My home course. completely renovated four years ago. Great layout, weather. A great muni course, but management treats it like a country club. They raised prices so much it is no longer affordable for many. They botched the drainage and grass on fairways. They keep the rough almost at competition levels . Too few benches for walkers, mororized carts are restricted to cart path only, no bathroom facilities or drinking water on course. But all things considered, it's a great course. You'd really have to see it in person.

Would travel: 30 -60 miles

The City recently rebuilt the entire course. Some things were a fantastic improvement, some others turned into a disaster. For instance, there is no plumbing throughout the entire course. Toilets are Port-a-pottys. There is no drinking water on the course. Benches, spike cleaners, and some ball washers are few and far between. The course can be beautiful. And challanging. They held the 2005 American Express tournament there and the low score was 5 or 6 under par. (Woods d.Daly playoff) The green fees are expensive because the city of San Francisco has no idea on how to run a golf course, and only considers the bottom line. Harding is a cart path only course, and it doesn't need to be. It is, after all, a muni. But they treat it like a resort. A resort with no on course toilets. Fees for non- residents are around $85 -$110 to walk. Residents pay $45, and resident seniors over 65 pay $31

Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
