Always Great

This is my home course and we try to play a TV least once if not twice a week!

The fallen trees are being cut back as well as the brush and the cart paths are being repaired.

Getting better all the time!

Possibilities are great, greens are not

Despite having been fairly recently aerated, the greens have many dying spots and unhealthy spots to the point that it is really not possible to putt in a serious way on 5 or 6 of the greens.

Played in July and thought the greens were nice.

So hopefully once aeration cycle is complete the greens will regain smooth character and dead spots will not be noticeable.

Sharp Park Green Conditions

Everything other than greens were in good shape. The fairways were in the best shape I have ever seen them, and I have been playing Sharp for 20 years.

2pm twilight start

Crowded, extremely slow pace of play in every hole. No marshall. Fed up with slow play and anxiety, quit game after the 13th hole. Players need to learn etiquette of the game.

Great Time

As I've said before, the course is getting really good now that it's drying out. The fallen branches and trees are being cleared and the cracked cart paths are being replaced.

It will be really great when the cart house opens and the new carts come. At least this time we didn't have to wait long for a cart to come in.

Poor Mans Hardening Park

The layout of the course is challenging, but fair. The greens are fast, but could be in better condition because of the proximity of the ocean some of the greens have some algae looking grass on them. The course plays like a true Links course for the majority of the round, however, there are places on the course where the woods are a factor. You can hear the sound of the waves hitting the shoreline for about half of the round very nostalgic and relaxing however, choose a day that the weather is hot because the clouds rolling off the ocean and creates a small mist Feels good to me, but some people might find it a little chilly overall I’ll give this course a four out of five stars.

Sharp Park

Grew up playing this course, first time I've played it in 35 years. Same old disappointing Sharp Park--great Alistair McKenzie design, city of San Francisco spends almost no money on upkeep or improvements. A complete ripoff at $59 (I used to play this course for $ 7 in the day), That's about what it's worth. A true shame, it could be wonderful---think about what the city did in improving Harding Park 20 years ago and that's your answer. Will not return.

Getting Better

Everything was great for a Saturday, and I did not have to wait too long for a cart since they have a limited supply, and I am unable to walk the course.

Not so bad.

So I was excited and worried about going to sharp park. Excited because I knew it was a mckenzie design and my friends had told me that with a little TLC it could be one of the best courses around that the layout was fantastic. Worried having read the reviews like it would be in such bad condition but honesty it's as my friends described it with some TLC it can be amazing. The condition is very playable there was a huge amount of run on the fairways and with exception of 2 of the greens they ran very smoothly. There was some what I think was soil laying around in patches which looked like animals had been digging but no holes. But as I say very very playable. Pace of play on the day for us was good. I had concerns that off the blue tees the course would play short at 6,300 yards but I quickly discovered that they're are a couple of short holes that just bring the overall yardage down. A 99 yard par 3 for example. And these holes are as fun and as tricky as any. So I got to use all the clubs in the bag not just driver wedge which for me is boring. So I would recommend this course to anyone and issue the same sentiment its just a shame that no one out there takes over it and just brings it up to standard.

MacKenzie Jewel

Don’t take a cart - everyone walks this course. You got to if you want to savor this Alistair Mackenzie gem.

Shades of Cypress Point with this place - you’ll want to come back again and again…
