Overpriced, underwhelmed

Aside from the greens there is nothing even average about this course.

The rough and fairways are a mixture of Bermuda grass, St Augustine and weeds. There are so many spots in the fairways and around the carpaths that have been worn away and are just dirt. There is zero value in playing this course. I had to ask my playing partner a couple of times if there were bunkers or if in front of the green. There weren’t. It was unmarked ground under repair that was just random sand in front and to the side of the green.

The locker room seems like it is from 1970’s. There was no starter working, nor was there a beverage service on the course. The bunkers this time were actually in decent shape as they are preparing for a tournament. Normally they are washed out and filled with rocks and the edges have no sand.

The other patrons do not know basic rules and/or courtesies of golf. Bunkers are not raked. Divots are not repaired. Carts are driven too close to tee boxes and greens.

Several tee boxes are uneven and chewed up with divots that look like no one tried to repair or replace their divot.

The cost is outrageous for what it is.

If you are looking to play in town walk on at Memorial.

Turtle Bay - Palmer Course

The Palmer Course at Turtle Bay is one of the best courses in the country that anyone can play and actually book a tee time. The fairways are like carpet and the greens are consistent from hole to hole. The winds vary from hole to hole adding another level of difficulty. The course layout and pin placements make this a tough course for beginners. However if you know where your shots are going this course is very playable. There is no clubhouse once out on the course so get any snacks or beverages before you head to the first hole. We only saw the snack cart two times. The staff and employees were very helpful and friendly. The course does a great job of getting you lost in the wilderness of Oahu's North Shore after the third hole and there are a few holes where you see the ocean.
