was so dissatisfied and disappointed with the condition of the course that words can't explain
The pro apologized and told me that it has become common lately that others have done the same. He said the neglect was because they're getting ready to overhaul. No excuse for the price - Golf Pro is a liar and would not honor an entertainment book coupon that his staff indicated that was usable. Staff went so far as to tell me that I made an internet reservation, I guess it must of been Turtle Bay's version of Siri - in either case, neither works. Golf Cart brakes did not work and nobody seeme to care, but I was able to exchange it after 9. Three of the ball washes did not work. For what the green fees are, I would have expected something wonderful, not a bunch of jerks on a poorly maintained golf course. Hall should be fired and they should start over again.
On the positive side, there are a couple holes with ocean views, but not nearly as many as one would think. I think I will stick with Trump in LA. Much better views and better maintained. Although Hall has the ego of Trump - but would rather fire the customers than employees!
Word's can not describe how much I love this Golf Course and it's environment. Both the Palmer and George Fazio Courses are excellent. I have been playing golf from age 12 to present age of 58. Playing these 2 courses brought back the enjoyment and excitement of getting up early in the morning going to the golf course. The courses are maintained extremely well, the greens putt true and their are no hidden surprises. You are rewarded for good play and penalized if you don't keep it in play.Courses are challenging for the Low Handicap
and Scratch players. All handicap players will enjoy playing at Turtle Bay. Excellent Golf Staff and they organize and host great private parties.Tournaments are run tournaments very well.
Turtle Bay to me is just a small taste of what Heaven must be like. If you have any questions about Turtle Bay please ask. You are welcome to email for further questions. mustangpetroleum@gmailcom
