Golden Gate Park

Great course! Very technical and plays further than it is. Let no hole go without some sort of elevation change!!! Not windy at all, surprisingly for being in SF,and so close to the ocean. Mando's and OB's keep some of the holes tight, and only one basket is unimpeded from the tee, and a pretty good ace run hole to boot! Locals are AWESOME, friendly and helpful! Park was very crowded when Stylez and I were there, the most perfect, no fog and 73 degrees weather, some of the locals were even co ...

Great course! Very technical and plays further than it is. Let no hole go without some sort of elevation change!!! Not windy at all, surprisingly for being in SF,and so close to the ocean.

Park was very crowded when Stylez and I were there, the most perfect, no fog and 73 degrees weather, some of the locals were even commenting on how nice it was. The park itself is loaded with a ton of other activities as well, so that added to the congestion. That's probably the ONLY reason I can't give it an A+...cuz it's not my own private jewel..! VERY WELL DONE to all those involved with the creation and maintainence of this course!

Beautiful, and surrounded with friendly people. Long technical shots, with also a few ace runs, it will bring out every shot in your bag. They rotate pin placements (not sure how often) from 3 (4 spots on hole 6, which had the one of the coolest basket placements I've ever seen) spots. The tee signs tell you which pin your shooting at, very helpful. Only negative was trying to find hole 17. You gotta walk across some holes way uphill to find it. If your looking for somewhere to BUY DISCS ...

Only negative was trying to find hole 17. You gotta walk across some holes way uphill to find it.

If your looking for somewhere to BUY DISCS in the area like I was (I'm from Michigan), theres a skate shop on 6th ave and fulton that has a small, but nice innova selection. There is Purple Skunk Skate shop that will have stamped Cali discs, but they are CLOSED on Mondays, and they open at noon and close at 5-6, so you gotta plan around them. The hidden disc shop in San Francisco, and the one that saved my life, was Sports Basement. They don't have stamped Cali plastic, but they had a great selection of innova and discraft (no prodigy or anything though), I couldnt find a disc over 16$. This is the place to go unless you want a unique stamp.

The course is great, though it was better years ago when it was first built. Not as many people knew about it and it was still full of long grass, and smaller branches and trees. These have since been trampled and broken down or removed. Now green grass covers the fairways, which is nice, but not the same Safari feel it had before being rebuilt and improved upon. Anyone that played here in its early years will know what I mean. As for the course. Signage is great. Pin locations are great, an ...

The course is great, though it was better years ago when it was first built. Not as many people knew about it and it was still full of long grass, and smaller branches and trees. These have since been trampled and broken down or removed. Now green grass covers the fairways, which is nice, but not the same Safari feel it had before being rebuilt and improved upon. Anyone that played here in its early years will know what I mean.

As for the course. Signage is great. Pin locations are great, and easy to find. Pins rotate often between A,B,C locations. Really nice. There are some really technical shots through trees. Some long shots requiring strength and precision (again through trees), and there are shots with elevation changes. Really fun course.

Bummer is the amount of people that play here. It can get really crowded. I like to get here really early, and when living nearby, was often the first person on the course. More peaceful and waits are less. But, expect waits of 2,3,4 groups if really busy. For this I would almost deduct from the score, but the course itself, the signage, improvements made to it, and locals make it a great course to play. Highly recommend. Stafford Lake (Novato) and this course, followed by De La Veaga (Santa Cruz) were my favorite while living in the area.

I've wanted to play this course for about a year and finally got to it on 1/14/2015. It was good, but not as good as I was expecting. It is a very pretty course, but it is not an "A" in my opinion. Hole 6 was set for the "D" position, but there was no info for a "D" position. Weird hole positioning for Hole 17, where you have to walk back almost to the 16 tee pad. Also, we played from 11 am to 1 PM and it was very hard to see the baskets, (and it was a sunny day). The baskets kind of blend ...

I've wanted to play this course for about a year and finally got to it on 1/14/2015. It was good, but not as good as I was expecting. It is a very pretty course, but it is not an "A" in my opinion. Hole 6 was set for the "D" position, but there was no info for a "D" position. Weird hole positioning for Hole 17, where you have to walk back almost to the 16 tee pad. Also, we played from 11 am to 1 PM and it was very hard to see the baskets, (and it was a sunny day). The baskets kind of blend into the trees and the dirt. I recommend that more color be put on the baskets so that they show up better. I didn't see any poison oak, which was good, but there are a lot of bushes and ground cover and, because of it, my brother lost his driver around Hole 4 or 5. Also, there had not been any rain for over 2 weeks, but the course was pretty wet in some areas. Heavy dew, I guess. I recommend that players bring a towel to wipe down their disks when they play this course. I will play this course again someday ...
