Day 1: Golf Half Moon Bay


Half Moon Bay Golf Links features 36 holes of grand golf. The complex offers two beautifully designed courses set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, which consist of The Old Course and The Ocean Course. These two courses are very different in style; however they both share a common beauty that will take anyone’s breath away.
The Old Course is an 18 hole championship course that brings you through and around the private community of Ocean Colony that features small ponds, large pines, and the Pacific bluffs. The Old Course dramatically caps off with the 17th and 18th holes. The 17th hole is a short par 3, where the Pacific Ocean comes into full panoramic view on the horizon. The view only sets up what is to come- the 18th hole. This hole is world famous and is a great way to finish a round in Half Moon Bay. The backdrop is the elegantly architectural designed Ritz Carlton that sits right above the bluffs of the Pacific. To the right of the 18th, powerful waves crash with furious power creating a salty mist that you can feel, and creates an art in motion that you will remember. These finishing holes will only add to the beauty and experience that the Old Course has to offer.
The Ocean Course is entirely different in style than the American designed Old Course, but shares beauty and elegance in the same. The Ocean Course has a link’s layout with a true Scottish design and feeling. The Course will give players a view of the Pacific Ocean and the bluffs from every hole on the course. It is the 16th, 17th, and 18th holes on the Oceans lineup against the red colored bluffs to your left, which makes these holes instant classics. The Ocean Course is a getaway from a getaway in itself.
The Golf Course at Half Moon Bay is a fun activity for the day, and will not disappoint visitors or locals alike. All holes on the golf course are well maintained, and the greens play fairly fast at different points of the year. The staff makes sure things move along, so a round under 4 ½ hours should not be a problem.The course will always bring superior customer service, high ranked golf holes, and some of the most breath taking views in the world.
