Beautiful course

Overall a nice course with a good layout. There is a lot of walking up and down the hills of San Francisco though. For the price, this course is challenging but open as well. Some nice par 4’s that are driveable. Fun course to play!

Golfing with Amazing Views!

The course is challenging with many blind shots required! Extremely hilly, so a riding cart is advised; however it is walkable if you’re in shape. I’m 57, and my foursome walked: 2 carried and 2 pushed clubs. Fantastic views all along the course! Great photo opportunities of the Golden Gate Bridge.

I would play this course anytime!

Used cart

Bad

guy in the pro shop was horrible, almost scared us away before we even started the round. "Stay on the cart path if you don't well kick you out of here got it and I mean it we will kick you out"

So dumb. Not like I couldn't read the 30 signs on my way in that say cart path only.

Pace of platy was slow and marshals didn't nothing about it.

Great course! Beautiful views!

If you like beautiful views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate Park and the Pacific Ocean all at the same place this is your golf course! It’s a hilly course that will test your club distances but I recommend playing the course.

Poor conditions but spectacular views

The SF parks and recreation department needs to step up maintenance and course amenities. There are no garbage cans so beer cans litter the tee boxes. There are no hole information signs. There are pedestrians walking over the course and we had to hit around a junkie zoning out on the 17th fairway. The clubhouse amenities were old and tattered

That said the views were gorgeous. The course is historic. It's like a faded old movie star.

Green was aerated

Without knowing it, we went on booked play on March 20th and surprised! There were a few temporary greens where original greens were fully covered by sands.

Hope there should be warning or something to alarm us before we book a tee time.

Worst. Course. Ever.

This has got to be the most poorly maintained course I have ever played at yet the conditions inside the clubhouse managed to be even worse. They charge $50 for the round and another $30 for the cart - where in the world is this money going?? I suspect that the staff must be pocketing some of the money and I hope someone will audit the situation. The staff, by the way, are easily the most rude I have ever encountered. Stay far away!

good view

Course condition is ok. But the rental fee for a pull cart was unbelievably high as $20, too much.
