Just minutes from the San Francisco Zoo are Lake Merced and the
Harding Park Golf
Course
(99 Harding Rd., on Lake Merced Blvd. behind San Francisco State University;
&
415/664-4690;
http://harding-park.com). Opened in 1930, the course has a r egula-
tion 18-hole course of flat, tr ee-lined fairways, plus a 9-hole ex ecutive course, a driving
range, and a r estaurant. The course under went a $16-million r estoration in 2003 and
hosted the 2005 PGA World Golf Championships. Greens fees are $45 to $155 (less for
Bay Area residents and juniors 17 and under) and may be booked up to 7 days in adance
by calling
&
415/750-4653.
A limited number of reservations can be made 8 to 30 days
in advance, for an additional $10 per player, by calling the pro shop directly. You can also
walk on to the 9-hole
Fleming Course
next door, which charges $25 to $30 gr
eens
fees.
South of downtown is John McLaren Park, home of
Gleneagles Golf Course
(2100
Sunnydale A ve.;
&
415/587-2425;
www.gleneaglesgolfsf.com). The well-maintained,
challenging 9-hole course featur es hilly fair ways and has a r eputation for being windy .
Weekend tee times may be r eserved 7 days in adv ance. Greens fees are $15 to $19 for 9
holes and $23 to $31 for 18 holes. M cLaren Park is on the border of San Francisco and
San Mateo counties, in a less-than-stellar neighborhood.
