Hole 6 at Turtle Bay Resort (Fazio course)

Par 4 • 435 Yards • Kahuku, Hawaii

Enhanced Content

Tough

The sixth hole at Turtle Bay Resort's Fazio course presents a deceptively challenging straight par 4 that demands both power and precision across its 435 yards. This mid-length test features a generous fairway that invites an aggressive tee shot, but the real challenge awaits at the green complex. The approach shot must be carefully calculated to a small, demanding putting surface that punishes anything but the most accurate iron play. Without major hazards to distract, golfers can focus purely on execution and distance control. Set against Hawaii's stunning North Shore backdrop, this hole epitomizes Tom Fazio's design philosophy of strategic simplicity, where the challenge lies not in avoiding trouble, but in achieving the precision required to score well on a seemingly straightforward layout.

Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target your tee shot to land around 200 yards where the fairway is 33 yards wide, giving you optimal positioning while avoiding the bunker at 295.6 yards that guards the longer hitters' landing area.

approach

From a 200-yard tee shot position, you'll have approximately 235 yards remaining to a green that measures just 18 yards deep by 35 yards wide - club up and focus on distance control to avoid short-siding yourself.

hazard warning

Be aware of the greenside bunkers positioned at 418.7 and 411.5 yards - these guard the front and sides of the putting surface and will penalize approach shots that come up short or drift offline.

green

With only 3,336 square feet of putting surface, this is a relatively small target for a 435-yard par 4 - prioritize accuracy over distance on your approach and aim for the center of the green.

tee shot

Longer hitters should consider laying up short of the 295.6-yard bunker with a controlled tee shot, as the fairway actually widens to 36 yards at the 250-yard mark, providing a safer and wider landing area.
