It's an entirely man made island where there are activities like paddle board, group canoe, kayaking, volleyball, and lounging. The only downside with the water activities here is that is limited freedom on where one can go. Is say about 75 yards on each direction. Trust me on this, YOU WILL GET CALLED BACK. However it is for your safety. All of these come with a fee of course, but since work and I were there for a wedding, it was all paid for. There is no food provided, however you CAN BRING YOUR OWN FOOD AND DRINKS, provided there is no glass brought in. It's a great place for a little get away, from your little get away and I recommend to do this while on the island.

This was a good experience. I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday and we did have fun, but…read morethe whole experience also felt kind of awkward. The ATV ride itself was enjoyable. We drove around different trails, got to see nice views and some animals along the way, which was cool. We came about a month after the storms, so the scenery wasn't at its absolute best, but that's totally understandable and not a complaint at all. It is pretty expensive though, around $130 per person, and feeding the animals was an extra $10 for small pellets to feed the cows and goats. The views and experience were still nice, but for the price, we expected the overall service to feel a little more polished. The main thing that stood out was the guides. We had two guides and they were both really quiet and awkward. They didn't really explain much or try to interact with us, which made the vibe feel uncomfortable at times. My boyfriend and I even tried making conversation, but they just weren't very chatty. It honestly felt kind of tense the whole ride. At the end, things got even more awkward because one of the guides basically disappeared without saying goodbye or telling us what to do next. We were just standing there confused with our gear, not knowing where to put anything or whether we were supposed to check out somewhere. The other guide mentioned they had just started working there and wasn't sure what the next steps were either, which is understandable, but it still felt a little unprofessional considering how much the experience cost. Also, when booking, there was a section asking if we were celebrating anything, and I mentioned it was my boyfriend's birthday. We weren't expecting anything free or over-the-top, but it would've been nice if someone had at least acknowledged it since they specifically asked during booking. Overall, the ATV ride and scenery were fun, but the customer service and overall organization definitely could've been better for the price point.

The practice facility is good huge putting green separate short game/bunker practice green and real grass driving range which is included with your greens fees so get there a little early so you can warm up. The Fazio course is still closed and there is some construction (which do not affect the playing conditions, they are building condos in the background). Complementary bottle of water per player is included with your on cart mini cooler stocked with ice, ran into the beverage cart three times on each round so getting drinks and snacks on course was easy. For the price you will not get a better golfing experience on the island. Conditions were windy and the course was in great shape only a few patchy areas on the 18th fairway. Didn't get there early enough to eat lunch at Lei Lei's but I had been there many times and the food is really good.5 out of 5 stars no drama!

We went on a Monday and couldn't get a tee time until 2:00 because of an earlier tournament. The weather was a beautiful overcast day where we didn't have to worry about sunscreen. The 13th and 14th holes were along the coastline with views that make playing here worth it. The greens were super slow on this day and you could easily lose your ball in the rough, but it was a very enjoyable day with close friends. I will patiently wait for another chance to play there.

Accuracy is the name of the game at Kaneohe Klipper although it can help if you are are long hitter as some greens are pretty wide. But bring extra balls as if you hit OB it can be hard to track down your ball. The views on 13th are breath taking and its probably one of the best views on a golf course. Highly recommend if you can play here.

It's also pretty-challenging--but I played well and did a little fist pumping on more than a few holes as long putts ran true, a sand save was had, and 5 of the holes are now, "my beyaches" (meaning, I got a par on them). And, of course, TURTLE BAY is located in an exceptionally beautiful spot between the Ko'olau mountain range and the sea, Everyone on the staff that I interacted with-- from the customer service guys who first greet you and set up your clubs, to the refreshment cart girl, to the pro shop crew, to the maintenance guys working on the course-- even the staff in the adjoining restaurant (Lei Lei's) were exceptional in all ways. Everyone, during my visit, was super-welcoming, informative, professional, and exuded a genuinely warm and caring energy. I take my dad's old set of clubs out about once a year (he passed a few years ago), as this allows him and I to "metaphorically" play a round of 18 with each other again. I thought it appropriate to go somewhere kinda special for the occasion, and since Turtle Bay was on my "golf bucket-list" of places that hoped to try before hanging up my putter for good, this is where I headed. It goes without saying that am glad that I went. I don't want to brag, but..."Together", my dad and I may have set the course record... but then I had to play the back nine. (sorry, I had to slip in that dad joke). Even at the Kama'ina rate, It was a bit of a splurge (I am a public golf course/deal-finder kind of a guy), but every now and again, I feel that there is value in treating oneself to something nice. This was one such moment and it will be cherished and remembered fondly.

If you're a bogey golf visitor just go with the flow and don't worry about losing too many golf balls. Play and enjoy. The course condition, January 2025, is quite good. Fairway grass is nice texture and mowed well. The rough is not too punishing. There's lots of moguls, the terrain can be roly-poly on some holes. It's more interesting than fear inspiring. Putting greens are smooth, though not fast. I'd say the greens average 9 on the Stimp scale. Practice putting green is excellent condition. It's a good facsimile of the course. Driving range balls are included with the green fee. The balls are in excellent condition. Bag drop guys are friendly and helpful. Same with pro shop check in person. Pro shop is pretty basic. Mostly apparel. The good stuff. Luxe resort prices. Location is quite a schlep from Waikiki. Took us an hour to drive here. There are plenty of Honolulu area golf courses that are less expensive and just as much fun. But if you are staying in Turtle Bay, of course you must play here.
