What can I say that hasn’t already been said about this course? Probably not much expect that I do not agree with the 4.4 star rating on Google reviews. It should be higher! Phenomenal course!

Such a beautiful golf course! Very well maintained and managed course in a gorgeous setting. They are taking Covid-19 cautions very seriously.

TPC Harding Park, 99 Harding Rd, San Francisco, CA 94132, United States was first opened as Harding Park Golf Club in 1925 to a design by Willie Watson & Sam Whiting. The property is on the edge of Lake Merced and is one of four terrific golf courses in that neck of the woods. Harding Park is a designated municipal golf course that is wholly owned by the city and county of San Francisco.Over the decades Harding Park became a little less-loved, falling into a state of disrepair that was only reversed when this municipally-owned golf course secured municipal funding for a makeover. Renovation of the golf course began in the spring of 2002, was completed and the course reopened in Autumn 2003.Vindication of that municipal investment came in the form of the increasing number of elite golf tournaments that were attracted to Harding Park. The icing on the cake arrived when Harding Park hosted the 102nd edition of the PGA Championship in August 2020, won by Collin Morikawa.

I really loved played here. Gorgeous course, tough but also reasonable with scoring opportunities. I am a little sad that even with a bay area local discount, and only walking, it was $200, which for me means it will have to be a rare thing.

A well-maintained park and golf course that is home to the 2020 PGA Golf Tournament. Peaceful and beautiful, club house has a lovely brunch open to public last time I checked. Nice for friends and family from out of town, especially in summer/early fall months.

Harding Park is one of our last great SF public resources, well a golf course, for San Francisco residents and it has a great restaurant to boot!! its generally amazing but it also has free parking and an abundance of it so that pretty much seals it. I dont know of any other public golf courses in San Francisco, but since I am not a golfer, I would not. There is also what appears to be A well-stocked Pro Shop in the clubhouse. I hope it is the only one we have since golf courses take up tons of space and tons of water, but the two-story, spacious restaurant is top-notch and the wait staff is always so kind. It is fantastic that they cycle in new menu items that are comprable to the ones they are cycling out, So you wont get bored with the menu. There is always a wonderful Sunday brunch, as well. it is without a doubt one of the Hidden gems of San Francisco

Cross that off the Bucket List. Played there whilst on holidays from Australia. Easy to book my tee time on line. When I got there. Staff were great. Looked after me as I was on my own. Placed me in a three ball and had a great dayReally good public course. Still cannot beleive it is public.

One of the best muni’s in America! Awesome course!!

Front nine is pretty boring. Back nine is more entertaining. Not at all worth what they charge to play here.

For a novice boba lover like me this place is good but not for me they have tons of variety too and their tea is also specially really good none of that sugary tea more original

Beautiful place, hidden in a big city

The lake makes it refreshing in the sun or in the fog.

Great course but not easy to play...

Harding Park is overrated compared to other top tier courses in the area. It’s nice but isn’t the most memorable layout.

Beautiful. Perfect day. Greens could be a touch faster.

Nice, well maintained golf course, clubhouse, lots of open space for walking, jogging, etc. Golf facility with pro shop, popular dining room, and parklands wrapped around a large lake area. Close to SF State, Park Merced, and southwestern limits of City of San Francisco.

Course in good shape, however obvious that a lot of rounds are played here. Rough is getting deep, and the fairways have been narrowed. No driving range, just a net. Staff needs training on basic customer service skills. Nice place, but not worth the money if you are from out of town.

This golf course is hosting the 2020 PGA Championship. It is a public course, owned by the city of San Francisco and is now a full fledged TPC course. It has hosted many important tournaments from the SF City Championship to the Presidents Cup.

Such a great course...had a ball....️

Great course! Friendly staff!

2nd TPC course I played during my west coast trip, boy it wasnt a let down. For a public course it is unreal, super wide fairways and such sceneries every hole can be viewed. The pro shop was nice, decent practice range. Chipping section was closed that day I played but thats ok. Starter let me go early as the group ahead of my tee time was late. Booked through their site and got $80 deal usually $160 I believe, pretty good rate if you ask me as we pay $80 regularly in Toronto and its nowhere close to a TPC setup. The conditions were great, I was told by my local playing partner (whos also a member a Stone Brae) that the conditions are good and the greens were rolling true. Rough is not as bad but everything else is in great conditions. I would definitely play Harding park on my next visit! Oh ya, tough 3 finishing holes! Well recommended

A hidden exposed wonderful setting restaurant nestled by the lake

Awesome beautiful park

THIS PLACE IS THE WORST! Good luck trying to get a tee time and Harding actually letting you go at that time. Course conditions are always wet, muddy, and greens roll at 7’s. Feels like your putting on carpet. Championship venue...BS! On top of all this my friend had an email confirmation for this weekend and they called us saying the tee time never existed a couple days before. Now we’re stuck with poor tee times and can’t play. STAY AWAY, money well spent at other courses.

Pretty odd that they don’t open until an hour after it gets light. Even the practice green. Also, the driving range is not real grass and for now you have to hit into a net, so not that useful.The course is well kept, challenging and fun. They’re increasing difficulty for an upcoming tournament so fairways are narrow and rough is punishing. It gets very windy in the afternoon.

Played with a friend and one person that the pro shop sent out with us on a recent weekday afternoon. Course is playing very tough right now as they prepare for the PGA Championship in 2020 - barrow fairways with thick rough all around. The greens are still pretty sloppy - it’s a Muni course so it gets a ton of play and many people do not fix their ball marks on the greens or drag their feet and scuff the grass. We played behind a foursome and kept up with them all day. Waiting briefly on the par 3’s. We finished in 4h 25m so I was pleasantly surprised as most munis can take a lot closer to 5h to play in SF.

This was a great course. I was treated to a round here and was quite surprised to hear about the history and the future PGA tournament to be coming here. The Course was very challenging and in great shape. We also had lunch afterwards which was very good as well. I hope to get back Harding Park some day. Thanks for the experience!!

The course layout and design are super fun and challenging but the pace of play was tough to deal with being a public course. We had to call the marshall out to get the group moving in front of us which helped but it was still a long day. The greens were nice and soft but a little beat up because of the amount of play they receive. When we checked in we were told that if we have any valuables in the car (luggage, etc...) that it needed to be stored in the golf club due to the amount of theft that happens in the parking lot. It was great that they let us know but at the same time, if its a recurring problem then they should have someone patrolling or checking people in as they come into the parking lot.

A little pricey for a tourist, but worth it. Excellent conditions, top notch staff, beautiful scenery. Just wish I had played better.

With the rough as lush and thick as it is, this place is primed to provide a tough test of driving accuracy in the PGA 2020.. Awesome layout.

I just got the email from the GolfSee you later Thanks Sean

Id give it 4.75 if I could, I love this place, its my home track. But there are a couple of issues that keep it from a 5 star, for what they charge out of towners it should be a little better kept.

Its actually a 4.3The course itself is very nice. Pretty decent layout (seems easy for PGA) good conditions (I thought the greens would be faster)The pace of play was really bad and couple that with cart path only made for a long day. Long enough my group stopped playing on 13, so I didnt even get to see the finishing holes. That was disappointing.Overall I would recommend

Great course. Needs water fountains for drinking water!

I had high expectations considering it’s a TPC and PGA worthy course. However, upon tee time receipt I received an email depicting proper golf etiquette and apparels. This was clearly not enforced upon arriving. The Course itself needed major maintenance; from several dead spots on fairways to holes in greens. Not to mention the random walkers that strolled through the fairway that clearly were not golfing. They need to enforce proper golf etiquette on the course to protect its integrity or begin limiting public play. Currently not PGA tournament worthy and hope they can rebound within the next year.

Best with residents card. Classic SF course.

Nice track. Long rough, easy to walk.

PGA Championship course in 2020

Had high hopes as it will host the PGA Championship in 6 months time...... complete let down. This public-municipal course wouldn’t be worth more than 30-40 $ anywhere else. Unfortunately I CANNOT recommend :(

Great course, but come warmed up as the driving range is out of commission indefinitely.

Nice clean & quiet spot for breakfast or brunch..

Worst shape Ive ever played it. Very disappointed

No expect it is a muni. had a lot of fun with 3 other seniors. all walking though. Greens and fairways are fair condition but not fast as expected this time. Prepare water bottle since no fountain on the course. Coursewise, it is over priced if you are not a resident.

This course loves to dick people around with times on the Fleming course. Drove in from Oakland after calling an hour in advance and was told walk up would be fine. Got to the course and they had spraying going on for a 2 hour delay. This has happened to me twice l. BEWARE

Golf. not bad. played here a couple hundred times. golf.

5 stars. Weather is a challenge.

Great place to visit.

TPC is always a great track, with well manicured fairways and smooth greens. Its links-style so there is no OB on the front nine, and all OB is on the left on the back nine. The rates are great if you are a city resident and have a resident card. Not always easy to get a tee time but as a single they almost always get you a spot quickly. Fun, challenging course and I always seem to shoot my best rounds here.

This golf course is beautiful. Just challenging enough without being too difficult. You feel like your on the PGA your playing here.

Great food nice people and good golfing

Best course Ive played.

Course is a blast to play. Honestly enjoyed every hole. There are no water coolers on the course, which is lame and reason for the loss of a star. The five finishing holes are awesome and finishing on 18 with the restaurant and pro shop watching is fun. Its not a cheap round but Id say its worth a go at least once.

Awesome Park

Lerfect condition. You can see how tour pros hIt good shots when ythey perfecr fIrways

Beautiful course with a the 9 hole Fleming Course also. Both choices offer quality golf at a great price for Bay Area residents and even more so for San Francisco residents with resident cards.

Love this course. Well maintained. Coffee shop food is very tasty with great drinks also.

I always park off Lake Merced Blvd, by the De Anza statue, and walk across the bridge, through the golf course. The giant trees and finely manicured lawns are an excellent backdrop to the prim clubhouse. Excellent place to take visitors to SF for a quiet breakfast/brunch/lunch. Very fluffy pancakes.

I love harding park, and its a great course and I DID played there for over 20 years. Now they have raised the green fees so HIGH for locals that harding or TPC has eliminated all local traffic, and at almost 100$ green fees for locals and for out of towners man its like 200$ without a cart. Lame!

A good play.

Always good conditions and fun times playing golf at Harding & Fleming

Very green and peaceful to walk

First class golf course. Food and drinks are fabulous. Golfing is amazing. The greens are a 10.

Iconic course, with a deep history. Att championship with the tiger v. John Daly in ~2006. Daly missed a 3 putt on 1st playoff hole.. Presidents cup, at least 3 senior schwab Championships. For out of towners its like $150+.. Thats CRAZY! you could play 7 rounds with cart and decent courses fot that! Residents card is $40 to walk. Thats reasonable. And it is walkable. Very little up and down for an sf course. It is long though, especially from the back tees, and while most holes are tree lined the fairways are typically generous and fairly wide. Driving range is small and expensive and the balls are usually pretty beat up. They added a nice free putting green, a huge upgrade over the one by the first tee. There is a small free chipping green too, good for shots

Pretty nice park though there are raccoons that people have fed so they approach you for food. Unfortunately for both sides (the animals and the humans in the area). Lake is nice.

This is a review for the Cypress Grill at Harding Park.Great view and awesome sandwiches.The Prime Rib sandwich dip is BACK!Their burger is good too. Garlic fries are decent.And parking... Just dont park near the entrance on the left in front of the grass. Ive seen a large dimple appear on someones hood. Otherwise, no stress (and free) parking in San Francisco. Am I dreaming?

Great

TPC Harding Park rated 4-1/2 stars: Northern Californias standard bearer is the resplendently restored TPC Harding Park, now a member of the Tournament Players Club network. As a recent venue for WGC events and the 2009 Presidents Cup, the renaissance of this excellent parkland layout has been recognised at the highest levels in golf.

The back 9 is considerably more interesting than the front. After TPC got a hold of it the conditioning is up to par with other courses in the area.

Ok course .. not as impressed as I was expecting to be.

Fairways in good shape. Greens just sanded and aereated.

Best public course in the bay area. Well maintained and helpful staff. Beautiful grounds.

Quality golf course but very over priced if not a SF resident. Range is under reconstruction since the nets fell. Knocked off two stars because greens are slow and pace of play is a snails pace.

Iconic SF old-school course fully updated. A must play - the stomping grounds of Venturi, Harvy Ward, Johnny Miller and many others. Boom

Very nice surprise.Food very good, wonderful clam chowder.Views make you feel like you.are at Monterey Bay. Prices fair, place is lively, a bit noicey.Service also excellent.

Had lunch at Cypress Grill at Harding Park Golf course, San Francisco.Sitting by the window overlooking the #18 fairway and the green with the lake in the background. Great view.Ordered an Angus Beef Burger for $14.The burger was great, but the fries were burned and inedible.Asked the waitress to change to some edible fries.Everyone is getting the same kind of fries, she responded.Later she showed me some burned fries other customers ordered but did nothing to my complaint.What grade should I give the food and service?

Great public course. Didnt disappoint. Impeccably kept

It is really a PGA caliber course

The staff was excellent, very helpful from booking tee time to get setup with rental clubs A+ experience

The course was in great shape. The greens were fast and smooth. Personally, I think this course is better than Torry Pines.

A solid golf course. Unfortunately they was airifying the greens but good information before the round and also plus for discounted green fee.

Good restaurant

Great golf course. Well maintained.

To expensive. No rainchecks

Great course. If you have the SF Resident card its a great value, otherwise its pretty expensive.Can be a bit slow on weekends, but get in early and just enjoy the beautiful old course.

Great course! Challenging, but fun. Service is great. Highly recommended!

Im partial because Im a groundskeeper there, but I love working at this course as well as playing it.Great place!

Its awesome to have a public course like the TPC Harding Park. I live in SF and got a resident card from the city hall. Youll get your money worth by just playing two round of golf. Do it.

This course is in impeccable shape with a solid layout through the northern California cypress trees. Solid restaurant. The greens fees are a little overpriced due to the PGA having taken over management.

Greens were messed up.

Stopped here for dragon boat practice. The park seemed nice and was fairly busy. Would likely stop here again.

I Loved this place so much..

Excellent place to eat or relax. Great golf course as well.

The place made me feel like walking the whole erea it is very beautiful there.I would love to take my Wife there again we had a great time. TTFN Ronnie

Rude clubhouse staff, accused me of accusing them of lying (which I didn’t, and yet they were) made no offer to remedy my losses and admit they had made a mistake. I was prepared to spend several hundred dollars and Instagram the beauty of it the course, but after their immature attitudes will not grace this business not allow anyone I know to play here ever again. Bad attitudes. Bad business. Liars to your face. And I’m out $80 without swinging a golf club a single time. Ruined half a day of my anniversary trip. Spend your money elsewhere.

Breathtaking views. While I can only speak on the clubhouse, the rest of the park and facilities looked beautiful and were seemingly popular as well. I was here for a memorial of a friend. It left quite the impression. The clubhouses event room was way to small to house the memorial guests, and it became a little uncomfortable after 2-3 hours of standing room only, however there was a deck just behind the floor to ceiling windows and the fresh coastal air felt godsent. The venue had a bar and light snacks which i proceeded to spill on the floor...Twice. I gave up and abandoned my dinnerware. There was a projector screen and projector presumably for pharmacorp conventions and bachelor parties...Which translated surprisingly well for a funeral Service.

Holes are easy but the greens are well maintained. Nice round for 9 hole

Your vehicle WILL be broken into if you have an out of state tag. You are now warned. Good Luck.

This place rocks. Vast

Excellent

Wow! Real PGA Tour quality. To think that its a public course...
