I walkable course, no carts available

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.

Lincoln Park Last Time

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.

Beautiful day

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.

Course seemed closed.

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

kind of a ripoff actually

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.

come for the views not the course

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.

Good course that needs better care

Lincoln Park is a good course .

It has challenging holes that are fun.

The greens are not in good condition

If you have to golf? Go here I guess?

The layout is challenging and unique. That’s the only thing going for this course. The fairways are hit or miss. Sometimes good grass. Other times smash your tee shot in the middle of the fairway...and into a dirt patch. Just not acceptable for what should be a top ten golf course in the country given the location and views. The greens are just tragically bad. You can’t learn anything on your putting game here. A billion bumps from jerks not fixing their ball marks. So stupid and irresponsible. The worst part of it is if you play with the locals here they’re just so uneven. They love the course but then are the worst offenders of common upkeep (the greens). All in all it’s a fine place to play for the price if you’re a resident. But don’t by any means pay anything more than a deal type price here. It’s just not worth it. Then again, in a pinch you can get a round in here and not be completely bummed. You just won’t learn much about your game because the course is not well kept.

Nice day

Fun course. Greens were in rough shape. But the views are STUNNING! People here are friendly. Great course to kick back with some friends and relax. Forget your score and just enjoy the day.
