Sharp Park Golf Course
Played On 10/09/2016Beautiful setting, course is just so-so
Some strong positives, and some equally strong negatives about this course. Starting with the plus side, the location of this course is absolutely terrific as you sit literally right next to the Pacific Ocean (no real ocean views however) and minutes from San Francisco. The ocean setting can provide some challenges with wind though, so be prepared and come with layered clothing (we played on a rare 80 degree sunny day, not typical whatsoever!) With a little investment, this course "could" be utterly phenomenal but it is, after all, a muni course and it definitely feels like one. No driving range. The fairways are mostly browned out, the sandtraps need serious trimming with overgrown lawn getting into them, the greens are challenging and probably the best kept part of the actual course. The cypress trees pose some shot challenges off the tees and for fairway approach shots - makes for some fun shot selections, especially given that this course is laid out in a rather predictable fashion. Basic upkeep could be added (example, the ball-washers are bone dry and/or completely broken.) Don't expect any amenities. Lastly, if you like to walk-play, this is an excellent course for that as most golfers walk the course (besides, the carts are gas-powered and all should have been put out of commission years ago.)
