Greetings from San Francisco! I'm new to the site and am looking to get back into golf in the Bay area. I played sparingly growing up, but I've got some good friends that play pretty frequently out here and I'd like to get up to speed. Any recommendations for good beginner courses would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Great to have you on the site.  I grew up in Millbrae and went to USF.  Great courses to start at would be Lincoln Park and Poplar Creek in San Mateo.

Welcome. I'm also from SF and went to school at USF too. As mvmac says, Lincoln Park is a good place to play for beginners and it's a very good rate. You also might wanna check Golden Gate Park's par-3 course and also Gleneagles is a very good 9-18 hole course.

My favorite city.  My dad was born there, and I spent a good portion of my preteen years there while my Grandpa was in and out of the VA hospital.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…

      Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.

      Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!

      2025 TST Birdie Challenge

      By Maroon88 · Posted

      I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
