Half Moon Bay Golf Links

One of the best courses in the Bay Area. The old course (Arnold Palmer course) is a beautiful parkland style course and my favorite! It’s a very well kept course with great challenges through out. Greens are fast and well kept, it’s a great course to test your repertoire. The ocean course is a classic links style course with gorgeous views on almost every hole. The staff is very welcoming and it never disappoints. Take your out of town friends and business colleagues to the ocean course….but the old course is the real course for golf. 😬

Half Moon Bay is my favorite golf course. It has 36 holes—an Old Course and an Ocean Course. Their hot dogs are the best. I love everything about it, except for one thing: on both 18th holes, tourists often walk onto the fairway. I've had several close calls where I almost hit someone. If someone gets hit there, who is responsible? The golfer? The golf course for not keeping people off the fairway? Or the tourist who got hit while taking photos?

I played the Ocean Course, and it’s one of the most beautiful links courses ever! The fairways and greens are pretty wide, and the course is nicely designed. It looks like the greens were punched a few days ago, and some bunkers hadn’t fully drained after the storm, so I couldn’t fully enjoy the round. Still, this is a must-play course—it really gave me the feeling of being in Scotland. Since the course was undergoing aerification, there was a discounted green fee. I only paid $120 for a Saturday 12 PM tee time.
