Ocean View Driving Range

Basic driving range, not bad, but not great. Three options for range buckets: $ 6 for 60 balls, $ 8 for 80 balls, $ 10 for 100 balls. Exact change, the machine doesn’t give change, not sure about the person in the office.
Cash only and no ATM on site.
Minimal amenities, didn’t see the option to buy drinks or food.
There is an option to hit on «grass» which is mown mixed grass and weeds. This costs an extra $ 2.
The putting and chipping green across the parking lot is also an extra $ 2.
Seems to be the only game in town, just remember to bring exact change!

Showed up 1 and a half hour before closing and no one was inside the shed to break currency for the range machine. Unprofessional to not have any employees working while open.

Clean, simple, laid back. $ 10 for 100 balls. Cash only, although the attendant did have change for a $ 20 so that we could feed the ball machine a ten-​spot.
There is also a «free» putting green and chipping area across the parking lot.
Will definitely return, as this is exactly what I expected from a (the) HMB Driving Range. Thanks!

My bf has been golfing since he was 7.
Me? I enjoy miniature golfing from time to time.
It was the bf’s birthday wknd and since he had never been to HMB, we decided to make a day trip out there. We WERE heading to the state beach but it costs 10.00 to park there… so we were heading back looking for a place to park in the neighborhoods near by and decided to stop into the driving range to check it out. We ended up getting 60 balls to play with and it was free to use the golf clubs that were available. The lady who worked inside was super nice and according to my bf I did pretty well for my first time!
also, we ended up leaving the car there and walking to the state beach which is literally a hop, skip and jump away. 6.00 for parking and golfing for two! What a deal!

What? I had to PAY for a rubber golf tee at the range because they were OUT of the LOANERS?
The range was fine and I enjoyed knocking the heck out of the balls. It’s not the nicest, not that well kept, and the golf tee thing was ‘bush league’. It is the only game in town though, so I’ll deal with it.
The golf balls themselves are a good value, but bring your own clubs. The loaners are the worst of the worst.

This was a fun and totally random find! The boyfriend and I were biking and saw this place. We stopped to see what it was about and were a bit confused to how chill the place is. We decided to come back after we were done biking to try it out. The only experience I have with golfing has been with mini golfing, so I didn’t know what to expect.
When we came, actually a worker was coming to shut the gates. But he was super friendly and said he’d let us play and that he’d come back later to close up! All you had to do was pay for the golf balls. There’s a vending machine by the side of the building where you get them. $ 6 for 60 golf balls, $ 8 for 80 and $ 10 for 100. Since this was our first attempt at golfing, we just got/​shared 60 balls. They have golf clubs there for you to borrow, just sitting there on the porch, so you can take whichever ones you want and have at it! They even had clubs for lefties, like me! So that was nice (I wasn’t even thinking about that being an issue!). Granted the clubs were kind of old and dirty, but I’m not complaining, since they were free for usage :)
Great location by the ocean. It happened to be a very windy and a bit dark by the time we started, but it was still fun. I like that it’s well kept (for what it is), it’s cheap, great location, and there are lots of space for you (and friends) to go golfing together. Hey — it’s cheaper than mini golfing!
Would definitely come again, probably when it’s warmer and sunnier, but glad to know this place exists!

If you are looking to hit golf balls in Half Moon Bay, this is it, there are no other driving ranges but thankfully this is a good one. Unless you are Tiger Woods, you won’t be able to reach the back fence and the farms that are all around back for a terrific, quiet atmosphere. And it is really ocean view as the ocean is right next to it.
I found it totally by accident while driving to the beach with my nephew and boy am I glad that I did. He loves golf and had a great time hammering out a bucket.
The prices are really cheap, it wasn’t crowded at all. Totally low-​key with the staff and owners. I opened the doors of my car and played Pink Floyd while we hit balls. No one jumped us for doing it. All good.
This range isn’t hi-​class, the tees and mats could use an upgrade, but it doesn’t make itself out to be anything other than what it is a local establishment servicing local golfers, not drive in Ritz Carlton patrons.
I was really excited about my find and if I ever need to return to Half Moon Bay and have my clubs in the trunk, this will be the first place I will go.

I showed up on a Saturday morning with $ 6 and some old clubs that my grandpa let me borrow. Didn’t have a glove, so I walked into the trailer and asked to buy one. The lady working there was really nice and let me borrow a glove that someone had left — that just made my day.
Weather and scenery were beautiful, would definitely go back and recommend this to anyone looking to hit some balls before heading out to play a round.

A cute little driving range very close to the state beach park. 3 stars because it’s not the prettiest– otherwise you can hit balls here like anywhere else.

There’s nothing fancy about this place — no clubhouse or café, just a double-​wide trailer serving as the main office with a ball dispenser and drink machine outside. But what it doesn’t have in terms of facilities is more than made up for by its low-​key, unpretentious charm. It’s like a comfortable old shoe. And the beach is just a couple blocks away. Good stuff.

Neither of the Half Moon Bay Golf Links courses at the Ritz-​Carlton have driving ranges. So, if you are planning on warming up for a round there, this is the only place in town where you can do so.
Most people will question why I would give this place 4 stars instead of 2 or 3. Fair enough. The mats are worn, you hit to an old, torn up field and the balls have definitely seen better days. However, I really like the atmosphere here. The owner, Carol, is absolutely wonderful, the price for a bucket of balls is a steal, and there is a very nice dog wandering around to give you advice should you need it. If you don’t like hitting off mats, you can pay a couple extra bucks to hit off the grass area at the end of the range. Last time I was there the gentleman who helps run the range gave me so many free balls, I had to quit before I could hit all of them.
Like the name says, you can even see the ocean from the tees.
There are simply very few businesses out there anymore that take pride in providing excellent customer service in a pleasant atmosphere. This place is one of the last holdouts and deserves to be recognized for it.
