Played 9/30, twosome, 4:15 rd. Paid $35 replay rate after playing the Fazio first. so $300 worth of golf for $125. Was reluctant to play here. I was staying in Waikiki, so it's an hour drive to the resort, and the online reviews were not great. But for the price, and for the experience of playing a top 100 course (Palmer), I decided to give it a try. The main complaints online I saw were the conditions of the fairways and bunkers. The fairway criticism was justified. It looks like they are having trouble with the grass. Certainly playable, but it doesn't "look" like a top 100 course, and for the $185 rack rate, I can understand the complaints. The bunkers, I had no problem with... They are playable, big and deep. The greens are big and slow, but true (fast 9, slow 10 on the stimp). The layout is top 100 caliber. Very interesting course lined with foliage which shapes the holes elegantly. Occassional carries to the green. Lucked out with the weather: little to no wind on a sunny warm (humid) day. #17 is an uphill hole with the green on the ocean. That's your ocean view. The rest of the course is inland. Much more fun layout than the Fazio, in fair shape. Definitely worth the $35... full fare would be tough to swallow. But for the opportunity to knock this off my bucket list, I had a great time.

For our second round of the day we got to play the Palmer course for the amazing rate of only $35 since we played a morning round on the Fazio at full price (which now would justify the $110 to play the Fazio). As you know the Palmer course has been the host of several professional events and it’s everything you have seen on TV and more! Wind started to pick up but the course was designed with the wind in mind to add to the challenge.
Tees- Level and lush coverage everywhere, simply put they were perfect.
Fairways- Very nice and provided great lies all day. Divots had been filled with Augusta white sand and there were not many of those to be found.
Rough- Similar to the Fazio, there is not much rough to speak of. Just about an inch longer than the fairways and consistent coverage throughout.
Bunkers- Beautiful red/brown volcanic color. Plenty of sand without being too soft. A pleasure to hit from. Watch out for the signature 17th hole. It seems as though there’s more bunkers than grass on that hole but man is it scenic! Get the cameras out folks!
Greens- Like the Fazio the greens were smooth and true but just so much slower than what I’m used to at home. Really had to give it a whack to get it to the hole, especially those against the grain.
Misc.- For the promo rate of $35 I would have played this course all day until I could no longer walk anymore! So for those of you planning to visit and play Turtle Bay be sure to check out the 36 hole rate that allows you to play both courses. One a full price and the other for the replay rate of only $35. Enjoy!
