The setting - Fabulous! Views (between the fog drifts) of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands, and The Pacific Ocean. Built around the Palace of the Legion of Honor.
But the course conditions!! Deplorable!! The City of San Francisco should be ashamed! The greens were bumpy, and were composed of various kinds of grasses and weeds. The fairways were brown in areas, and this on a course normally covered in fog. I realize the City, as with most other cities and counties, is financially hurting, but to not have a course superintendant or head gardner (both not replaced after they retired) is inexcusable. This magnificant setting begs for a course in quality condition, that will bring in visiting golfers just for the views.
Wake up, San Francisco!!
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Worse than average course for the area
