Turtle Bay Golf Course

Monday, September 5th, 2011


Site of the PGA TOUR Champion’s Tour Turtle Bay Championship, The Arnold Palmer Course is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay. The unique Hawaii golf course was created for any caliber of golfer to enjoy. When played from the Palmer (black) tees, the course will offer a stern challenge to the best players in the world. However, there are five sets of tees on each hole, and in some cases, six.

It is also varied in its scenery. The front nine of this course reminds golfers of true Scottish Links with its sand, water, wind and rolling terrain. The back nine takes a dramatic shift as it meanders through a jungle forest of ironwood pine and a wetlands bird sanctuary. The 17th hole is unquestionably the signature hole on the course with no less than nine craggy bunkers surrounding the landing area and extending all the way up to the green. The 17th green sits on a plateau only 100 feet from the ocean.

Miniature Golf With Family

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

If you want to do something that everyone will enjoy, while getting a little exercise, why not give miniature golf a try. It’s a great way to spend time with your family, and reconnect with the people you care about. Miniature golf offers fun and good natured competitiveness. Many courses are a definite challenge, but will give you a sense of accomplishment when you finally get through them. But one thing that remains consistent about them all; they bring fun and entertainment to the player. Some courses are more easily beaten than others, but those that are more difficult will give you a greater sense of achievement once you’ve successfully navigated them. You may have to play a few courses to find the one that’s right for you, or do a little investigation to find your perfect game.

Miniature golf is no exception! You can browse the internet to find the right miniature golf course for your needs. Finding a site that compares local miniature golf courses and their skill levels is simple; just direct your browser to your favorite search engine. Not all miniature golf courses are created equally. It’s best to do a little research before you take young children miniature golfing. So that everyone enjoys themselves, it’s important to make sure the course of your choice is not too difficult or too easy for your miniature golfing party. You can be sure you’ve found a good place to play miniature golf if they have something for every skill level. Typically, the first shot will be much easier than the last, and everyone in between will get progressively more difficult. The reason for this is so that everyone gets the opportunity to find their miniature golfing groove. It’s like a warm up. You should take your time with each shot and inevitably you will get better as you work your way through the course.

Miniature golf is amusing fun for the entire family, not just to play, but to watch others play as well. The best courses offer interesting looking shots and merry accompaniments. Some will look much like fairs and carnivals, with oversized moving parts, little ponds and lights that twinkle at night. No miniature golf course would be complete with a windmill. These kinds of decorations will make the course stand out and provide fun and lively entertainment and conversation.
