TPC Harding Park - Harding Course

Excellent course. Conditions were as good as they will ever get. Greens were firm and fast. Fairways were in great condition, too. Rough was extremely challenging to get out of.

the rough and fairways are setup for the PGA. If you cant keep it straight then expect a long day. the rough is at least 4in thick and will grab your club from advancing forward. it humbles me how good PGA tour players are in this stuff. tee boxes were fair. fairway was in good condition but much narrow than usual. mix in the damp air and wind, your ball flight will barely fly to your normal length. If you play before August 2020, bring your "A" game. If you dont have one or unsure, wait until after the PGA tourney. For the prices the residents pay, i think its a bit high but in comparison to non-residents, im sure glad i live in SF.

The 2nd cut of rough was extremely deep. All of us had difficulty getting out of it . Fairways and greens were in the best condition I've ever seen on any course. Probably because they are prepping for the PGA Championship in August. Great course if you can find the right rate.

Enjoyed playing the course for the first time. Fairways and greens in great shape. The rough is very difficult. If you are off the fairway the ball will be in very high rough, which was new for me. Recommend taking an iron and getting the ball back in the fairway or you will ruin your round going from one spot in the rough to the next. Surprised that the traps were very very hard with a very thin layer of sand. Assume more sand will be brought prior to the PGA Championshii in early August.

I played there yesterday and there are already many holes I can't remember.

I have only played there once or twice since the Great Remodel. Since the routing is the same (except for the tweaked par 4 13th), and the wind hasn't changed, the course plays a lot like the old Harding.

Yes, the course conditions are better in every way. And since I wanted to play it before the PGA, I got to experience (slightly spongy) fairways cut to 60-70% of their normal width. Some of the "new" rough was a little brown but very deep. Keeping it in the fairway for the next couple months will be critical; it also caused a lot of ball hunting and slower play.

The greens were slower than I expected, but I'm sure they are preserving them for the PGA.

In this pandemic and PGA prep time, the driving range and short game practice area were both closed.

Want to play a public Major Championship course? You have very few choices. How much do you want to ante up?

excellent course excellent marshaling never waited to hit thank you Harding Park

I play Harding every couple years, and always leave somewhat disappointed. One of those courses i want to like more than I am able to.

This time had great weather (very unusual) ... but combination of grumpy employess and poor conditions made it my worst golfing experience this year.

If you've ever wanted to experience a championship ready course, now is your chance! For those of you close enough to TPC Harding Park or willing to make the trip, you will not be disappointed. If you can keep it in the fairway, you'll have a real look at some low numbers. If you find yourself in the rough, beware. My arms hurt just thinking about it.

Other than the conditions, the imposing Grand Cypress trees and gorgeous vistas make this a more than worthy site for a championship. Best of luck to get a tee time and here's to hoping we get to host the PGA Championship here soon!

The social distancing mandates forcing twosomes have made Harding Park an even more enjoyable walk among the most impressive and imposing trees in golf. It feels like a country club where you can enjoy the beautiful lakeside setting without scores of other golfers invading your space.
The rough is lush and ready for a PGA Championship should the tournament take place in August. If you keep your ball in the fairway, you've got a chance to score. All in all, I gained a new respect for this Bay Area standout.

Course looks great. Fairways look professional. Rough is brutal for the PGA championship. All tee times are twosomes which makes for great pace of play. No reason not to come out.

They have the course looking great getting ready for the pga in May. Weather was 68 degrees with no wind. Doesn’t get any better.

A friend and I thought we should get this one in before the PGA gets a hold of it for the pros. The fairways are already shaped at about 35 yards wide and the ruff is thick enough to walk over your ball and miss it completely. We played with a twosome father and son and they gave us great course knowledge and it help us a lot as we navigated our way through the front nine and then the prettier back nine.

I finally got.my swing in order by the 9th hole and started to have a fun from the 10th onward. The 16th, 17th, and 18th were a blast and offered a great photo opportunity. I pared the 18th with a nice drive just past the crest, and a beautiful iron shot onto the green 8 feet away from the pin. I think we’re going to come again and try and play the course after the tournament to see how we score.

After a round my friend and I stored our clubs on the storage rack directly in front of the front door and went inside for one beer. When I came out to collect my clubs and leave, they were nowhere to be seen. The staff was no help, did not seem interested or concerned. When I asked about possible security cameras at the front door their response was “we have a no security camera policy”. Huh??

Apparently theft is a big problem at Harding Park, why on earth would they not install security cameras?

My clubs were a new set, less than a year old.
