TPC Harding Park

Out of town rates are very overpriced for what you get. And with the proposed cuts to SF Parks & Recreation, the costs are likely to go up. Still, it's the best public course in San Francisco. But that's not saying much. Staff is excellent but the course itself is nothing to write home about. The 9-hole Flemming course is actually pretty cool. I find myself playing the 9-hole more than the Championship course. Slow play, good condition, uninspiring layout, some scenic views, some terrible views of all the homeless campers, friendly and helpful staff. Better options are out there if you're willing to drive.

Beautiful course and layout mired by slow play. Back nine took close to three hours… not a ranger in sight.

TPC Harding Park is a nice course, but only for the Back 9, cause there's not much design in the Front 9 (if you take photos, they'll pretty much look the same), just carpet-like fairway makes you feel like playing in the PGA certified course. (meanwhile I just personally don't like the course surrounded by buildings and traffic) And as the matter of fact, the Back 9 is really better with view to the lake, and luckily I played during late afternoon, the sunset colored the course with golden rays.
