Course Guide
Talofofo golf course was designed by 9 legendary PGA players – including Sam Snead and Ben Hogan – with each golfer taking responsibility for the design of two holes. Later, Onward Group renovated it to a wonderful dream course; it was reborn, with Island Green No.5, in December 2006.
Enjoy dramatic play throughout this Onward Talofofo Golf Club designed for you by professional golfers.
Out Course
The flat and American-style out-course, with tropical flowers and island greens reflected on the surface of the waters, makes for a wholly enjoyable resort-golfing experience.
