Today I played Gleneagles Golf Course in McLaren Park San Francisco (map).
This course is a hidden gem. We played on a Friday morning at 7am and no tee time was required. Unbelievaable!
Jack Fleming was the architect. Founded in 1962.
9 holes (but 2 different sets of tees to make 18 distinct holes). All 18 holes plays to a par 71. 5860 yards. Rating 69.8. Slope 138.
As you can see from the slope this is a hard course. It feels short on many holes but several holes are very long. The course is very hilly and at times very narrow with small greens.
Tough topography, slick greens, tall large mature trees, and afternoon winds make this links-style layout not for the faint hearted.
The price is right... $15-$18.50 for 9 holes, $23-$30.50 for 18.
If there is a knock on this course it is the condition. In places it was rather poor, but given the price one wouldn't expect Pebble Beach. However, the greens in great shape -- they putted true and fast.
I was able to par the final 2 holes which saved what up to that point had been a pretty poor round. If you can't find the fairway from the tee this is golf course it nearly impossible. Of course, that can be said of many many courses.
