This is one of the most challenging tracks around. The layout is great, the hilly lies make all second shots more difficult. It has the potential to be amazing. It needs more upkeep, plain and simple, the drought is not helping and the fairways have gone to crap with lots of bare patches and huge amounts of sandy areas. The greens had always been in great shape but right now they are ridiculously long which makes them slower than molasses and tar! A good trim would fix that so that you’re not penalized for hitting the green. The staff is always nice and welcoming, just wish there were more of them to upkeep this potential gem of a course

Course is in decent shape. The greens were recently aerated so still sandy which made the rolls erratic, but the course itself is iok. Early afternoon tee time, there was no one else on the course so pace was excellent. The clubhouse bar/restaurant re-9opened and it is a great one.

Hidden Gem

Course is in improving shape-fairways, greens are outstanding, true fast and tough. Not an easy track by any means, whether playing from blue tees or yellows (2nd set of tee boxes to make an interesting 18 out of this 9 hole course). Well worth visiting regularly. Staff is helpful and friendly even if you’re not a regular

A good course that keeps on getting better

I’ve played Sharp ref since July 2020. The staff has worked hard to improve the fairways and the greens and their efforts are starting to improve. This magnificent Alistair McKenzie layout is getting the care such a historic design deserves. Thanks to the ground and green keepers who are doing a great job.
A great course continues to get better which is why I come back so often!

Hidden Gem

Once again Gleneagles in McLaren Park did not disappoint. This a challenging, demanding course.
The course is in great shape, the fairways included. The greens remain arguably the best greens in the Bay Area, and certainly in San Francisco -Harding included!
Super friendly staff and course pup-George.
We’ll be back, this is truly a diamond in the rough of a course!

Keeps getting better and better

I’ve been playing Sharp regularly-several times a month, the course just keeps getting better and better. The staff has worked tirelessly on the greens and their efforts have yielded great firm and true greens. The traps are just ok but I that’s the only negative (and it’s a minor one). The fairways are also in superb shape. All in all a great course, great value if you have a SF resident card. I will continue to come back often.

Much improved

Greens were recently sanded and aerated, there a bit slow but they’re in the best shape they’ve been in a really long time. Lots of fun today

The hidden gem of Visitacion Valley

First time playing at Gleneagles. Absolutely 9 hole hilly layout, the course is in mostly excellent shape with some bare patches here and there, but arguably the best greens of any one of the SF city courses.
The course is challenging and well treed, to make fairway position capital for second and third shots. The hillside layout has elevated greens, several greens are tiered increasing the challenge..
The staff member we encountered could not have been nicer or more helpful..
hard to judge the clubhouse as we are in strict confinement rules and could not go inside to the bar.
All in all this is a fabulous course and we will be returning regularly.

Super layout

Great McKenzie course, with a back nine that has à links feel. Truly beautiful holes, greens are in the process of being refitted so the greens that were not temporary were deeply sanded. Rest of the course is superb so that whenever the greens catch up, this gem of a course will be an absolute steal for 34 bucks with an SF resident card.
No club house and no amenities, but the checking in staff could not have been nicer and more welcoming.
Definitely coming back.

COULDA

Lincoln Park, could be such a gem if the City gave a hoot.. it has an awesome layout going to the cliffs overlooking the south side of the Golden Gate entrance to SF Bay, with truly spectacular bay views. The inland holes have great city views as well. The layout is short but demanding, the backside par threes are all over 200 yds- from the whites!
All the makings of a spectacular course are there. BUT and it is a big but indeed, the course suffers from neglect. The tee boxes are mangled, the fairways and green sides are pretty barren, the domed greens are completely pockmarked and poorly mowed. Pace varies but if you have a slow group in front of you, don’t expect a Marshall to speed up play, there isn’t one around.
This course needs to go the way Harding park did and be taken over a golf management company that will rehabilitate it. At $33 for an SFresident with a card, it’s not horrendous, but you really get what you pay for. Personally, I would not mind paying more if it were adequately maintained. It could be that good.

Superb experience

This is one of NorCal’s finest offerings.
Great scenic layout, superbly maintained. Great clubhouse and very friendly and welcoming staff. Grass driving range with plenty of room and targets as well as unlimited balls-part of green fee.
Only complaint-pin placements were downright wicked. All in all though a great place to play

Muddy new year

Course was a tad muddy from the rains, but it is still one of the best value for San Francisco residents. Back nine greens are definitely better, but front nie layout is awesome. Will be back fro sure, often!
