What a shame. This is absolutely one of the most beautiful layouts in the Bay Area, heck California. A pure classic golf layout with beautiful cypress pine trees near the ocean. No blind tee shots or ridiculous elevation changes or houses at every fairway...just classic minimal undulation with cypress pines and other pines lining virtually every fairway. A natural lake lined with reeds and cattails, sounds of hawks and the ocean add to the beauty. I can only imagine what this course would be like if it got the Harding Park make over treatment. Alistar Mackenzie, designer of Augusta National, Cypress Point, and Pasatiempo originally designed this golf course. I enjoy every hole on this course, except it pains me to see the lack of maintenance. Somebody please rescue this gem of a course! Harding Park got rescued (and now it's world class)...this should be next.
