KAHUKU, Hawaii - The current home of the LPGA's SBS Open and former site of a Champions Tour event, the Arnold Palmer Course at Turtle Bay Resort has a solid playing history.
Atypical of many golf courses in Hawaii, Turtle Bay's Palmer Course is a nice mix of links golf and tree-lined fairways that are almost more reminiscent of Florida than the Aloha State. This Oahu golf course features five sets of tees and from the tips, it tests the best players. Recently, the Palmer Course also was named as the site of the Hawaii State Open, which will also be played on its sister layout, the older George Fazio Course at Turtle Bay.
The Palmer Course is known for its heavily bunkered par-4 17th hole, which provides the only good view of the Pacific Ocean, but there are many other solid holes as well. Despite the limited ocean view, there are 17 holes with water, many of them built around attractive lagoons.
The golf course is also one of a growing trend to feature paspalum fairways and greens. Playing conditions are always excellent given that this type of turf thrives in tropical climates.
