Gleneagles Golf Course at McLaren Park is San Francisco's hidden gem of public golf — a 9-hole course carved into the hills of McLaren Park in the Excelsior District, offering a genuine urban golf experience with surprising natural character. The course winds through one of San Francisco's largest but least-visited parks, with steep terrain, native plantings, and fog-draped views of the city and surrounding hills. The layout presents a genuine challenge in a compact format, using the dramatic hillside topography to create memorable holes that demand creativity and course management. As a City of San Francisco facility, Gleneagles is significantly more affordable than the city's more famous Lincoln Park or Harding Park courses. The Sunnydale Avenue location is served by Muni and is accessible to residents of the Excelsior, Visitacion Valley, and Bayview neighborhoods.
Gleneagles Golf Course has operated within McLaren Park since the mid-20th century, part of San Francisco's long tradition of public park golf. The park itself was established in the 1920s and named after John McLaren, the legendary superintendent of Golden Gate Park. The golf course remains one of the few recreational facilities that takes advantage of McLaren Park's rugged topography.
