Great course, great round👏 thanks for sharing. I’ve hit 3w on #12 more than once - the exposure of the course when the wind blows is brutal. 16-18 is such a beautiful finishing stretch when it’s sunny. Hotel is excellent as well - especially on an expense account 🤩
@@WisconsinMinnesotaGolf The main part has some great courses (Arcadia, Garland, Forest Dunes, etc.) I saw your video at Riverside GC in Manistique that course looked good
@@buffaloben15golf88 those are certainly on the list. I'm hoping to do a video out at Sweetgrass this year, maybe some of the other courses in that ownership group too.
Ahhh the golf God giveth hole 7. The golf gods taketh back plus interest the next hole. Keep up the great work and remember this putting mantra " putt through the ball" even at short range.
You have to play the Links at Bodega Harbor. Not quite as nice of a course, but incredible views and very good prices. I’d check it out if your still in Northern California.
What a cool course. That last camera shot with the clubhouse to the side, and the sun peeking through the swirling clouds over the Pacific, beautiful. Could be a stock computer wallpaper
I really enjoy your videos. You allow us to enjoy the round with you (well, we enjoy them :} ). Your commentary mimics your demeanor. I try to take golf in stride and you continue to give me hope all is well if we get out of our own way.
Nice birdie putt on 7 and amazing on 10. Beautiful golf course and great round. Have to add this one to my bucket list to play. Look forward to the next one.
Thanks Gernot! I definitely recommend it + a full day on the coast near here. Endless beautiful coastline and great restaurants, too. The green fees at HMB can vary from 100 and change to 250+, so it’s worth calling ahead and asking how to get the best rate.
Great video> Way to turn it around on the inward nine. Loved the way this course looked. If not for the two bad holes on the front would have been a super solid round.
This is my home course and I play there all the time. The links style ocean course is fun but not hard or very challenging. You should go play the Old Course it is park style through the houses and some ponds. Great video tho cool to watch someone play a course I’m on a lot. You’d probably play even better if you played the course again and knew some of the tricks and spots to miss
The ocean course can be challenging when the wind's blowing. Played there last December with a 20+ mph off shore wind, hole 14 was playing 100 yards longer, and with rain the day before, it was an all carry affair.
Only +2 without holes 1 & 8! That’s a pretty insane round, my dude! This course looks phenomenal, does it always look so heavenly? Or did you get lucky with good lighting/clouds that day? Love your content, Adam. I must have watched well over 20 rounds of yours. Would love to get out on the course with ya sometime in Van!
Thanks, Aaron. That course really is a gem. Moreover, that stretch of coastline (they call it "the slow coast") is my favorite place on Earth. I can't believe I was lucky enough to live there when I worked in the Bay Area and it's a shame that I had to move away when my health issue cropped up. The weather on the coastline there isn't always perfect (in fact, it can get socked in with fog at certain times of season), but I find it beautiful 12 months of the year in any case. Appreciate the kind words and I'm always down to get out for a round in Van...once the weather improves, anyway. I've been slated to play a couple of times in the last week and have bailed on account of the near-freezing temps. My rule is that I won't play if the temperature drops below my handicap index :p
I was lucky to grow up in Pacifica,Ca. It’s about 15 miles away right up Highway 1 along the coast from Half Moon Bay. During high school our league had Half Moon Bay as the course we played our league finals. It was the old course not the newer ocean course he’s playing here. Both are a treat to play and everyone should try to play there if they find themselves in the Bay Area. We used to call it the poor man’s Pebble Beach. What it costs to play there now it’s like the doing better than the average man’s Pebble Beach.
Thanks, George! I just film on my phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max) mounted on a portable tripod. Recently I started using DJI wireless mics, as well (formerly used Rode Wireless Go mics).
I’ve only played golf for a year, but it didn’t take much to realize how amazing of a course Half Moon Bay is - my favorite course I’ve ever played by far!! Shot an 86, which is pretty good for me :) love your channel so much!
True, thanks for adding this. Do you have a preference between the two? I found that people were very divided on this. I'll take the Ocean all day. Perhaps the Old Course is more of a classic parkland layout, but I don't need a $200+ green fee for a house-lined parkland course when the Ocean is only a few feet away from me, although obviously the closing stretch on the Old Course is spectacular. *Prepares to be peppered with insults for defaming the reputation of the Old Course*
@@NotAScratchGolfer, I've been lucky to have played the Ocean Course 5 or 6 times.. The Old Course just once.. But the Old Course is so classic, with great holes, and quality elevation changes.. And the last 3 holes are a stage, for sure... That 2nd shot on 18 is the best... If I had to pick one to play, I'll take the Old Course... I love both tracks, but it's the Old Course for me.. BTW, your videos are great.. Simply real, and 100% relatable... Enjoy your golf journey on the Left Coast...
Lol there's literally a puddle in that bunker on the 2nd hole. I wouldve just played it as ground under repair. Don't need to force yourself to hit out of the mud lol

You’re telling me you’re going to break 80 starting double, bogey? I’m hooked haha
Makes a triple too!
Hey Griff I love your channel you should play in Michigan more often
@@buffaloben15golf88 I'm in the UP about half a dozen times a year! Would love to play in the main part of the state too.

Good putting got you out of trouble, superb back nine. Well played sir.
Been subscribed since 3k, your drive has gotten great since then
Nice putting!!

Looks amazing brother next time im comeing 🤘
Some of those long putts were a dream...nice round Adam!
Lovely round Adam!
Outstanding!
Thank you for sharing the great course, views, and non-scratch golf.

AMAZING! Handful of my bucket list courses are in that part of the state. Can’t wait to see your Pebble Beach video
Love the shoes! Great scramble game!!
Love your channel! Moving back to Vancouver soon - after only picking up golf recently can’t wait to hit the west coast courses. Keep up the good work
Dude, i stumbled onto your channel and absolutely love it!!! Keep up the great work.🤙
GG and beautiful course!

Amazing Adam!
Solid round Adam! I loved playing this course. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
My favorite course, wonderful!
Beautiful course. Solid round
Playing here this Saturday and been playing well lately, shot an 81,79,81 on the last 3 rounds! I’m so stoked for this 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Fantastic,some gorgeous golf holes with 16 thru 18 on another level. Really enjoying your channel,nice1.
Wow! Stunning course and what a round!
What a beautiful looking course!! Nice round Adam!!
Those final 3 holes look insane
they are quite spectacular
Great Video as usual Adam! Broke my driver last round i played, looks like im going to get a lot of practice with my 3 wood. 😅😅

Great golf on a wonderful course 👍⛳
you didn't circle one of your birdies. Wish I could go play in Cali, BC is too wet to play.
he got a par, just put the wrong number on the virtual scorecard. Still scored a 79 tho
The old course is much more scenic and fun to play.
You said in the previous video that you were gaming the Mizunos for the last time. Which irons did you switch to, presumably for this video?
I’ll be there in April… grats
What a beautiful track.
How did you get that score template on your video?
Enjoy your videos a lot. What’s the equipment that you recorded your shots?
Thanks, George! I just film on my phone (iPhone 12 Pro Max) mounted on a portable tripod. Recently I started using DJI wireless mics, as well (formerly used Rode Wireless Go mics).
Why did you hit out of that bunker full of water? Isn't that ground under repair? Love your videos
What a beautiful course
Do you fly your drone with or without permission from the course? Is it allowed?
Somebody else in my group had one and used it. I didn’t ask if he had permission lol. Generally I’ve avoided the drone thing for this reason.
Do you like it better than Pebble?
I played here when I was just getting into golf. I NEED to get back!
Check out the Moss Beach Distillery if you ever head back that way!
@@NotAScratchGolfer will do!

Beautiful veiws
Is this the Old Course or the Ocean Course?
That’s the Ocean.
Every time I have played the ocean course at HFB I lose a tee shot on the 7th.
Just became a subscriber.... But love your content
You forgot to say you are playing the Ocean Course... The course to the north is the Old Course...
True, thanks for adding this. Do you have a preference between the two? I found that people were very divided on this. I'll take the Ocean all day.

Lol there's literally a puddle in that bunker on the 2nd hole. I wouldve just played it as ground under repair. Don't need to force yourself to hit out of the mud lol
I try to play this course once a year I drive 5 hr to get there
Course looks ridiculous. Looks nicer than Pebble...
