Presidio Golf Course

The prestigious Presidio Golf Course, formerly a military-only course, opened for public play in 1995 and is generally regarded as one of California's top public courses. The tight, bunker-laden fairways wind through eucalyptus and Monterey pines. The course was originally a Robert Wood Johnstone design, expanded in 1910 by Johnstone and William McEwan. The first redesign occurred in 1921 (British firm of Fowler & Simpson), followed by the recent (1995-97) reconstruction.

Standard walking rates are $112 Mondays through Thursdays, $132 on Fridays, weekends, and holidays (carts are $13). Sliding twilight and senior discounts are available, as are special rates for residents of the greater bay area and for residents of the City of San Francisco.

Very scenic. Lot of elevation change with ball always below or above your feet, no matter where you are. 11 of 18 holes play uphill. All 4 of the par 3s were very different..enjoyed playing all of them. The ground crew could've stopped their mowers while we were playing. Fairways were being aerated. Greens were very quick. Its quite expensive but then again its in the city of SF. The weather was perfect for golf. If windy, this course will be very challenging.

It is a pretty course in terms of the old trees and mostly lush green grass, however, I wouldn't say there are any "views".

I think it's slowly (painfully) improving with the Arnold Palmer acquisition. However, the range is atrocious; mats are SO INCREDIBLY BEAT UP with physical rips in multiple places on any one mat – hard to believe it's an Arnold Palmer managed course. The weather is more often foggy, cold, windy and damp than it is sunny and warm, so bring layers. It's a very hilly course so you must think strategy off the tee for ball placement for your approach shot.

Now about the the price; they are waay too proud of this course for no valid reason! For the money they ask for greens fees, I'd recommend TPC Harding Park or anywhere else, honestly; nowhere near worth the fees. I'd only ever play it at City Resident rates, and even then, compared to TPC Harding Park, this course is substandard. I find it "just okay" for the occasional switching it up.

I really do want to like it more and hope that it continues to improve, but it needs to happen much, much faster with the fees they charge. Oh, plus you don't even get free warm up range balls (to hit off their crappy mats) like you do at all other Arnold Palmer courses! They really nickel & dime you.

This is a scenic course with many beautiful trees. It's moderately tight and pretty hilly. There are plenty of blind tee shots and blind approach shots, which I'm not a fan of. The greens are usually on the slow side, and the course doesn't drain that well. It a moderately difficult walking course.
