PCCA Golf Tournament: Turtle Bay Arnold Palmer Course 12 - 6 pm Designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay, the Turtle Bay Arnold Palmer Course was rated one of Golf Magazine’s “Top 10 New Courses” in America and ranked 4th among Golf Digest’s “Best New Resort Courses in America” when it opened in 1992. Today, the course is consistently ranked the #1 Public Access Golf Course on O’ahu. It features two very distinct experiences. The front nine will challenge golfers with a Scottish Links style layout, while the back nine has a more tropical setting as it winds through verdant landscapes. The course forms a horseshoe around the Punaho’olapa marsh, an unspoiled 100acre wetland and bird sanctuary. Water comes into play on 14 holes. The signature 17th hole offers panoramic ocean views from the green while the hole is dotted with nine bunkers, which makes it as challenging as it is scenic. This par 72 course measures 6,225 yards from the resort tees. When played from the Palmer (black) tees, this 7,218yard seaside course presents a stiff challenge to even the best players. Sand traps are plentiful, with more than 70 menacing the fairways and protecting the greens. However, there are five sets of tees on each hole that provide an enjoyable experience for golfers of any ability. $280 includes cart, box lunch & taxes. Rental clubs: $80 including tax. Segway Tour All Afternoon Choose between 1:30 or 2:30 pm tour times. See details on Sunday. $174 per person includes 45-minute Segway tour, guide, taxes & gratuities. Stand-up Paddle Experience 1:30 - 3 pm Glide across the calm waters on a stand-up paddle board with a group lesson for the PCCA crew. Opt for a fun ride on a SUP Squatch or find your balance with SUP Yoga. All skill levels welcome. $149 per person includes 1 hour lesson, rash guard, reef shoes, group photo, taxes & gratuities.
