Half Moon Bay Golf Links (Ocean)

Half Moon Bay Golf Links (Ocean) sits on a bluff above the Pacific in Half Moon Bay, California, with sea views present at every one of its 18 holes. Designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 1997, the course follows a traditional links style, with firm and fast fairways, wispy native grasses framing the tees, and an exposed, windswept character that calls back to the game's Scottish roots. Weekend sundown even brings bagpipers to the course. The finishing stretch — the final four holes — is widely regarded as one of the strongest closing sequences in the game. It is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in California, rated 4.7 by those who have played it.
