Half Moon Bay Golf Links - The Old Course

Few stretches of Northern California coastline hit quite as hard as the bluffs above Half Moon Bay, where the Pacific delivers a persistent, humbling wind that no handicap index fully prepares you for. The Old Course at Half Moon Bay Golf Links — the original of the property's 2 layouts — was designed by Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane and opened in 1973, routing inland through the coastal scrub before delivering players to clifftop finishing holes that rank among the most dramatic in California golf. The 18th, playing along the bluff's edge with the ocean as its backdrop, is the kind of hole that gets remembered long after the scorecard is lost.
