Baylands Golf Links
Palo Alto, CA — Baylands Golf Links, Palo Alto's revived muni run by O.B. Sports, has become a part of my regular playing rotation since reopening in 2018 after a seven-year, $12-million redesign by Forrest Richardson. With five par 5s and five par 3s, and plenty of room to spray it in the ever-present wind, it's a fun walk. Its links characteristics are somewhat mitigated by the Seashore Paspalum turf, a grabby style of grass that doesn't cater to bump-and-run shots.

The Old Course at Half Moon Bay Golf Links, an American classic designed by Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane and opened in 1973, embodies Palmer's iconic coastal parkland design philosophy. The course winds through mature cypress trees, featuring challenging dog-legs, multiple water hazards, and tree-lined fairways that reward strategic play over brute force. Its dramatic setting culminates in the renowned 18th hole, a 405-yard par-four stunner framed by the Pacific Ocean, consistently ranked among golf's best finishing holes. This parkland-style layout has hosted numerous U.S. Open Qualifiers, testing every facet of a golfer's game. Beyond the challenge, the course offers a memorable experience with its pristine conditions and breathtaking ocean views, particularly on the back nine. Playing the Old Course is an opportunity to walk in the footsteps of legends and experience a timeless design that seamlessly blends natural beauty with strategic golf, making it a must-play for those seeking a classic coastal golf adventure.
