About Tilden Park Golf Course

Tilden Park Golf Course in Berkeley is one of the Bay Area's most beloved public golf experiences, carved into the forested hills of Tilden Regional Park in the East Bay. The course winds through second-growth redwoods, bay laurel, and eucalyptus groves with dramatic elevation changes that make every hole feel unique. Fog regularly rolls in from San Francisco Bay, creating atmospheric morning rounds that feel far removed from urban life despite being minutes from UC Berkeley's campus. The layout is relatively short but deceptive — narrow tree-lined fairways, sloped greens, and uneven lies demand shotmaking rather than power. The naturalistic setting, with deer, wild turkey, and native birds as regular companions, has made Tilden Park a cherished institution for East Bay golfers for generations. Afternoon tee times often arrive as fog burns off, revealing stunning views across the Bay.

History

Tilden Park Golf Course opened in 1937 as part of the East Bay Regional Park District's vision for accessible public recreation in the Berkeley Hills. Designed to complement the natural landscape of Tilden Regional Park, the course has changed little in character over its nearly nine decades, preserving a classic parkland feel that modern courses rarely replicate. It remains one of the most historically authentic public golf experiences in the Bay Area.

East Bay golfers and visitors who treasure historic, forested public golf with natural beauty and shotmaking challenges over pure distance.
