A good course that keeps on getting better

I’ve played Sharp ref since July 2020. The staff has worked hard to improve the fairways and the greens and their efforts are starting to improve. This magnificent Alistair McKenzie layout is getting the care such a historic design deserves. Thanks to the ground and green keepers who are doing a great job.

A great course continues to get better which is why I come back so often!

Keeps getting better and better

I’ve been playing Sharp regularly-several times a month, the course just keeps getting better and better. The staff has worked tirelessly on the greens and their efforts have yielded great firm and true greens. The traps are just ok but I that’s the only negative (and it’s a minor one). The fairways are also in superb shape. All in all a great course, great value if you have a SF resident card. I will continue to come back often.

I love this course!

I’ve played here at least 5-times, and each time was special. It’s very walkable, a GREAT value and I always meet some of the most unique and colorful characters there. The last time I played here I played 36 because my husband was playing at Harding in a Charity event. He didn’t know he couldn’t be there early to warm up…because there was still COVID restricted rules. So, he dropped me off to play, and was going to walk with me for a few holes, but was told he would have to play (no spectators allowed during COVID restricted era). I also asked what the fee would be after 18 to go again. The price was so low, I knew I was going to play again. At the end of my round, I checked in to go for my second 18, and the starter told me to just go play.

I was by myself, and noticed a group of 3-men in front of me, and even though they saw me waiting on them for 6-holes…they never invited me to join them. That’s not unusual, men want to play alone. I always run through the tunnel to #4 and back from #7 to #8 (I think). Anyway, I dropped back because there also were 3-men in back of me. These guys reminded me of the Homeboys I went to school with in East San Jose, and they let me join them,. They quietly trash talked each other in front of me. When I made a birdie putt…I put the pressure on them with a verbal challenge. Their eyes got bit, and “BOOM” I became one of the guys. It was a BLAST!

I’ve seen improvements on the course since the time before I played, but I like the ruggedness of the course. There are enough challenges, but it’s fair. Play this course, really! I feel like a kid in a candy shop every time I’m there!

Muddy new year

Course was a tad muddy from the rains, but it is still one of the best value for San Francisco residents. Back nine greens are definitely better, but front nie layout is awesome. Will be back fro sure, often!

Perfect pace of play

Weather was outstanding. Putting was a fun challenge. Most tee boxes are a little in even and more mud then grass. However the rest of the course is well kept.

Please make sure to throw away your trash when you play.

Fun course with some challenging holes

Sharp Park is a fun course with some challenging holes.

The layout is interesting and the par 3's are long.

Pace of play was good but can be slow in some instances

Great MacKenzie Layout - Excellent Value

It's a MacKenzie design - played on Masters Sunday!!

Fantastic layout. Greens are fast and break like heck.

Course is in decent shape but could be a go-to course with a bit more investment. Greens could be smoother, fairways a bit more consistent.

And...it should be faster. Four hours to play 13 holes makes it difficult to maintain rhythm once you find your swing.

Sharp Park is a wonderful value and a fun course to play.

Fun course with some challenging holes

Sharp Park is a fun course with some challenging holes.,

It is next to the ocean and normally a little windy but not today..

It is popular and today there were too many golfers and no marshalls making the golfers move faster.

Angry staff - ruined the experience

We had a mid-day tee time and we arrived to a very angry staff member. He yelled at us to check in right away (even though there wasn't anyone in sight). His poor attitude sent us off the tee box on the wrong foot. Too bad because there are some really nice holes here. Maybe think about having people working there who at least act like they want to be there. This guy obviously hates his job.
