Lincoln Park Golf Course

If it werent for the views this place should be free. Typical SF muni! The City putsno money into the place and it should be a gem. Lousy greens. like putting on cabbage. Fairways are worse.....nothing cutdown...no yardage markers. Just a disgrace to this great town. Facility is run down from clubhouse to carts. Lawns in the ghetto are in better shape than Lincoln. Private management group would be the best bet here rather than supporting some city agenda with the green fees.

Lincoln Park is a decent muni with great location and wonderful views. The course is on the easy side - it plays short and you don't really need your driver, although a few of the par 3s are long. Lots of ups and downs which adds an element of challenge and provides good exercise if you are walking! Condition of the greens was quite poor and variable - so putting wasn't a great experience. I was pleasantly surprised by the pace of play - 4 hours for 18 holes on a Sunday afternoon, that was great!

I walked on as a single on a Tuesday at noon. I played the front 9 without seeing a single person. I kind of was wanting to see someone. Be careful what you ask for.because when i hit the turn i caught up to everyone and it took all the joy that I had previously experienced. Oh well

Location is spectacular and the views are great. Will play again. Lots of fun.

Fantastic location and great value for money for a round of golf with stunning views. 2 of us were only charged $26 all up for the cart, not $26 each like some are saying. Enjoyed the whole experience of a round of golf in the USA'

For the price and convenience its a really good course. I do feel that since they don't let you split cart fee's its kinda of a rip off. Never heard of that before. So you can pay $18 for play but $26 for a cart, per person!!

They do bring out beers and food to you n the course, major thumbs up for that.

I walk since its a really short course.

It's a darned shame that this course has been allowed to fall into such poor shape.

The natural layout of this course is fantastic and could be (and probably was in the past) a jewel for San Francisco. The views are amazing. The course is very hilly, which makes it difficult to walk.

The club house should be cleaned and repainted. It could be condemned by the city. It obviously hasn't had attention in many years.

The greens roll at about 3 on the stemp meter and are mostly weeds rather than grass. The fairways are not much better.

The fees for nonresidents is completely out of line. $62.00 (with a cart) is a ridiculous amount for this dump.

The parking is a block away and the carts are not allowed in the parking lot, so you must carry your bag across a busy street to club house. The carts are old, gasoline powered, needing cleaning. Who uses gas carts any more?

It's a darned shame.

The course was in average condition and the greens need to be rolled .... Weather in that part of the world is cold ... Windy ... Foggy

The weeds on the greens slowed down the roll of golf balls.

Lincoln is a tough golf course to play. It has extreme uphill & downhill lies that fairway woods should not be used except in the tee box. This difficulty makes up for the shortness of the course of 5100 yards. The course is very dry due to the lack of rain & watering. Playing time was more than 4.5 hours due to slow groups ahead. No Marshall was around to enforce ready golf rules otherwise it was a decent experience.

I have played this course many times over the last 20 years. It is what it is - beautiful views of the Golden Gate is worth the price of admission and the terrain makes it challenging shot making. The course is short so the hills and trees really shape the
Shots. I think the greens were in the best shape I've seen them in a long time - they just need a rolling and a cutting to make them putt true and with a little speed. Maybe they will do that more frequently once Summer starts.

This course was a great challenge for a par 68. There isn't a throw away hole on the course. everything has elevation changes (typically sf), and a lot of blind shots so you have to lay up. if you go for the greens on say a 268yd par 4, you can get punished. Great value. but I can't understand why the greens were so slow, the probably rolled at a 7 and more people should complain about it because I would play there all the time if the greens were just cut lower.

Par 3's are a beast. Greens are super slow..Million dollar views...Great price

Love this course as a native San Franciscan. It is a fun course with a lot of variation. From the blues there are a couple of long par threes.

The greens are tough... and not in a good way. Shaggy on the Sunday we played.

Tee time at 8:15; any earlier and the fog would have been too thick...by the time we got to the 17th, fog had burned off enough to see the Golden Gate Bridge. Wow! Great course just for that but also good for a quick round as it is short compared to most. Staff was friendly and helpful to us tourists looking for a place to eat afterwards. Greens fees okay but cart rental pricey at 26 dollars PER PERSON. I'm walking next time...

An old fashion muni course that is a real gem. A very hilly course and not recommended for walking. You have views of the Pacific, Golden Gate Bridge, old Victorians, and San Francisco. This course proves the point that a course does not need to be long to be difficult. A premium is put on your short game; chipping and putting. Being a muni course it is not manicured but very playable. I would recommend it to anyone who really loves the game and is not looking for a resort course.

I havent played here in about 10 yrs but use to play this course every weekend..its a challenge to bend shots around this layout instead of just bombs away on most courses..fun an affordable it tests you mid to short iron game save for a couple holes..

Invited a friend from East Bay to play with me for the first time at the course. We were disappointed. The grass on the greens were like a "forest". The pace of the greens were all over the place and very inconsistent. The Marshal only rode around in cart and did not direct the playing pace. Basically, he was useless and the pace of play was like cross the Bay Bridge in commute hours.
For such as beautiful location and amazing views, it ashamed that there is little effort in maintaining the course at a high and inviting level. What a waste! The road through the gold course to the museum is awful. It's a shame that we are not taking advantage of such great location and making the course part of the tourist attraction. The entry to the course and its parking lot is so darn ugly is very unappealing. The Club house facility is in need of renovation. The bathroom facilities are awful and it appears the pipe insulation is asbestos containing.
I would vote a thousand times to put the course into the hands of a private entity and pay higher fees to play at this spectacular location. We need to take this facility out of the hands of the Park & Rec and City workers. They have no pride in their work and their value to actually make the course become revenue generator and self sufficient. Popular Creek in San Mateo is super compared to Lincoln Park. The worst resort course is of a higher standard than Lincoln Park.

Beautiful course. Scenery is amazing. Old school course. Played the morning after rain, but the course played pretty decent. Some mud and puddles here and there, but I expected that. Course is on the shorter side but the holes are fun and challenging. It's a hilly course with some blind shots And some tough greens. Hole #17 lives up to it's reputation. Great way to spend a Saturday morning.

But we still wanted 2 hit the course
After a hour + waiting out the rain we got 9 in and had a great time on the back
What is the policy w/ Golf Now w/ rain.
I didn't want 2 lose my foursome $ I had paid for on my credit card
