Turtle Point Golf Course
The golf course at Turtle Point was one of Jack Nicklaus’ earlier creations after turning his hand to course design, but it has stood the test of time. The narrow fairways, small greens, close out-of-bounds and the tricky water hazards are indicative of the more traditional style of Turtle Point, the course is also pretty long – 7,061 yards – necessitating proficiency with the driver in terms of both length and accuracy.
Arguably as challenging as the more famous Ocean Course, Turtle Point comes highly recommended.
