This is in Half Moon Bay in northern California. There are two courses. The Ocean Course is a traditional links style course, right in the ocean (!!) with spectacular views. It's always very well maintained and you can stop by the Ritz Carlton afterward for the night or just dinner and a drink. It's a wonderful experience.

Went to a Callaway/Cadillac Golf Clinic there a couple of weeks ago... with Hunter Mahan and David Leadbetter. It was pretty sweet. The course was in great shape and the weather was gorgeous... See below:

It's amazing. It's my home course (I dumped Harding for it). The Old Course has a few really beautiful and challenging holes, but much of it is unremarkable except for it's highly maintained condition.

I am playing Half Moon Bay this Sunday. Playing the Ocean course at 7am and the Old course at 12:30p. Can't wait!
 
At sundown right off the 18th green a bagpiper comes out and plays. They have a nice bonfire and bar. Fantastic atmosphere!
 
I thought the Old Course was average, but really liked the Ocean Course. Thought someone was going to jack my wallet and phone from the cart while putting on #18 on each course though LOL
 
It is on my list to play--I played Harding Park and the Presidio, just because they were convenient.
 
Here are a couple pictures of the Ocean Course that I took earlier this year:

I played there two years ago and it is still one of my all time favorites. The sun set behind 18 as we finished and it was amazing.
 
Half Moon Bay is one of my favorite places in the world. The Ocean course is awesome; though the afternoon wind can be quite a challenge. Sitting by the fire pits and having a glass of wine as the sun goes down is as good as it gets.
