Golden Gate Park Golf Course has reopened as of February 16th, 2024.
The creator of this website was given a tour of the new design:
I’m really impressed with the renovation. Though I should reserve judgment until after a dozen or so play-throughs, after seeing the course, I’m honestly expecting to enjoy it even more than I did before. Jay Blasi obviously cares about the course’s best quality: its ability to serve both beginners and experienced players. The City of San Francisco and its Rec & Park department should both be extremely proud with the shaping and look-and-feel here, but it’s up to the city and operators to make sure the course is maintained at this level of quality. Fescue and bentgrass are the best grasses a golf nerd could hope for on a course in this linksy location, and the dunescapes are to be generally left alone with native flora. I certainly hope they continue to flourish in this environment.
