Half Moon Bay Golf Links

Half Moon Bay Golf Links features 36 holes of championship golf along the San Mateo County coast of California. The Old Course, designed by Arnold Palmer, is an 18-hole traditional parkland layout that winds through mature cypress trees and culminates on a dramatic oceanfront bluff. This course blends strategic shot-making with panoramic views and is consistently ranked among Northern California's top public courses.

The Ocean Course, designed by Arthur Hills, offers true links-style golf overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Featuring wide fairways, native grasses, and panoramic ocean views from nearly every hole, the course presents both aesthetic beauty and significant challenge. The final stretch plays along coastal cliffs, providing memorable and demanding finishing holes.

Both courses are situated in a stunning coastal setting on the San Mateo County coast, offering fresh sea air and dramatic oceanfront scenery. The terrain and design create courses suitable for golfers of varying skill levels, though the Ocean Course's links-style layout and coastal cliff positioning present notable difficulty. The setting and views are defining characteristics, with whale watching opportunities adding to the experience.
