Seven scenic courses — Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer designs in a tropical Pacific setting
Guam has seven golf courses — an impressive number for a small Pacific island — including designs by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, and legendary PGA players Sam Snead and Ben Hogan. LeoPalace Golf Resort in central Guam is the showpiece: 36 holes across two championship courses designed by Nicklaus and Palmer set against the island's tropical interior. Sonofelice Country Club in Mangilao (designed by Nelson & Haworth, 6,904 yards) is widely considered to have one of the most scenic holes in the Pacific. The Country Club of the Pacific in Yona plays to 7,450 yards at par 72. Talofofo Golf Course was designed by a committee of nine PGA legends including Sam Snead and Ben Hogan. Most courses are 20–35 minutes from Tumon hotels by car.

LeoPalace Golf Resort in Yona is Guam's flagship golf destination — two 18-hole championship courses (the Cesta Course designed by Jack Nicklaus and the Magnolia Course by Arnold Palmer) winding through the island's lush tropical interior, accompanied by a full practice facility and resort accommodation. Sonofelice Country Club in Mangilao is consistently rated among the most scenic Pacific island courses, with dramatic ocean views on multiple holes and a well-maintained layout at 6,904 yards. The Country Club of the Pacific stretches to 7,450 yards at par 72 — the longest and most challenging course on the island. Talofofo Golf Course occupies a dramatic clifftop location in the south. Military facilities at Andersen Air Force Base and Naval Station Guam are accessible to active-duty personnel and their guests.
Most Guam golf courses are 20–40 minutes from Tumon by rental car — a car is essentially mandatory for golfers. Green fees range from $80–$180 for 18 holes depending on the course and time of day; twilight rates after 3 PM offer significant savings. Equipment rental (clubs, shoes, push carts) is available at all major courses. Tee times can generally be booked same-day during weekdays outside peak season; weekends and peak season (December–March) warrant advance booking. Morning rounds are strongly recommended from November through April — afternoon play can be disrupted by tropical showers. Golf packages combining accommodation at LeoPalace Resort with multi-round tee times represent the best value for dedicated golfers.
