Oahu Golf Vacations

Golf Vacations in Oahu (Turtle Bay)

There are more golf courses on Oahu than any other Hawaiian island, and Turtle Bay is home to two legendary courses: the Palmer Course and the Fazio Course. With 36 thrilling holes and championship-caliber greens and fairways, golfers of every skill level can enjoy a game on these elegant resort courses while taking in the spectacular scenery.  Golf vacations in Oahu are truly a memorable experience.

The Arnold Palmer Golf Course
A stop on the annual PGA Championship Tour, this distinctive par-72, 6,225-yard, 18-hole championship golf course was designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, and offers a challenge to the best players in the world. Winding around a 100-acre wetland preserve in the tranquil Punahoolapa Marsh, the Palmer Course has breathtaking scenery. The front nine holes evoke the Scottish links with water, wind, and rolling hills. The back nine meanders through stands of ironwood pine and a wetlands bird sanctuary. The 17th green sits on a plateau only 100 feet from the ocean, so enjoy the dramatic Pacific view while playing the Palmer Course’s signature hole.

The George Fazio Golf Course
Hawaii’s only golf course designed by the renowned George Fazio, the par-72, 6,083-yard, 18-hole course boasts immaculately sculpted greens, expansive fairways, and deep bunkers. The Fazio Course has hosted the LPGA Tour's Hawaiian Open and was the site of the first Senior Skins Game, which included Arnold Palmer, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Gary Player, and Sam Sneed.

A playable resort course for golf vacationers of all abilities, the Fazio Course offers wide, tree-lined fairways and greens graced by swaying palm trees. Even though the Fazio Course is less difficult than the Palmer Course, it features plenty of wind due to its location along Oahu's north shore. Before leaving the 6th hole, take a break to watch the waves crash on the white sand beach peeking through the Norfolk pine trees, as this visual will etch itself in your memory – forever reminding you of your fabulous Oahu golf vacation experience.
