Half Moon Bay Golf Links

Regally set on the California coastline, equidistant from San Francisco and Silicon Valley, is one of Northern California’s only luxury golf resorts. On the bluffs of the Pacific Ocean, just 19 miles from San Francisco International Airport and 45 minutes from San Jose International Airport, this Half Moon Bay enclave – home to Half Moon Bay Golf Links and The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay -- radiates stately ambiance with a Georgian revival estate and 36 holes of oceanfront golf. Here, gentle ocean breezes inspire the senses and the game. Here at Half Moon Bay Golf Links, we pay homage to the traditional spirit that founded the sport hundreds of years ago, while incorporating the technology of new age golf. Banked by the natural wonders of Northern California's Pacific Coastline and the Cypress trees that line the natural bluff top landscape — Half Moon Golf Links uniquely combines the human need for challenge, competition and connection with nature. As the mist clears off the greens each morning, wildlife awakens to breathtaking ocean views -- birds chirp, deers graze, the dew melts and the day begins. It is a true rarity to find two world renowned golf courses - sisters by location, yet distinguishably different in design. With sweeping 180-degree ocean vistas on the finish and natural terrain that stretches from pines to cliff edge, these two internationally celebrated Bay Area golf courses offer uniquely different experiences. From the firm and fast links style of the Ocean Course to the American traditional parkland style of the Old Course, with iconic cypress trees, dogleg fairways and distinguishing edges all leading to the most photographed final hole in golf – golfers are guaranteed a landscape that provides inspiration every time. Ideal playing conditions, salty breezes and enchanting coastal terrain put these two 18-hole championship Half Moon Bay golf courses on a par with Scotland’s greatest. www.halfmoonbaygolf.com
