Great views

The views of the city and golden gate bridge were awesome. But the course was in rough shape. if you score on the greens don't play here. Huge patches of clover speratocaly scattered on almost every green make putting impossible.

Good shape for the time of year!

All is well at lincoln right now. We play there at least 2-3 times a month but weirdly not for the last two. It was in great shape for no rain and we had a blast! Gotta love Paul in the pro shop too! Have fun!

OK course BUT

Overall the course is in OK shape at best:
Pros- great views of the GG Bridge
Cons- greens are mixed grass uneven surface.
Cart paths are in terrible shape.
Fairways cut too high with white flowers making it hard to spot your ball.
My car had it's window smashed out and property stolen while in the parking lot.
Too expensive for the course conditions especially for a non resident.

A Nice Course

The course is short & hilly, and a lot of fun to play.
We played it after a long rainy spell & the course was very wet. Carts were restricted to the paths. Although hilly, it would be a good course to walk.
It affords wonderful views of the Golden Gate Bridge and many people sightsee along with the golfers.
The club house was not in the best of shape, but the staff was very friendly.
We will play it again.

Reviews accurate

The reviews on the course are accurate, so I was not too disappointed. Greens and fairways not well-maintained. In addition, course is extremely wet and muddy and does not drain well, so this added to the poor conditions. That said, the views are spectacular. Go for views, not so much for golf. Staff was friendly. Rental clubs not great.

beautiful view on the 17th tee box, the greens are in very bad shape

The fairways and greens were in bad shape, but mostly the greens were about as fast as a nice course's fairway. I hate to say anything bad about this course, because of the beautiful view on the 17th tee. Don't let their photos fool you the course isn't that green.

Leave the attitude at home

The views can't be beat. The fairways and greens... well the views can't be beat. The clubhouse and bar staff are very friendly. Pace of play was under 4 hours on a Sunday morning (unheard of in the Bay Area). Don't expect to be true-rolling birdie putts. Just go to have a good time, enjoy the views, and you'll be fine.

Great Place to View SF

This is a great layout. Sadly, the course needs significant attention, especially the greens. The greens are in such ragged condition that you really can't putt/keep score. It is a good place to practice, see great SF views and get a good workout walking the course.

Great twilight round

I started at 2:15pm and finished in time to watch the Giants win the pennant. What more can you ask for? This course was well-maintained, and a solid play, especially for the $22 twilight round.

One of the most scenic courses in San Francisco.

The course has awesome views of the Golden Gate.A beautiful course for lots of selfies.The course needs an infusion of so monies which the city dose not have?Interesting shots ,mostly short holes but lots of blind shots.Its worth the money just for the views.The course needs some new markings ,its easy to get confused on which way to go.Some holes not marked very clearly.Also three years of drought have done some damage.You need to get their in the morning before high schools come in the afternoon.Also playing in the fall is a good idea weather is the best then.

best value in sf with best views hands down

loved the layout with coastal pines. every hole has elevation. greens are not consistent. fairways are patchy. tee boxes are funny. but you cannot beat the views and weather in sf for $50 w/cart. would return just for the weather and views. fantastic day for me. the trak is not very difficult until you get to final three holes. 16th is much harder than 17th but once you realize you must hit a long fade its not too bad. good luck at the end.

poor lincoln!

used to be fun, drive and wedge. while the greens aerification was bad timing. the state of disrepair may be long term. apparently the city of San Francisco decided to quit watering the grass. trying to stave off criticism of wasting precious water during California's drought. still very scenic though.

It's worth the challenge

Just for the spectacular view of the Golden Gate and climbing up and down the terrain, I fully enjoyed playing there. It is a test for your cardiovascular condition if you walk the whole course. I'll definitely play there again.

Could be a Gem

Lincoln Park GC could be a gem. It is a shortish, sporty course on which 4 is a possible score on every hole. There are a lot of short par 4`s, one short par 5, but long par 3's. After an easy time for 15 holes, the last 3 are tough including the 240 yard par 3 17th with great views on the ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge. It's easy enough for all abilities to enjoy, but a challenge for highly skilled golfers to score well.
Unfortunately, the condition of the course is poor to fair. It would be great if the City could take some of the money coming in from Harding Park and upgrade Lincoln. With great conditions, it could be a mini-Cypress Point in the heart of SF.

Great SF Golf Expereince

I was up in SF and my wife was at a conference. I had the morning to myself and found Lincoln Park on Golf Now. I was pleasantly surprised by the course. Fun elevation changes, soft greens, AMAZING views of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridge. A personal favorite trait: no houses. Friendly staff and cool merchandise (bought a Nike rain jacket with SF Giants logo). Overall, I had a great time. I'd go back for sure.

Great views of Golden Gate Bridge, Pacific, and Bay.

Good tight fairways. Challenging to me. It is not a long course but I found it moderately difficult.
