    Cant' drag me off this course.
    Jane D.

    HMB is absolutely one of the very the BEST golfing experiences you can have. Parking, easy for a resort course and valet if your into that. Pro shop... friendly staff and starters and the shop itself is stocked full of merch including Sunday Red. Snack bar for the grab and go folks and a restaurant that has specials daily with live music with bar seating looking out at the pacific! Two completely different course set ups can be found in the old and ocean 18s with the finishing hole on the old course being iconic. I recently reviewed another venue with wind that hampered my golfing day and yes. Depending on the day and the hour your out here, there will likely be some blowing. However, it is completely playable, actually it's pretty fun working your ball around the place on a course set up next to the Pacific where you'd expect to have gusts so a two club breeze is just that... completely acceptable. Love his place and would play it every week, green fee's are not offensive either when you consider what neighbors down the road on the Monterey Peninsula are charging these days. Spanish bay remodel is rumored to be over$650.00 PP when completed. I'm sorry but as a local, I'd rather play HMB hands down, save the cash and commute headache and you should too!

    Stop reading reviews, just play. You won't regret. That's all I can say.

    Stop reading reviews and book the tee time. Great course, great challenge, and I can't wait to go back

    Played the ocean course. Stunning views. Wide open fields that go on forever. No houses along the fairways. Feels like Europe somewhere. It was so cold at 8am in November. Club rentals $75 come with sleeve of balls, but if you're a higher handicapper, bring more balls because the rough/bushes will take your balls. Highly recommend! I've played many ocean courses in Hawaii (Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani, Wailea, Turtle Bay, Kaneohe Klipper), but THIS COURSE was breathtaking in a whole new way.

    Lost Kirkland Pitching Wedge from the Ocean Course! Please let me know if you may have accidentally picked it up. Thank you so much. This course was beautiful. We got really lucky with beautiful views and weather on a Sunday tee time 3 weeks ago. I will definitely be coming back and hope the weather was even half as good as it was when I played.

    Half Moon Bay Golf Course is my favorite golf course so far. With the sea breeze blowing and the green grass, every moment of swinging here feels like a vacation.

    I played the ocean course and my oh my.. what a beautiful course with amazing views. When we tee'ed off, it was foggy and I was a bit worried but by the back 9, sky cleared up and beautiful views.

    Amazing Golf Course and views. Very well maintained. I would suggest starting earlier as it gets dark during the winter around 5pm so you'll be playing in pitch black. The driving carts are awesome as there's a screen with yards to hole. Pair that up with that nice ocean breeze, perfect! I need to come back here again ASAP!!

    Played the ocean course and couldn't have been happier. It was dreary and felt like a day in Ireland on the links. The entire course was in great condition, the greens were fast, and the views (especially on the back nine) were spectacular. The course had its fair share of up and down as well as blind shots (a few too many for my liking). The fairways gave ample room for tee shots but could be punished by fescue and bushes for errant shots. Playing up the cart path side of each hole gave you a good angle to the various greens. The starters and marshalls were very pleasant and helpful. Holes 15-18 were truly world class and provided great views of the pacific. Only bummer is no driving range. Based on other reviews went to Ocean View public driving range b4 tee time but it was terrible & wouldn't recommend.

    The second time I've had the privilege of playing this beautiful course. Half moon bay golf links is truly in amazing shape right now, seamless experience from the bag check in to the first hole. The only downside is that it does not have a driving range but the chipping, and putting area is well kept and pretty big. Huge thanks to Nate Hillman for the tips on the driving ranges around the area, knowledge of the golf course, and of course his kindness and hospitality made the day extra special. Can't wait to come and play again.

    First time golfing at Half Moon Bay Golf Links Ocean Course. Grounds were beautiful and maintained. Hit into lots of bunkers and if you didn't hit the fairway, then the sides were long grass and couldn't find my ball! We purchased the once a year Golf Moose coupon to play Half Moon Bay Golf. Glad we did and would like to try the other course next time. The scenery itself is worth it. Hope to be back to golf this course again.

    Save your money if golf in Scotland is a goal. Bag pipe sunset serenades, cool (ok...freaking cold ocean breezes); the course with moguls of green, undulating endlessly hugging up to the rugged pacific coastline, looking out west over the expanse of grey and white chop, the thought that Hawaii is somewhere out there would never enter your head. With a thick marine layer obscuring the location of the sun, it's more like your view is east, off the North Sea and venturing off the coast will land you in Norway Denmark or the Netherlands. The south course challenges your skills at every corner. However as long as you hit it straight you can score pretty well. (I was 12 inches from an eagle on #8 par 5) The cool weather wreaked havoc on the cart batteries as may were dead by 14th hole. The staff was really scrambling to keep up. But they were quick accommodating, under the circumstances. FYI the club house closes at 7 and the Hotel only serves guests of the resort. So either get done early or bring some thing to eat, the hit at the 10th hole was closed. We only saw the refreshment cart once on the 15th hole

    Today the four of us redeemed our Golf Moose vouchers. The voucher was valid for either the ocean course and the old course. Last year we played the ocean course so we decided we'd play the the old course. I called the pro shop to make tee time and had to leave my credit card information. Tee time was 8:45am today, but the starter allowed us to start at 8:30am behind a foursome. Weather wise it was overcast and chilly. I had four layers on. And kept four layers on for 18 holes. It wasn't until we rounded the corner to the 17th hole that we felt the ocean breeze. At that point we were facing the Pacific Ocean. It's true about the 18th hole. A spectacular view of the Ritz Carlton hotel and the Pacific Ocean. The 18th hole is a par four cart path only. Now that I've had a chance to play both the ocean course and the old course I'd be satisfied with playing either. It appears the ocean course is more popular. Today anyway.

She is both our hero and our angel…read more Our daughter and her now husband (both developmentally delayed) had a special dream--they wanted a Disney Frozen fairytale wedding. I called AR Weddings N Events one evening around 8:30 PM and AnnaMarie answered - first try! From this first call, I knew in my heart that I found the most amazing wedding coordinator. AnnaMarie is responsive, punctual, resourceful, flexible, kind, and compassionate. And of great importance, she is calm and creates calmness around her. I was clueless in terms of what is needed for a seamless and successful wedding, and AnnaMarie proceeded to explain all of the moving pieces in a wedding puzzle. Her vendors are amazing too -- DJ, flowers, photography, videography, and "Date Of"coordinators--all extremely professional, kind, and caring. AnnaMarie helped with every imaginable detail: color coordination, decor, rentals, dinner service, balloons, photo backdrop, and more. She helped us with a wedding timeline that made sense and kept the guests happy and entertained. She also helped with cleanup and made sure we got our full venue deposit back. On the day of the wedding, any time I thought of something and instinctively started to do it (I'm a mother!!), one of her coordinators would swiftly intercept me and say, "I've got this," and send me back to enjoy our guests. She and her team took care of EVERYTHING--all with smiles, compassion, and warmth. The wedding was magical and beautiful--so many guests said they were in AWE and that our wedding was one of the best (if not THE BEST) wedding they've ever attended. Thank you AnnaMarie and the entire AR Weddings N Events family for making our very special daughter's Disney Frozen dream wedding come true--down to the last snowflake! We love you!

She and her team were consistently professional and most importantly she is a great listener! She helped us make our wedding not only perfect for our guests but also for us!

It also meant so much to us that she took care of delivering our marriage license to the city hall clerks and even provided a tracking number for added security. The ceremony she delivered was absolutely beautiful. We loved her questionnaires and the way she used them to craft something so personal and meaningful. She really took the time to get to know us as a couple, which made the ceremony feel authentic and special. On top of that, she brought such a fun, warm energy while still respecting everything we wanted for our wedding. We highly recommend Saundra to anyone looking for an officiant who is caring, organized, and truly dedicated to making your day unforgettable. Saundra, thank you so much for everything you did for us. We are incredibly grateful for your support and for helping make our wedding day so special.
