点评:Turtle Bay's Arnold Palmer Course is the North Shore's most recognized championship layout — and it earns that standing.
Designed in 1992 by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, the course stretches 7,199 yards across a property with remarkable historical depth: portions of this land were used as a military installation during World War II, with holes 15-18 once serving as an airstrip.
Today, the layout surrounds the Punaho'olapa Marsh wetland preserve, home to endangered Hawaiian birds, and offers a contrasting front nine with links-style openness and a tighter, more forested back side. The par-3 17th, guarded by nine bunkers leading to a plateau green, is a signature moment.
The Smartgolfcourses team visited the resort and checked out the pro shop, practice facilities, and first tee area.
Ranked among Golf Digest's Top 100 Public Courses and host to both the LPGA and Champions Tour.
The North Shore drive is worth every minute.

翻译:龟湾的阿诺德·帕尔默球场是北岸最负盛名的锦标赛级球场——它当之无愧。
该球场由阿诺德·帕尔默和埃德·西伊于1992年设计,全长7199码,坐落于一片历史底蕴深厚的土地上:二战期间,这片土地的部分区域曾被用作军事设施,其中15至18号洞曾是简易机场。
如今,球场环绕着普纳霍奥拉帕沼泽湿地保护区,这里栖息着濒危的夏威夷鸟类。球场前九洞开阔通透,充满林克斯风格,而后九洞则更为紧凑,林木葱郁。第17洞是一个三杆洞,由九个沙坑守护,通往一个高地果岭,堪称球场的标志性景观。
Smartgolfcourses团队参观了这家度假村,并考察了专业商店、练习设施和第一发球台区域。
荣获《高尔夫文摘》百佳公共球场之一,并举办过LPGA巡回赛和冠军巡回赛。
驱车前往北岸,绝对不虚此行。
