A good tome
It’s my 4th time playing this course they need to get rid of all the dandies and have only green for both the fairways and the greens . The staff r nice and friendly no carts white sucks the will them soon. And the views r nice si r peoplle playing there
Don't!
Staff was friendly. Some of the views were beautiful. That's where any compliments end.
Off the greens, there was a single cut of the grass at approximately 1.5 inches high, whether you're on a tee box or anywhere until the green. Tee boxes and greens were in rough shape, too.
The course was walking only, which doesn't sound daunting given the 5,000 yards or so, but I can assure you that it is horrendously daunting. 14 holes were uphill. There is a 600 yard walk from the 2nd green to the 3rd tee markers, and another 400+ yard walk from the 5th green to the 6th tee markers.
There are no practice areas, just a simulator to warm up.
I don't mean to sound so negative, but this was (probably) my least favorite course I have played. I wouldn't recommend playing here unless you are very comfortable walking a very uphill course.
An interesting muni with gorgeous views
First time playing Lincoln Park. It was a perfect weather day in SF. I played with my wife and son and we were paired with a friendly single. All of us walked. Lincoln Park is not an easy walk with lots of hills, but we enjoyed getting steps in and cart path only the day we played made it an easy decision not to take a cart. I was pleasantly surprised with course conditions except that greens were pretty rough - “furry” and with lots of bumps and ball marks that were not repaired. There is a lot of distance between some of the greens and next tee box.The craziest thing about this course is the amount of people just walking around. We had a family with 2 little kids walk across a fairway as we were teeing off. The pace of play for a Saturday was remarkably fast. We never waited and never had a group pushing us. I prefer Presidio for a similar style of course in a nearby location, but it’s more than double the price and doesn’t have the gorgeous views of Lincoln Park. I would play this course again, particularly with the Hot Deal price I was able to score.
Hills, History, and Stunning Scenery at Lincoln Park
Played Lincoln Park yesterday and had a great time! This course is a truly unique experience. The location is just amazing – right by the ocean with incredible views of the Golden Gate Bridge. It's hard to beat that kind of scenery! Being so close to the Legion of Honor and Lands End adds to the special feeling of the place. What really stood out about the course itself was the terrain. It's quite hilly, which made for a fun and interesting round. The slopes and contours on every hole made it play very differently from any other course I've tried. It kept things engaging and exciting. If you're looking for a course with stunning views and a memorable round, I'd definitely recommend checking out Lincoln Park.
Fairways are pretty lush right now. Greens are a bit thin in places. Really fun round.
Fun Course
Probably one v of the more interesting courses i have ever played. Rolling hills everywhere, so you'll stand up, down and sideways from the ball. The layout allows you to approach the tee box with various clubs. The greens have character and will test your metal.
Good course, subpar conditions
Course is very wet and lots of pedestrians walking on the cart path (and even across the holes!) slowing down the pace. Greens are a bit spotty with lot of divots. Interesting and fun to play hole layouts with great city and Golden Gate Bridge views. Still a must-play course in San Francisco.
No fairway, no tee box.
For $50 this is totally not worth it. Maybe for $20. There are no fairways. I’m used to that at a muni, but the grass wasn’t playable.
Cashed in some points to see an old friend
Normally when I come to SF I don't play this course. It's extremely steep to walk, and they were out of carts. I had found a hot deal there and cashed in on it. I used a pushcart for six holes, then went back to my car and scaled my bag way down and carried the rest. A bit mushy in the fairways after the rain, so lift clean and place. Drainage is always an issue on hills this steep. The greens were in good shape considering the recent weather. One thing that will never change is the view. Walking this course is just pure torture. Only for those in good shape. I wasn't ready for it, and it reflected on my score card. Still wanted to play this old classic anyway.
Great golf course
It was partly sunny day with a little breeze from the north. The proshop person was kind and had my round ready as expected. Very lucky with the random group. Nice people to play with. Good knowledge of playing real golf. The golf course was asexpected, very hard to walk for me a senior golfer trying to pretend still got golf game. The challenge was extreme but very inviting. Will play more this course.
Greens were rolling nicely
The course was in the best shape I’ve seen in many years. The greens were probably the best I’ve ever seen. Don’t know how long it’ll last. Lincoln is usually in questionably shape. Would be nice if the City would pump some money to it like they did Harding. $56 is kind of a lot for the course power carts way overpriced cart path only.
Beautiful views and bumpy greens
I played on a gorgeous clear day with temps in the low 70s, playing as a twosome in a little over three hours. The greens were very bumpy and the fairways were shaggy and muddy. It was possible to lose your ball after a good shot in the fairway. He said he plays with bright pink balls specifically because of that issue. I enjoyed the round but I won’t be back anytime soon.
Definitely challenging, great site, improvements needed
Really appreciated the variety of the course layout. Significant change in elevation compared to other courses made it much more challenging and interesting. We clocked an elevation change of about 600 feet. There is quite a distance between holes, we recorded about 8 miles, 1-2 more miles than other courses. The facility appeared to have about 10 golf carts (most facilities have 40-80). Carts were not available when we arrived in the early afternoon. Expect to walk and plan to be in good condition to walk his course. We appreciated the additional challenge which added to the experience. The site Is on one of the most beautiful wooded cliffside spots in the world. You get glimpses of the ocean, Golden Gate Park, Marin, the Golden Gate Bridge and the magnificent architecture of San Francisco. The par 4s are a little shorter than others but given the huge change in elevation, it made sense. We played from the blues and found a couple of the par threes were in the 210-235 range.
The greens were in fair, fairways good and sand traps better than average condition. I enjoyed this course even more than Harding Park (which is immaculate), mainly due to the challenge it presents. Not mention it’s half or third the cost. If you’re in good shape I recommend you try it out.
Dog on Course
Only in San Francisco!
Who would bring a dog out on the golf course? When has it become acceptable to be required to play a round of golf with a person walking their dog while playing the course? Absolute distraction the entire round in addition to having no golf etiquette whatsoever.
Could not even enjoy a day out on the course with my sons regardless of our lack of golf abilities.
However if you enjoy playing golf with your dog this is the course for you.
Good view, bad condition
Just like everything else in San Francisco, this course is poorly maintained. But, golfers still come, thank to its nice layout and beautiful backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Great course except no carts
Very fun course with a challenging lay out. Full 18 holes with somewhat shirt Par 4s, easily driveable. The green play fair but can break a good amount. Too bad no carts thought because the walk is quite long and lots of elevation changes. Make sure you wear comfortable golf shoes. I recommend to anyone looking for a inexpensive round of golf but amazing views of the Golden Gate Bridge on the 17th.
Great fun
A short old style parkland course with lots of elevation changes. Nice layout and a good walkers course. Course conditions were very mixed but this wasn’t a surprise. Last 3 holes are the standouts. 16 is a very long par three with some tough bunkering, trees close on the right and OB along left. 17 is more straight forward but also very long 230 yards approx. 18 is a solid par 4 to finish. Was put out in football at 8am and finished in well under 4 hours. Overall a fun and interesting public golf experience in SF.
