Why it's a grail

Private club in Daly City, CA, just south of San Francisco, opened in 1923. A strong, well-regarded regional course with multi-era pedigree: Alister MacKenzie reworked bunkers and greens in 1929, and Gil Hanse completed a full restoration in 2022. It hosted LPGA tour events (Swinging Skirts Classic 2014-2016, Mediheal Championship).

About the course

Willie Lock; Alister MacKenzie (1929); later Robert Muir Graves, Rees Jones; Gil Hanse (2022 restoration)

This is very challenging course. Fareways are really up and down and the green slope is difficulttoo. The green size is small but very speedy. Had a hard time there, but trees between the holes make me walking in the forest.

What a great course! Fairways are like spongey carpet. Can’t wait to see it post reconstruction Nov. 2022

Played this classic private track for the first time via a NCGA event. Loved it. Challenging, lots of sand traps (I think I found all of them), but an open course that a Bad Golfer like myself can play without losing a golf ball.
