Lincoln Park is a shame. It's an historic golf course designed by Tom Bendelow in the 1920's on a cramped piece of land high on a headland above the Golden Gate Bridge where the Pacific Ocean flows into San Francisco Bay. It's a par 68 course, 5,149 yards long, 66 course rating, and 109 slope. It has great views of San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge if it's not in the fog, which would be unusual. I say it's a shame because when I went to the course for the first time in town, driving to the location up on the point and arriving at the layout with huge cypress and pine tree lined hilly fairways overlooking the Bridge, I thought it would be a real treat. The clubhouse is like something out of the 1940's, and the service more or less the same. You can't possibly think this course is run by anyone other than the government. Out on the course, it's definitely quirky, tight tree lined fairways, odd holes, small and crowned greens, iffy conditions, but despite all of that, it's a real treat to play here, with glimpses of the Bay, the Pacific, and the Golden Gate throughout. Just don't get your hopes up, and you're really enjoy the experience. By the way, the weather in downtown San Francisco or any of the surrounding areas, in no way resembles the weather here, it can be 20 degrees cooler, windy, and misty with the fog.

Lincoln Park Golf Course is one of the most uneven golf courses I've ever seen. The greens are generally in terrible shape, and the holes range from super-easy to retarded-difficult. This is the only course where I've driven the green on a par four, and come up short on a par three (with a good shot that just died in the head wind) on the same day. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly: Good: Spectacular views on the back nine, especially 17. For the $$$, it's beyond reasonable. It's in the city, so no schlepping required to the east bay or peninsula. Bad: Course is not maintained well. Poor clubhouse. Sometimes the tee times are not staggered enough, resulting in maddening waits. The Ugly: This golf course can be dangerous with all of the MacDuffs out there. I've almost been brained twice from errant shots where nobody said "FORE!"

Lincoln Park's a trip to play.I have played there with a friend a while back (although it's been a while now), and it's a great value for a course in the city. It's a gorgeous location, especially if you can avoid the fog! The course itself is nothing to write home about... just a nice, short, course. I think it's a par 68 or something like that. But it is gorgeous... plenty of views on multiple holes, lots of trees, and they maintain it in decent shape, too. Make sure to bring your camera, because you won't beat the views!
