Gleneagles Golf Course at McLaren Park

Really enjoyed playing this 9-hole golf course which includes Par 3, 4 and 5 holes. Most 9-hole golf courses in the Bay Area are only executive Par 3 courses.

The condition of the tee area and fairways could be better but the greens are in great condition.

Will definitely play here again!

I went today to play this course with the lady. I am a avid golfer (3 handicap), I was disrespected today by the check in person.

First of all I took the lady out because she’s interested in learning golf and this course is a perfect place to do that. It was a rainy days so there was hardly anyone there. We ended up waiting on every single Teebox for the people in front of us.

Upon check-in the person recognized we had one bag of clubs in which she was going to play with and he started making comments such as “this is a golf course“ and “are you here to play golf” as if I just stumbled onto Augusta for the Masters. I walked up with a club set probably worth more than his entire month‘s paycheck and he asked me if I ever played golf before.

The course was in horrible condition. The pace of play was terribly slow. Most important, the customer service was absolutely terrible. I would not recommend the course to anyone not only based on the horrible service and friendliness but most importantly the actual course itself.

First time here. Better than expected. Nice place to play golf with friends.

I went out as a single in the morning. Had a twosome in front of me, didn’t see anyone behind. Pace of play was great. With the Cypress trees felt like a poor man’s Harding Park. Greens are firm and true.. Uneven lies and tight tee shots make it a challenge, and a great test for shot shaping. Will be back when I want to play a quick nine.

First time playing at Gleneagles. Absolutely 9 hole hilly layout, the course is in mostly excellent shape with some bare patches here and there, but arguably the best greens of any one of the SF city courses.

The course is challenging and well treed, to make fairway position capital for second and third shots. The hillside layout has elevated greens, several greens are tiered increasing the challenge..

The staff member we encountered could not have been nicer or more helpful..

hard to judge the clubhouse as we are in strict confinement rules and could not go inside to the bar.

All in all this is a fabulous course and we will be returning regularly.

Played Gleneagles on a perfect Saturday morning and everyone else had the same idea. Took our foursome over 3 hours to play 9 holes. Course was a little worn looking with lots of dirt between tee to fairway landing areas on several holes. Grass was sometimes scarce on the fairways. The course had interesting layout and challeging holes with variation in elevation in tees and greens on many holes. It's a little expensive but so is everything else in SF. Views out to the hills and Bay gave golfers scenic distractions while playing.

This is the quintessential SF golf course - no phony posers, no obnoxious golf carts, no membership BS. This is a golf course for folks who want to enjoy beautiful SF hillsides flanked by majestic cypress trees and hit a few balls with a couple of friends.

So some of the tee markers are hard to find, so the start of the fairway is dusty, so there are no ball washing stations or benches to sit on... Big whopping deal - if you want a championship course, there are plenty of those, and you'll have to wait and put up with loud talkers.

This is actually my favorite golf course in the SF area - unpretentious, totally casual, a little loose, and cheap alcohol. What a perfect way to spend an afternoon in SF.

This is the "anti-golf course" golf course. PERFECT.

online booking is also super convenient and easy.

We read reviews about the staff on Yelp but until you witness the hostility and unfriendliness first hand you’ll never truly understand. We played the day after thanksgiving. This was one of the only courses with any available tee times because we waited until the last minute. That’s pretty much the only circumstance that would prompt us to play Gleneagles ever again.

Best public golf in SF. Greens are the best kept in the city. Pretty unforgiving in terms of difficulty’s but a great public course! Also the staff were super friendly.

You pay for what you get for. Don’t expect too much but this is definitely a playable course!

Great course to experience tuff NOCAL San Fran hill golf. The course used to be a training course for the Olympic club.

Disc golfers playing with us n watching us all the time, grass was rare a lot of mud, sand etc maybe this course was good 20 years ago but now it’s garbage

This gritty little 9 holer has a great reputation for a reason. It’s a little rough around the edges but the layout is awesome. The greens are challenging and usually in good shape. Can’t wait for the coolest bar in SF to open up again. Best hang in golf!

Very cool place you can play 9 or 18 with different tee boxes for back nine play greens are fast and nice. Ncga rated to post your score. Lotta trees very challenging. 577 yard par 5. Thumbs up

Gleneagles is regionally known for difficulty. Nine holes with different tees for front and back. Narrow driving holes with sketchy fairways. My friend and I agreed to bump the ball in the fairway.. the greens are in really good shape. Not super fast but true. All but one breaks towards the cow palace. Grueling fun.
