Sharp Park Golf Course

Played with my two boys and it was great. Very affordable for juniors and a good layout for young golfers

The weather broke after the first hole and the fog disappeared. The course was in fair shape. Most of the course was in a very dry condition and the greens were good except they were very long, they really needed a mowing, just hard to putt because they were so fuzzy. Lots of gopher holes and bare ground.

You have to play this Alister Mackenzie track. It's got a really good fun layout. Some challenging tee shots, especially the par 3 5th hole, narrow and long. An easy walk with some great views and wild life. I'd like to go back and actually post a nice score, didn't work out for me on this occasion, but was fun none-the-less.

This place still hasn't figured out how to space groups. You start off for the first three holes fine but as soon as you hit holes 4 thru 7 your easy flow can come to a frozen halt. Please help them realize that it's not how many groups you get off its spacing that matters. Otherwise this course is nice, its long and has some tough holes the tees were currently up for a couple of holes which should have been listed.

decent course. weather was incredible though. will probably play again

You can feel the history oozing from Sharp Park, a rare Alister MacKenzie course still relatively intact today. It's such an enjoyable walk. You can't see the water, but you can feel it in the thick heavy air. If you can forgive the clovers and daisies and dirt spots in the fairway and the slow greens, you can better appreciate how beautiful of a municipal golf course this is. The routing is fantastic. I don't recall a single fairway bunker. The holes just flow through the towering trees, turning right or left, whichever way MacKenzie's whims took him. The holes 4-7 across the highway are really superb. The back nine, starting at the par 3 12th hole, roams into the wetlands that sometimes flood in spring and caused all the trouble (and lawsuits) with the environmentalists. There's so much potential for this place. The bar inside the clubhouse seems to be a lively spot to stick around for a beer and some banter. Affordable, fun, playable, walkable, serving a diverse clientele - this is how golf was meant to be.

The best thing about this course is its location. We were able to be there on a day that it was sunny and about 70! Although the course was in very good condition a few greens that are covered by trees are rough. Gotta love the old gas powered golf carts. Though this appears to be a course best walked, so i will be walking next time. The local that played with us explained about the endangered frog there. I say that the activists pay to build a secure environment in their current location. This will save the frogs and boost sales as more people will come pay to check out the frogs, and of course for the location!

Beautiful surrounding, but poor maintenance over all !!!!

The greens are half grass half dirt. The fairways are half grass half mud. The tee boxes are rounded mounds and the only thing green on them is matted down clovers or weeds. This is not even the worst part of the course.

I have played here twice through golf now. First time, I show up (with my friends) 15 minutes before our reservation and guess what? There was a company scrub tournament scheduled that day and the "pro shop" forgot to tell GolfNow and take the tee times off the site. So after paying the brokerage fee, we and 15 other groups (all raging at the pro shop for having their time wasted) stay there and wait for the poor attendant to find a way to refund everyone for the time and money wasted to come that day.

The second time was on Presidents day. We reserve a time through this site and show up 15 minutes before our tee time. The only reason we play this course is because its cheap for San Francisco area (even though the course quality justifies the rate) we walk up to pay and find out that we are being forced to pay considerably more because there is a "holiday rate." Even though they have a partnership with this site that sells tee times to people at a promised price, they seem to not care and charge more to groups when they show up. After complaining they tell me "take it up with golf now or the city of San Francisco."

There is no starter, no marshall, and no one encouraging quick pace of play. Our front nine took 3 hours and 15 minutes. We didnt stay to finish most of the back nine.

Stay away from this course!!

Checked in early on a Tuesday and the staff were more than happy to accommodate me. Joined a twosome and the round took just under four hours. Fairways were in decent enough shape, a little muddy in spots. Surprising with our lack of rain. Greens were much better than expected. Definitely going to play here again. Staff were very polite and helpful.

Being a past resident of Pacifica I have played Sharps several times. The greens didn't have the usual ball marks but the amount of grass on the greens was very thin and patchy, if you like to putt on dirt this is the place.

Sharp is like a friend who is always there when you need them. I always walk on pretty much anytime of day and end up playing with some really nice people. Lots of locals. Alistar McKenzie design minutes from SF features links style and wooded fairways. Wind is generally a factor and the scenery can be distracting. Range finder/GPS a must. No driving range but there are some nets to hit into pre-round.
After your round head to La Mordida for a huaraches. Decent taqueria in an old Taco Bell northeast end of Pacifica.

I would have given 4 stars but holes 4 - 7 was closed because of recent rains. When I booked it through Golfnow, there were no mentioned that four holes where closed. The pro shop did allow us to repeat holes 1 - 3 & 8 to make up the difference. The 14th hole was partial under water due to the rains. I wold have not booked it if I knew the conditions were this bad.

After all this is a $42 muni course in Pacifica so don't want to beat them up too bad. I would recommend driving to a better course and save the money. This course needs lots of TLC before I would play again. Greens are in pretty bad shape but better than the fairways. People were nice and pretty much locals members I meet and talked to.
I've play mostly muni courses and this was the worst one so far.

Perfect weather made for a great day. Greens not in the best shape.

recently played sharp 10/27/2014. Much like Lincoln park in the city, sharp is suffering from SF.s seemingly 100% policy of no water. course is hardscrabble, hardpan. And that's just the greens. I would wait till after a rainy season to play this course again. shame.

For the price I paid, I didnt expect the course to be in good condition. But the pace of play was horrendous from holes 4-6. 3 groups waiting on tee box......enough said. No marshalls in sight! Took 5+ hours to finish. Wow'zers!!

Sharp Park is a great place to play if your primary consideration is a great walk with great views of the ocean and the Pacifica hills. If your goal is to play a great course with groomed fairways/well maintained tee boxes/smooth greens you be a bit disappointed.
Sharp Park is a great place to play for the value and the atmosphere of locals "golf hangout".
Not the greatest conditions, but more than makes up for it with the views and atmosphere. A unique golf experience.

Currently remodeling the course. For $50 bucks you'd expect to a better course. They are remodeling one of the holes and because of this a tee box is in the middle of the fairway, and so is the green. It's frustrating when there are courses around that have similar pricing, but conditions far surpass this. Golfers beware!

It is a really bad course, poor made putting green, poor maintenance of tee-box, even no water in some ball washers, what a careless operation.
