Lincoln Park Golf Course

I have play at Lincoln Park Golf Course for the past few years and the course condition today (4/13/23) was in great shape (fairways are cut, greens are firm not wet and patchy), even after the rain storm we had recently in the bay area. I have played at three other golf courses recently (Poplar, Monarch, Franklin) around the bay area and they are not as good of a condition as the Lincoln Park Golf course. If you are young like me (60 years old) carry my own golf bag and walked the entire hilly golf course and got great workout. I was playing with another single golfer who was 69 years old (Mike, CEO) and he too carry his own golf bag and walked the entire time and he was there to witness I made an eagle on the 2nd hole par 4, 245 yards playing from the white tee box.

Thank you to the ground crew at Lincoln Park Golf course for keeping the course in great shape!

Course was soaking wet and muddy. It’s a crazy hike without a golf cart, (they don’t have any) up and down elevation all round. All the pull carts are broken so get ready for a hike and make sure you don’t have anything to do later that day

Enjoyable course to play close to the center of San Francisco decently maintained for the season with stunning view on the San Francisco Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge. Unfortunately the clubhouse was closed and in shabby condition, but the proshop has all you need what you could have forgotten.

We played FEB2023, and its been a wet winter. I'll play it this spring/summer and give more feedback. It's a nice little course, but you can tell it doesn't get much love. For the money, and it's 1/2 a mile from where I work, no brainer. My buddy's window got smashed and they swiped his back pack from back seat. DO NOT TAKE ANY VALUABLES TO THE COURSE!

Good Location with GGB & City View! That worth the price.

Amenities are not modernized. The sign and direction can be improved to avoid lost in the path.

Too many tourist and pedestrians in last several holes.

Pros:

- Great views

- historic

- hole 17 is amazing

Cons:

- hit fairways and still land in the dirt

- poorly kept greens

- bunch old angry men on monday afternoons

- ran out of carts on MOnday at 12:30

- don't recommend walking cause it gets hilly

overall: if you are out of town, it might be a good place to go but other than that, save your money and go somewhere the greens and fairways are better maintained.

Good place, but some sharp for play. If you want to practice for sharp course, this is excellent.

This is the DMV/TSA of golf courses. So much wasted potential while it's run by the city. Charging market prices for a course with no range, no restaurant, until recently they only had electric carts that had to be charged after one round. Any tee time after 11:30 you were SOL.

The course is VERY hilly and spread out. Feels like you are playing in Golden Gate park. Which would be cool, but the park feel is pretty strong. Like did somebody just punch some holes and call this a course? Greens were alright, most seemed to have different things growing on them so seldom did you have a really true roll. Showed up at 12:30, no starter on the first tee. Could have just shown up at hit without paying. $50 to rent a cart. Is this TPC Harding?

THE ENTIRE COURSE IS CART PATH ONLY. The reasoning we got was that some people crashed their carts and sued the city. At first, that sounded semi-logical but how come out of the 50 public courses I've played this is the only one that has had this issue? The more I think about it the more BS that reasoning sounds. If public courses all had that liability none of them would have carts..

A few holes have incredible views of the bay and GG bridge. Not sure why the city hasn't sold this to a professional golf course management company to do the place justice. This is a travesty.

Caveat:

I've played Lincoln Park before, during and after Covid-19. I'd say the current setup is the best the course has ever been. The employees are friendly and work hard. It's not their fault they haven't been given the tools to succeed.

W I arrived 2 hours early only to find out they have no power carts available which was included in my reservation. I’m a handicapped player!!!! They offered to rent me a push cart for 20 bucks. I’ll never be back there!!!

This course is definitely not in good shape. I guess if you walk it might b worth $30 but it’s more than that to play. God forbid you want to use a cart. 30$ as a single rider! You are looking at $80 to ride n play this course. That’s ridiculous for this track.

The course was not very well maintained. And to spend $150 I would expect the fairways to have a good amount of green grass. I have played many courses in hawaii and they were not anywhere near as expensive and were leaps and bounds above the condition of this course.
