Lincoln Park Golf Course

Wonderful public track with some of the most magnificent views in the Bay Area. A couple of greens sloped more than I’d have liked. The 16th and 17th are daunting 250 yard par 3’s. But who doesn’t like hitting driver off the tee on a par 3? Great track for the price, the views alone are with the price to play.

The course is very poorly maintained, especially the greens. There are also lots of delays in play because of hikers and runners on the course.

Very muddy.

Does not drain well

Pros: Top 10 Views of SF!

This course is extremely "hilly" and is not a walkable course. The attendant at the check-in told me that they only have 4 carts and they only allow them to be used once a day (they don't clean and re-use them throughout the day due to covid). Basically they force you to walk an unwalkable course.

Tee Off: 4 pm December 22

Temp: 50 degrees

Greens: Soft

Fareways: Muddy

Holes: Front Nine

Spectacular Views. Challenging course, uneven lies, must adjust to the slope. Random hikers and tourists to contend with at holes 3-5. Coyotes lurking about.

Played two days in a row. Four birdies total. High handicapper.

No wind, played great. A bit muddy at times. Tee boxes need to be numbered, it’s easy to get off course. Views make up for all the short comings. Rolling hills fairways make for great fun. Walking pedestrians need to know their path better, the interrupt the flow of the game. Overall fun beautiful fun course. I will be back.

I did not play as it was raining and there was nobody around. The proshop/check in was closed. So stuck around for 15 or so minutes. Still nobody, so I left. Hope to play this course again sometime in the future.

Thanks

I know- spectacular views from the back nine but views don't maintain the greens or tee boxes. This course is always in Rough Shape. It's a short and quirky layout, which I enjoy but the greens are half dead, do not drain, are bumpy. The tee boxes are like teeing up in light rough on uneven terrain. And they charge $16 PER RIDER for the cart. I've been playing this course since the eighties...never seen it in such bad shape.

Worth playing once for the views of the Golden Gate Bridge but that's it. greens are a little rough and unkept but decent for a pure muni. Fairways and rough are decently kept but not the best. Greens roll way faster than they should for the level of player there.
