Great experience for a visitor

Excellent value. Awesome views. Challenging layout. Course plays very short on everything except some long par 3s to finish. Some great elevation changes as you would expect in SF. The ocean front and views of the ocean, bay, and city are the highlights. Fairways were fair, but extremely soggy. Greens were not in great condition, but weren’t horrible. Sand was in good sharp. Short course - big hitters can mostly leave the driver in the car. Many holes were 4 iron tee and a wedge. Very fun though. Had perfect weather and no waiting (teed off at 7:20 though).

Mixed experience (no carts)

The course provided rental clubs to the group. However, there were no carts or pull carts so the group decided not to continue after 9 holes. This is the 3rd time this happened - no carts available. The course should increase inventory of carts and pull carts. After happening 3 times, likely won’t return.

Fantastic views and great value!

Not many golf carts available so we walked 18 and actually glad that was the case. Lots of inclines and declines and a challenging layout. Greens were in good shape. Watch out for random people walking or biking on the cart paths. Beautiful views!

This course is a waste of time

Purchases the deal in golf now are included cart for this hilly course but they said is first come first serve and offer us two broken push carts have not front wheels. We gave up after 4 holes cause we brought heavy cart bags and it reach 90 degree. Walked back and found guys behind us have carts who paid extra $ 50 per carts.

Lincoln 9/26/23

1). Greens were poor. Many ball marks never repaired - leaving scarred, black spots of bared ground

2). Sections of many fairways had brown, bare ground ☹️

3) optional cart fee was outrageous. $50 per cart whether shared or single….noted that manual carts were available….

Lincoln value not worth a penny

The Greens are in the worst condition possible. Major fungus and diseased grass on all green. 50% of the game is played on a putting green and the greens are just bad.

No bathrooms on the course after the 5th hole - just lots of players using the trees as bathrooms everywhere on the remaining 13 holes. The club house is in poor shape, the trip down the stairs to use the Men’s room is dangerous. There is even a sign warning people of the steps down.

I will not be returning to play at Lincoln Park Golf Course until a major renovation is done on the course and to its facilities. They have raised the price to play and rock bottomed the quality of the course. Disgraceful !

Rundown golf course desperately seeking makeover

I like the layout of the course overall!

It’s just shame that didn’t have proper management of the course. It is beautiful course that needs little more maintenance!!

No Carts!

We arrived on time to check in. The attendant said there are no carts available! What? He offered to charge $20 per push cart. I had a sore Achilles to start with, so we only lasted 9 holes. Horrible traffic to get there. I won't be playing that dated course again.

Ok

OK the golf course was great I just couldn't believe they charge $50 for a golf cart and it's cartpath only but I understand the car path only people driving on that course with this terret up but $50 for a cart is ridiculous but outside of that, it was a great day A lot of fun that course.

Flop

We had high hopes for Lincoln Park based on the location and steep price. When my foursome checked in during the late morning, they had no more carts available! What kind of golf course runs out of carts before 11:00 AM?! The greens were recently punched, so they were very bumpy and sandy. The fairways were in poor shape and hard to differentiate from the rough. This course has so much potential because of the location and views. It was quite disappointing.

Beautiful location, but a bit run down, great place to get away form hot weather

This is a very old muni course and it looks its age. Buildings all original. Amenities limited to indoor electronic simulator range, which was closed when I arrived at 12:30 pm and a putting green consisting of a putting surface, but no holes.

The greens on the course are full of unrepaired ball marks.

Nonetheless, I recommend the course because it's an interesting, albeit short layout in a beautiful area.

On the day I played, the temperature at the course was in the low 60's, and foggy, while the temperature at my home, some 20 miles away, was in the mid 90's, making this a great place to beat the heat and play some golf.
