Used cart

A poor experience

1- The course has no restrooms nor drinking/eating facilities even though these are now allowed.

2- Carts are ancient gas powered vehicles and in very poor condition. Two would not accelerate out of idle and one had a broken suspension and could not steer in a straight line.

3-Cart paths were rough in places, sometimes with broken paving

4- Greens sometimes werea close cut weed with little grass.

5- Overall, showed major neglect and poor value for the high price.

Great value

Good course that could be improved with investment by owners. If CCofSF can’t make a world class destination, let another city or developer improve this gem. Staff was great!

Sharp Park

The course is in good shape. Fairways are big and grass is thick. Greens are is ok shape some are faster then others. Bunkers add to the challenge but the course does not frustrate you. Worth the price if you get a deal on Golfnow or similar sites. Limited carts so expect to walk the 6 miles.

Good moderately challenging course

This is a flat course that is easy to walk. The tree-lined fairways are nice and long, not too many bunkers, This is a deceptively challenging course! With the wide and relatively flat fairways, it looks quite easy. Has nice challenges along the way.

No driving range and course is chewed up. A shame that the city is not spending more on this iconic course. Alister would be ashamed

Great Layout

Maintenance would make this course worth what they charge. Unfortunately the city of San Francisco won't bother with any upgrades or improvements, satisfied with simply keeping it going as it's little revenue source. Too bad, as it has the potential to be great.

Lovely Setting with Deferred Maintenance

Sharp Park is a nice little course with wide fairways and beautiful trees lining them. The fairway is a tad shaggy and the greens are fairly chewed up so a straight putt is nearly impossible. Despite this, it is a fun course to play.

Oh Sharp Park!

I love the course layout, I just wish the course was in better condition especially the greens. If the City could just spend a few $$ on it. It was such a beautiful day.

Great history amazing layout great value

Great layout and really really fun. The conditions are just ok but remember you just pay only $21. It feels that the maintenance is 80 years old the quality of the fairway and the greens is just old school. Can they make it better yes but it probably will need to triple the value. Fun to play and specially when you realize the history behind it. Beautiful place highly recommend jus remember the cost before complaining too much

Unusual course

Sharp park is a fun course near the ocean.

The weather is normally windy and cool even in the summer.

The course is not in good condition.

The layout is good and many holes are challenging and fun

Don’t Bother

This course has the potential to be an absolutely beautiful place to play golf. Long course, beautiful Monterey Cypress Trees lining the fairways, very similar to courses in Carmel and Monterey. But, the city of San Francisco owns this course. Need I say more? Part of the building didn’t have a wall! Our golf cart was falling apart and the brake didn’t work! Can’t make out the cart path because they are just weeds and mud-filled ruts. Nothing has been taken care of for many years, it really is a shame...
