TPC Harding Park - Harding Course

Great layout and green complexes. The tee shots are a little boring though. Just wish there was more fairway hazards, which would allow for wider fairways and more strategy. If the fairways are slightly wider I think you could compensate with longer more penalizing rough as well. Just moved to SF though, so excited to see course condition in the Early summer.

It's need a lot of work to make this a TPC course.
It's a public course with a big name.

Paid $86pp. The hot deal usually pops out 15 min after midnight 7-8 days before and they go real quick. They trimmed the thought down a bit so i had a less terrible shot. Bunkers are packed underneath w loose sand on top. It should be easier to hit out for some since it’s not overly fluffy. It’s challenging and you could still lose your ball easily in the rough. Glad I had 3 ppl helping to look. Cad path only rule was in effect which did not help but our group is super fast. We finished the round in 4 hour 10 mins. Could have been quicker if the group in the front moves faster. Will come back to play again when we visit!

Nice conditions except for the greens were aerated and were very bumpy and slow. No warning when tee time was made. We got stuck behind a 4 some for about 13 holes. The group was holding up a few groups behind. Marshall should have asked them to speed up or let groups pass.

This was my first time on the course, got to check this off my bucket list, I’ve been wanting to play it since I watched the PGA on TV. Really great layout, great conditions overall. Friendly staff and great halfway house with all the snacks you could want. Try the breakfast burrito, it was huge and delicious.

For a TPC course it's not up to standards. Over priced for this TPC course.

Going to Harding Park to play the TPC is always a thrill. The fact that is has hosted some major tournaments now and has such a wonderful golf history makes it a special day. The course right now is in disrepair. The sand traps are hard pack, barely any sand in them and there is now grass growing in some of the fairway bunkers. The greens are a mess now and they have now ariated and sanded them. That's the first step to getting them back in shape. The rough is so thick that it looks like it hasn't been groomed or attended to in quite some time - easily 5-6" of gnarly stuff making it very tough to recover. US Open Level for sure! The fairways are ok and they are reshaping/reworking green side bunkers on 10 and 14. Look, the bones are all there to bring this track right back to were it was when Colin won there a few years ago. It just needs a BIG dose of TLC - PLEASE!! They did lower rates to 1/2 price @$75 weekdays on Golf Now, but right now, I think that's even a little too much.

Everything was great. The only criticism is that they should let you drive the cart on the fairway. If you are going to play here, rent the push cart instead.

The only thing that bugs me is that there is no reason to rent a cart because it’s cart path only and it is more walking doing that then just bringing push cart. It’s always that way so just know that when playing Harding Park. Beautiful though best public course in Northern California

I live close to Harding but don’t play the course much. The Bay Area is blessed with many golf courses to choose from. While Harding is nice, the course isn’t very challenging and the conditions of the greens was appalling as were some bunkers. The fairways were nearly manicured while the rough was penalizing.

For how much you have to pay, the condition is just okay.

Greens are super slow with a lot of ball marks. Patchy fairways here and there. No sand in bunkers. Classic overplayed Muni where they somehow hosted a major tournament. Don’t even compare this to Torrey Pines or any other TPC courses. There are 4 holes in the front 9 that look identical without much inspiration.

I play here regularly with the resident rate and would never play here for a dime more than $90 (or for a advance booking fee) For those of you who pay $130-200, you will be seriously disappointed. There are way better courses with better value around the area - half moon bay, presidio, wente - just to name a few.
