About Lincoln Park Golf Course

Lincoln Park Golf Course is San Francisco's oldest and most historically significant public golf course, perched on the rocky headlands of the Richmond District with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Marin Headlands, and San Francisco Bay. Laid out in 1902 on land that once served as a cemetery, the course occupies some of the most valuable and visually spectacular urban golf real estate in the United States. The layout winds through Monterey cypress groves and coastal scrub, with holes running right along the cliffs above the Pacific. Wind is a constant and powerful factor, making club selection and shot shaping essential at any skill level. The views from the 17th tee looking back toward the Golden Gate are among the most photographed in all of Bay Area golf. Despite being a city muni, Lincoln Park delivers a world-class visual experience.

History

Lincoln Park Golf Course was established in 1902 on land that had previously served as the San Francisco City Cemetery, where thousands were buried in the 19th century. The course was designed to take advantage of the dramatic headlands terrain and has been continuously operated as a public facility for over 120 years, making it one of the oldest public courses in California. The City of San Francisco took over management, and the course has been the subject of periodic renovation discussions given its historic significance.

Golfers seeking a bucket-list urban round with world-class views who are comfortable playing in persistent coastal winds on a short but historically significant layout.
