- Old Course
- Half Moon Bay Golf Links – Old Course Opening in 1973, The Old Course is an American classic designed by Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane. A lush parkland design, it features distinguishing edges and corridor views of the Pacific. The course includes several challenging dog-legs, multiple water hazards and tree-lined fairways which rewards the strategic player over long-hitters. With 5 tees to choose from however, you can choose how difficult the course plays. Favorites include the opening par-five, the Ritz-Carlton backed number 9 and the final four holes ending at the turn between hole 17 and 18 known as “Palmer Corner.” The finishing hole is the postcard photo and one of golf’s highest ranked holes in the country—a 405-yard par-four stunner framed by the blue Pacific. This parkland-style golf course has played host to numerous U.S. Open Qualifiers and will test all facets of your game.
- Holes 18 / Par 72 / Length 7001 yards.
- Ocean Course
- Half Moon Bay Golf Links – Ocean Course Opening in 1997, this unique course was designed by renowned golf architect Arthur Hills in traditional “Links style” design. You’ll find firm, wide open fairways bordered by wispy native grasses and seasonal wildflowers. The changes in elevation adds drama, as does the prevailing on-shore winds, coastal fog and jaw-dropping sunsets. Many large bunker complexes are shared by opposing holes and the undulating greens provide plenty of short-game challenges. As is traditional in Links golf, you’ll leave the clubhouse on the first hole and not return until hole 18. While views of the Pacific can be found on nearly every hole, it is the final three holes that truly set the course apart. From an elevated perch, the 16th hole kicks off the oceanside homestretch with magnificent views in all directions. This challenging par-four leads to the blufftop 17th, which some compare to Pebble Beach’s famous 7th. Take a moment to enjoy the surroundings before hitting to an elegantly placed green just steps from one of the Bay Area’s most beautiful beaches. Finally, after teeing off over Cañada Verde Creek canyon, you’ll finish on the oceanside 18th hole to the base of the incomparable Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay. Time it right and you’ll hear the sound of traditional Scottish bagpipes lead you to the clubhouse as the sun sets.
- Holes 18 / Par 72 / Length 6649 yards.
March 13, 2024 – Ocean Course
It’s the perfect coast view at Half Moon bay!! Excellently beautiful ocean view, the castle style building makes the atmosphere like Scotland. The course is tough, we played Ocean course today, the up and down slope, the dogleg layout and water hazards, all factors are setup strategically. The rough lawns is so long and it’s challenge to find the ball if it in there. Perhaps, the most impacted factor is sea breeze. The strong wind push and back the ball.
Unfortunately the fairway was very wet and muddy by seasonal reason, plus caused by location, beside of ocean. Even I could keep my ball on the fairway, the ball dug into the ground, the driver shot is still ok, but the high ball like Iron shot is very risky. So I lost 2 balls even my ball was dropped on the fairway.
46 50 96, the score is bullshit, but I’m really happy I could play here today, it’s unforgettable experience.
