San Francisco Bay Area
Presidio Golf Course
Historic San Francisco public parkland
Presidio is not the flashiest course in the guide. That is part of why it works. It is historic, public, playable, and deeply San Francisco. Pair it with Harding Park for the city-golf version of the trip.

This beautiful golf course is opened to the public, some of the holes are just amazing with the open space, great vistas. The course is challenging but not impossible for a regular golfer. We enjoyed the clubhouse and relaxed atmosphere. We were here during the weekday, weekends

I love playing early as the rising sun is beautiful and the light coming through the trees is resplendent. The fog is mystical and the dew reflective and surreal.
