Renovations Showing Progress

Yes the rumors of Sharp Parks demise have been greatly exaggerated. All of the holes are open and the greens are green and rolling smoothly. The fairways are fine and setting is tranquil. You can feel Alistair.

Amenities are not great. Ball washers may or may not have water in them. Gas golf carts are of another era which added some charm for me. It was the first time that my grandson experienced a choke.

Staff and the locals are all gems.

We had breakfast at the Breakers and drove Highway 1 through the new (new to me) tunnel.

A grand day.

Greens and fairways not so good.

Fairways not very well maintained. Golfers not fixing divot marks on greens ( sad almost every course this is problem) no water in ball washers... towels don't look like they been replaced in year's. Too bad because course could be so much nicer.

Great layout. Poor condition.

Sharp Park resides in Pacifica, CA. It has a great layout with some holes requiring a carry over barrancas. The problem is course condition and kack of amenities. Bare patches in fairways and multiple ball marks on greens make rating this course any higher impossible. However, low prices are compelling.

A relaxing stroll by the sea

The course is much improved from the recent rains and the greens that were replaced. All the holes are open, the fairways are lush and green but not mushy. The greens are in very good shape and the pace of play is almost always under 4 hours. A great deal for resident rates and reasonable for non-residents.

Cheaper in person

Booked on golf now for 40$. Got paired with a single and the payed half the price. 4 temporary greens and conditions were terrible. The price was the real kicker. Didn't play the full 18.

The Sun Came Out!

I love the overall layout and greens at this course. Unfortunately, the conditions are not great. The fairways are kikuyu, but spotty. The greens in the canyon (3-6) are temp for the next X months. Those are some cool holes, but I appreciate the move to upgrade the greens for the long term. This course needs a little love and it could be really good. P.S. let's get rid of the cartpaths on 16 and 17. I'll be back for my 2 rounds a year at Sharp Park.

Rare Alister MacKenzie designed track.

Live about 50 miles from Sharp Park. Never played there, but decided to try it out because it is designed by the great Alister MacKenzie. For those who don't know, MacKenzie designed Augusta National where the Masters is played and other great courses like Pasatiempo. It is muni course played mostly by locals. It could be transformed into a great course but would need a lot of money to transform it.

Sharp park is a well designed course on a great piece of property next to the ocean. However, the condition of the course is not great. The course has lots of potential but the California drought and being city owned makes it difficult to improve the course. The track has some really good holes. Greens were in decent shape but were super slow. Many of the fairways are brown. Number 4, 5, 6, and 7 are temporary greens at the moment.

Limited practice facilities. Just a practice putting green. No range. They do have some nets but they don't look operational.

Sharp Park - a fun 18 on the beach

Love this course - friendly staff, great crowd of locals, just keep out of froggy territory or you'll lose a sleeve of balls.

Designed by Alister Mackenzie

If you know golf you should be honered to play a course designed by Mackenzie. Sharp is old and under going much need yard work. They say the greens will remain true to the original design. We golfed with a great local named Jerry. He was full of history and it was a pleasure to golf with him. There are currently some temp greens. This course will be beautiful once the greens are completed. If you're from out of state, please remember CA is going through a severe drought....very dry and hard fairways.

Not what I expected

Booked through GolfNow 4 days prior, but when we got to the course,our tee time was pushed back over an hour due to a members tournament that was not on the calendar when we booked. Announcements not heard in the restaurant, so when all tournament players were on the course, we were rushed by the starter to get started. Fortunately, my twosome was matched with a couple of local players who guided us through the course. A few good views of the Pacific Ocean, but most of the course winds through the trees. Overall experience not very good, which is bad because the local area is quite beautiful.

Great greens, fair MacKenzie challenge

For those who are not members at Augusta National or one MacKenzie's private course designs, being able to play a MacKenzie public course is a privilege. His complex greens have withstood the test of time.

The greens were rolling smooth and the course is in good condition.

Hoel 16 & 17 are a mess, mostly dirt fairways. Hopefully they will be renovated soon. Otherwise the course is in good condition

Good value!

Nice course, greens really in good shape, fairways dry in spots, couple holes had fairways completely dry. Brown is the new green, with the water issues on CA. All in all, I would golf the course again when in the area.

Sharp Park

Scruffy course in Pacifica, but setting is lovely, on the coast.

Links style very dry fairways and tee boxes are unkept, but if you like challenging courses that are different check it out. $42 to play in SF! Views are spectacular! Will play again!

Sharps!!

I have played this course for over 20 + yrs. But have not played it in over 5+ yrs. I have to say, the course is in better condition than I thought. I would definitely play Sharp Park again.
