Sharp Park Golf 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

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...

This course is beautiful. From its location to the rolling hills, trees, and fairways, it truly has the opportunity to be one of the best courses in the Bay Area. There are challenging holes and some very wide open fairways.

BUT....it is so poorly maintained. I understand there are some green renovations going on but those were the worst greens I’ve ever played on. No carts ever available. Club house in nonexistent and there are but two portable bathrooms on the entire course to use.

The potential is there. It’s a beautiful course. Just a shame it’s so neglected.

My husband had an invitation to play at Harding, so I booked a round at Sharp Park. I walked 18, then played another 18. I had such eclectic pairings, and I loved the welcome by the men I played with.

Great McKenzie course, with a back nine that has à links feel. Truly beautiful holes, greens are in the process of being refitted so the greens that were not temporary were deeply sanded. Rest of the course is superb so that whenever the greens catch up, this gem of a course will be an absolute steal for 34 bucks with an SF resident card.

No club house and no amenities, but the checking in staff could not have been nicer and more welcoming.

Definitely coming back.

Fixing nine greens now...they could have trimmed the temp greens atleast

U felt that a non resident is not welcome in this

course, greens and fairways needs maintenance,

pace of play are below standard, they don’t have

available carts, that the main reason the pace is

too slow

It's a beautiful and fun to play course. The fairways are relatively wide, but can play tough if the winds are blowing. There are risk/rewards on your drive if you want to set up for a better angle on the approach shot.

The course is a bit rough is parts. The fairway and greens can be patchy and bumpy. The condtions are typical of a muni course. However, if they ever decide to give it a little love and care, Sharp Park can rival any course in Northern California.

This course has a good layout, providing enough challenges. Yet It is relatively flat, so easy to walk. The fairways are fairly wide and long, giving you a number of chances to let your driver rip! The downside is that the fairways could be in better shape, but given that it’s a muni with a reasonable price, one can’t expect too much! There used to be a lot of daisies, but thankfully those have been largely cleaned up!

Nice layout, holes in back 9 go along the beach. Extremely walkable course. Challenging. The conditions aren’t great, Muni course. It is great to hone your skills.

Alister MacKenzie would be rolling over in his grave if he knew what disrepair this course was in. The bones of this course are fantastic. The location is equally great. And the good ends there.

The course needs about $20M pumped into it to bring it back to the proper conditions that it should be in. It's a poorly run dumpster fire right now. Even checking in sucked. I arrived at 3:10 for a 3:30 tee time and was rudely told not to check in because I was too early. Then 5 minutes later, they announce on an intercom that you can hear from 2 holes away that it's my time to check in. And then they don't take American Express.

Fairways and roughs have weeds growing in them. Greens were bumpy. Sand traps weren't taken care of. Tee boxes were a mess. Rough is gnarly. Dress codes are non existent. I was paired with three very nice people. The group in front of me had a cart that couldn't even get up the small hill heading into the first par three (the 5th hole, which could be absolutely fantastic). It's an uphill par three, 190 from the tips, trees on the right side, into a small green that feels secluded.

We played the first 8 holes in about two hours. 9-14 took about 1:40, and then I decided to leave after 14. I probably would have left after 9 if 9 went back to the clubhouse (which it doesn't), so 14 was a convenient jumping off point.

I know the course has been mired with political and legal issues, but I left today's round with such immense sadness for what this place could be and what it actually is. I hope it gets cleaned up. It obviously doesn't have the distance to host events like Harding or Olympic, but this course could be every bit as good. I'd love to come back after it's restored to its glory.

$70 with cart. Cart straps didn’t hold bags, required Jerry rig. Cart wouldn’t move unless choke was toggled...EVERY TIME. no bathroom availability at clubhouse. This course breaks my heart, it could be so nice.

baloney....... not pictures of sharp park.

all the trees are cypress and there are lots of them. not palm trees blowing in the wind with ocean views

course is great .

layout fun .

The issue with the course not honoring prepaid tee times from TeeOff/GolfNow happened again. But I was prepared because of previous reviews warning about this. Bring a paper copy of your receipt and be prepared to state your case and not let them force you into paying again. I did, and was able to play with my prepaid reservation. TeeOff/GolfNow, Sharp Park Golf Course, and SF Parks and Rec really need to get their act together and figure this out so people don’t need to go through this time and time again.
