TPC Harding Park ranks among the most famous municipal courses in the country, along with Torrey Pines South and Bethpage Black. TPC Harding Park, which is part of the San Franciso Recreation and Parks Department, hugs the shores of Lake Merced in close proximity to the Lake Merced Golf Club, The Olympic Club and San Francisco Golf Club. Dating to 1925, it has a long history of tournament golf among its stately Monterey Cypress trees. Byron Nelson won back-to-back San Francisco Opens in 1944-45. The PGA Tour's Lucky International in the 1960s attracted winners such as Gary Player (1961), Gene Littler (1962), Jackie Burke Jr. (1963), Ken Venturi (1966) and Billy Casper (1968).

After falling on hard times, the course received a $16-million renovation in 2002-03 that brought it back into the tournament fold, hosting the 2005 World Golf Championship-American Express Championship, the 2015 WGC-Match Play Championship, The Presidents Cup in 2009, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship from 2010-12 and the 2020 PGA Championship, its first major.

Honest Points Not a good value for the price

For the price being charged a customer would expect a few on course items to be available as On other premium courses

Harding Park Is substandard in these areas

* Ball washers most all were inoperable or just plain broken

* Decent restrooms non existent ( such as the broken down shack to the right of green #3 )

* No yardage or directions signs No tee markers

* No water on the course (perhaps COVID 19) understandable However for the price charged would it hurt to provide a couple of bottles of water and range balls included in the pricey fee?

* Cart attendants are non existent most upscale courses have greeters help load bags etc… clean clubs after rounds

Harding needs to visit some Troon operated courses or ones operated at casino properties to see what good service is

It seems like since players will come The Harding management feels that they do not have to earn the business

The course is a classic However do not expect good service or value for your the high price that does not even include a golf cart

Good course

The course was in very good shape except the green, which was under aerating maintenance. Plus light rain, the green was slow and unpredictable. Fairway was excellent.

Family Time!

We were in San Francisco for a family wedding and sought after a round at Harding Park for a fun, yet challenging round of golf. Our group was comprised of varying skill levels and we all had a blast. The wind is certainly a factor here (don’t be afraid to add 2 clubs to a shot into the wind) but the course plays very fairly and is relatively forgiving. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for a solid round of golf in San Francisco!

Fun course to play!

A short drive from city center San Francisco, this TPC course is a gem to find and to play! We were a group of 7 playing two flights and were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Rental clubs were great and loved the souvenir bag/TPC golf balls were nice to take back home. The course is in great condition, cart path only and beverage cart attendants came around a couple of times (wish they came around more often though!). Greens were as fast as the pace of play so this course isn't for the faint of heart. We had a great time and would love to come back again! Thanks for a great experience TPC Harding Park!

Greens were very slow. Lots of unfixed ball marks. No one was raking bunkers. This is a tremendous layout, I wish people took better care of the course.

This was a great course to play. However if I were to play again I would make sure to walk the course. Didn’t know it was cartpath only. I would recommend this course highly.
