I'm be in SF for a few days in about 1 1/2 weeks...What are some good courses to get a few rounds in? I've made a list but will probably only get a chance to play 2-3 rounds here...

-Lincoln Park Golf Course
-Gleneagles International Golf Course
-The Presidio Golf Course
-Harding Park
-Sharp Park Golf Course

1. Harding was remodeled a few years ago and now hosts the President's Cup. Good golf if you can get on.
2. Presidio's a solid track as well.
3. You may also want to check out Crystal Springs a few miles south.

Lincoln Park is a strange little track with maybe the single best view of the GG bridge in SF. I'd avoid Geneagles and Sharpe Park.

Weapons of choice:
Irons/wedges: Titleist Tour Grind
Driver:Titleist 909D2
3 Wood: Tour Edge Exotic
Putter: Odyssey White Hot

Good stuff guys...I am going in 2 weeks and I have about 3 days to play W-Thu-Friday. My flight on Friday is about 1 or 2pm, so I figure I can play maybe 9 or 18 on early Friday morning (I'm coming from the East Coast...so hopefully playing around 5 or 6am is going to be fine...). I am staying at the Airport for one night so I suppose Crystal Springs makes sense...and I will be staying downtown.

Right now I am thinking...
1. The Presidio
2. Lincoln Park
3. Crystal Springs

How's Poplar Creek Golf Course?? It's in pretty close proximity to the airport...

Also, how should I brace myself for the weather? I've never been to SF or played a links type course next to the Ocean. I'm thinking its going to be windy...probably going to add a jacket. Also, I will probably play sometime in the morning, perhaps pretty early as I am going to be 3HRs ahead...

You realize that you're only a 2 hour-ish drive to Pebble Beach/Spyglass Hills/Spanish Bay/Poppy Hills/etc...right?

If that drive isn't doable, I would seriously consider driving over to Half Moon Bay (40 minutes from SF) and playing the Half Moon Bay Golf Links - either course.

driver: FT-i tlcg 9.5˚ (Matrix Ozik XCONN Stiff)
4 wood: G10 (ProLaunch Red FW stiff)
3 -PW: :Titleist: 695 mb (Rifle flighted 6.0)
wedges:, 52˚, 56˚, 60˚
putter: Studio Select Newport 1.5

Poplar is flat, wide, and unremarkable. Crystal Springs is OK, but my complaint is all the sloping fairways. Good shots and bad shots all end up rolling down to the same spot.

If you can drive a little, consider some courses out of SF (Poplar and Crystal are well outside the city, btw). Cinnabar Hills is nice. Surprisingly, the greens at Lake Chabot were *immaculate* yesterday. (What happened to that place?!? I love it now!)

I also like Indian Valley golf club in Novato.

And yes, HMB is *nice*.

Thanks guys...you all have been more than helpful. I repped everyone here, if that means anything...

I still have a week before going so if I have any more questions I'll pose them here.
You realize that you're only a 2 hour-ish drive to Pebble Beach/Spyglass Hills/Spanish Bay/Poppy Hills/etc...right?

Had somewhat a vague idea...but this isn't a golf trip, so I am probably going to stay within SF...thanks for the heads up though. Certainly nice to know...

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.

      Day 565 - 2026-04-19 Wanted to get home to do some spring cleaning type stuff, so I practiced for about seven or eight minutes and got my butt home. Just backswing stuff, mostly, with freezers and a little downswing feel. Liking the new big mirror I have.
