Wasted potential
Played this course on a Saturday, guy working the pro shop was a younger man. Friendly and actually had a good time at the course- difficult fun track. I can overlook the poor fairway conditions to support a local course. A few weeks later, I decided to play a round on a rainy, completely empty Monday morning. Show up to check in with an older man at the bar. Tell him I’d like to grab a tee time, he rudely asks if I have a tee time. Repeat that id like to walk on.. “ yeah fine, I guess I’ll allow it.” Keep in mind, I’m the ONLY person at the golf course. Asks if I’ve played here before, told him I’ve played a few weeks ago. “You know the rules around here then?” Confused, I ask him to clarify to which he replies “we have one rule here. You are to play one ball and one ball only. If me or if any of my guys see you playing more than one ball, we’re going to ask you to leave immediately. You got that?” Sure enough, he watched me tee off, arms crossed and watched me play the entire first hole from outside the pro shop. Never have I ever been treated this way in any other course or felt more unwelcome. There’s a reason this course is rarely booked out. It’s a shame because the course has a lot of potential but it’s held back by this “look we’re cool because we have a bar instead of a pro shop” mentality. No shortage of courses here in the Bay Area and this course ranks at the bottom of that list.
You have our sincerest apologies for how you were received at the start. This is not how we train our staff to greet or serve customers. Please know it will not happen again.
We are sorry you had an unfortunate experience with a staff member on your second visit. It sounds like your first visit went very well. We have alerted the starter about this review and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We can assure you your next visit will be stellar.
Go play now.
The course is nice now. With all the recent rains we have had has the course greener than its been in recent times. Some trees down but they have been cleaning up pretty fast. Challenging place with all the elevation changes and slopes.
Thank you for your great review. Most of the trees that fell during the Winter 2023 have been bucked up and cleared. You got it right about the elevation variation and slopes, two important characteristics that makes Gleneagles an incredible course like no other.
GOOD GC
THE GC HAS BAY VIEW. NOT TOO BUSY. YOU PLAY ON THE SLOP.
Thanks for the great review. We are the only golf course in San Francisco with a Bay view because we are the only course on the Southeast side of The City. When the leaders of San Francisco built the golf course they did so because there were already three public courses on the West side, not including two private course. They wanted to spread out the golf courses to all neighborhoods. It was built around the same time as Candlestick Park in 1962. Unfortunately Candlestick is gone but Gleneagles remains because the community continues to play it.
Challenging 9 hole course
Conditions of the fairways are not the best but the layout is challenging. The greens are well kept.
Thank you for your FIVE STAR review! We are a small community based operation (not city employees or equipment). We care about public golf specifically about Gleneagles. Since 1962 this course has charmed and beguiled golfers both expert and not. We condition the greens like they are a private course, everything else is secondary but you will not find a more pure golf experience anywhere in The City. If you golf you must try it at least once to know.
A great Midweek course
Gleneagles GC San Francisco, is an awesome Par 36, 9holes course at the heart of San Francisco. Fairway consist of 2 par 5’s, 5 Par 4’s, and 2 Par3’s.
You also got some challenging winds, slopes, and other elements from time to time.
Thank you for your review! You can use every club in your bag at this nine-holer. Many play nine and find it plenty enough. For the less than a movie ticket, you can go around from another set of tees for nine more to make it 18 holes. This 9 or 18 hole experience will no doubt leave a memory for you unlike any other golf course.
Hi
Don’t play this course in the morning. It’s not well kept and super muddy until noonish. Staff is lit, course is… not the best
We have received over 19 inches of rain in the past four weeks, most in the past 100 years. There are some muddy areas for sure but the golf course as whole is very playable.
Overpriced and not maintained
The course has the potential to be fun as the layout and difficulty is great for a 9 hole course. Unfortunately the course is not maintained whatsoever. You’ll largely be playing on dirt and weeds rather than grass which would still be forgivable at maybe a $10-$15 price point. But at $30+ it’s insanity.
Sorry you didn't like the experience. We can confirm that we work very hard at maintaining Gleneagles-everyday. You will not see pristine fairways or tee boxes but you encounter true and speedy greens. Bunkers are old and firm, true hazards to be avoided at all costs. We turned off the water 100 yards off the tee boxes to save water and be more sustainable, if you hit a dribbler you will be in the "waste area" and have a barren lie.
Thank you for your FOUR STAR review!!

This is one of the most challenging tracks around. The layout is great, the hilly lies make all second shots more difficult. It has the potential to be amazing. It needs more upkeep, plain and simple, the drought is not helping and the fairways have gone to crap with lots of bare patches and huge amounts of sandy areas. The greens had always been in great shape but right now they are ridiculously long which makes them slower than molasses and tar! A good trim would fix that so that you’re not penalized for hitting the green. The staff is always nice and welcoming, just wish there were more of them to upkeep this potential gem of a course
Beautiful!!!
Just a great 9 hole difficult golf course. Lotsa bird action!!! Hawks and crows going at each other. Great time at the clubhouse after play!!! Just classic and classy!!!
Thank you for your FIVE STAR review. We have some of the best hawk vs raven action anywhere. All part of the Gleneagles experience.
