Booking.comPLAY Golf at Half Moon Bay Golf Course
“With excellent greens and fairways to play Half Moon Golf Course will surprise many”
Half Moon Bay golf course is a players delight with picturesque views. Each hole has it’s own unique character. You may even spot a resident crocodile while playing here!
This golfing layout has many fun, challenging and interesting holes. Our favourite is the 5th hole. Even at around 280m long this hole is not driveable. The 30 metre wide green is surround by out Out Of Bounds and is hidden from view off the tee. The best play here is to leave a 100 metre approach shot for you best chance of birdie, or even a par.
Half Moon Bay golf course boasts excellent tropical surrounds and some marvelous views of the surrounding districts. Although this course is not a long by any imagination it sure is a great place to play golf.
