Turtle Bay (Fazio)
Turtle Bay Resort (George Fazio course): COURSE CLOSED IN 2020 during the Covid pandemic, without a set time to reopen. Check status before planning a visit. The resort's Palmer course remains open for play.
[Original Where2Golf description]: The Turtle Bay Resort is home to two 18-hole championship golf courses, the highly-ranked Palmer course and the also well-rated and popular George Fazio course.
The Fazio layout, generally considered the more forgiving of the two courses, is a tree-lined and open parkland course that should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy.
The Fazio course meanders among traditional Hawaiian palms, skirting Oahu's fabled North Shore, with one or two oceanside holes. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course. One to include on your play list if you are in Ohua.
Stay&Play at Turtle Bay: luxury onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.
Course closed in 2020; unknown if and when it will reopen.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
