Half Moon Bay Golf Links – Ocean |
|
(Attractions & Activities - Golf Courses) |
|
2000 Fairway Dr, Half Moon Bay 94019 • 650-726-4438
|
|
Distance:
~22.80 mi * |
|
|
|
|
| |
Description:
HALF MOON BAY. This Arthur Hills course is a true Scottish links-style course with wide, rolling fairways that often serve up uneven lies. Trouble comes in the form of well-placed fairway and greenside bunkers and tall, wispy grasses that make shots out of the rough very challenging. These greens are average in size but very demanding. With most holes running along the coast and very few trees to provide protection, the wind can wreak havoc on even the smallest mistake. Of course, the scenery is something to brag about, even if your score is not. |

Description:
SANTA CRUZ. The home of Alister MacKenzie, one of golf's most distinguished architects, this course overlooking Monterey Bay is a masterpiece. The biggest challenge lies in the barranca that winds throughout the course. With several holes requiring that you cross the hazard, penalty shots can add up if you're not hitting the ball well. |

Description:
PEBBLE BEACH. A must-play for every avid golfer! Often tagged as the best course in the world, these narrow fairways and even smaller greens will make your knees shake. This course strikes fear into the best golfers, since the deep rough and unpredictable wind play mind games with players not hitting the ball straight. Magnificent vistas can be found throughout, thanks to the dramatic elevation on several holes. Lining the Pacific Ocean, the finishing hole is one of golf's most famous. |

Description:
PEBBLE BEACH. The Shore Course is more wooded than its sister course and also has the added dangers of numerous bunkers and dense, tree-lined fairways. Also located in beautiful Pebble Beach. The two-hour drive is well worth the trip to see this beauty. While several holes run alongside the ocean, the majority of the course is situated more inland. |
