Watch out for single golfers who hit multiple balls on every hole and won’t join up with others to help speed play

Had to wait on every shot due to local single who would not follow golf etiquette. Played multiple balls on every hole and shagged balls in the rough while holding up everyone behind her. Would not willingly join twosome ahead of her. They left-would not catch up to next group ahead of her. Mentioned her behavior to staff-I don’t think I was the first person to complain.

Marshall stole our cart key

Marshall stole our cart key, ran away and hid. While we were calling the shop he shows up and drives our cart away with the clubs saying “I’m gonna throw your clubs in the parking lot”. It was Cart path only. We drove on the fairway to pick up a ball and immediately went back on cart path. Childish behavior from the Marshall. No warning. And to steal the cart key while we are teeing off? Really?

The course was in great condition.

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!

No golf carts

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

Great views on the Golden Gate bridge

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.

played in winter conditions

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

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.

Good view, poorly kept course

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.
