The best golf courses in Palo Alto, California

“Beautiful, some really interesting green surrounds but doesn’t rate for me. No cohesive flow to the routing and it plays extremely short with unfair results on many tee shots”

“For $260, Half Moon Bay’s Ocean Course is worth every cent. Nearly every hole opens up to the Pacific, and the generous fairways make it as fun as it is scenic.”

“Old school hidden gem with lots of charm and quirk - originally laid out by Seth Raynor, and my understanding is that Jay Blasi is going to do a restoration next year. Maybe 4-5 drivers all day, insanely small and undulated greens, and funky routing that crosses lines of play.”

“The reason you might still choose to play Old over Ocean - is 18. It might be the best finishing hole I’ve ever played. A downhill tee shot feeds into a drop-off around 260 yards before leaving you with an intimidating 190-yard uphill anpproach into the wind.”

“Muni designed by Alister MacKenzie. Conditions are a bit rough though the greens are always in pretty good shape.”

“Right next to Oakland airport cool to have planes fly over. Super cheap to walk especially for Oakland residents. Greens are in good shape, back tee boxes are like fluffy not a huge fan of them but the course is almost always getting gusty and makes for some of the holes to be really challenging.”

“Sneaky hard, front nine asks for a lot of tough tee shots. Greens are bad, not consistent semi punched always. At least that’s what it feels like. Gonna be hard to find better views from some of the spots on the course.”

“Fun links style. Play early. Afternoon windy and this might be the only place in the Bay Area that has mosquitoes.”
