Course History:

The legendary golfing great Arnold Palmer designed this course and it offers a wonderful challenge for all players. From the dramatic changes in elevation to the tricky greens, you’ll have loads of fun at this course. All levels of players are welcome and most find that it is not too difficult to complete the course. Numerous events are held every year and the course restaurant is available for catering events.

Check their website often for web specials to save even more money on their already reasonable green fees. Their special packages make it easy for everyone to afford playing here. The course is open to the public seven days a week and features terrific course conditions. A scorecard is available online or at the pro shop to keep track of your progress.

What You Need to Know:

There is a dress code at this course. Collared shirts are required and no denim is allowed. Shorts are allowed but must be knee length. Lessons are available to all players from the pro staff. Please keep in mind that this is a no-metal spike course. The staff asks that you switch out your spikes before arriving.

You can reserve a tee time online or by calling the clubhouse. They offer several different packages for playing that we’ll list below. The golf shop stocks all the latest gear and apparel and The Grille offers lunch and breakfast everyday. You can visit their website to download the menus.

Playing Hints:

If you’re using the Palmer tees, prepare for a challenge on any hole on this course. If you’re new here, it’s best to start on the blue tees and work your way up to using the Palmer tees.

The first hole isn’t too intimidating, but watch out for hole two. It’s a long par five, but with the right approach, you can birdie or even eagle. Pros will find this hole relatively simple, but more challenging ones are to come.

The fifth hole is another killer that will require the right combination of woods and irons if you want to birdie. It’s not impossible to do well on this one but you will need a fair bit of practice to master it.

The sixteenth and eighteenth holes are nearly 600 yards if you are playing the Palmer tees and both offer quite a bit of a challenge. By this point, you may be pretty tired, so the best advice is to give it all you have to get a good first shot and then use your woods one more time to get a better layup to the green.

The Presidio is one of the oldest and most celebrated courses in California. It survived the great quake of 1906 and was recently renovated. The illustrious Arnold Palmer manages this course and it’s located just ten minutes from downtown San Francisco.

There is a non-refundable fee if you register online, per golfer. The rate varies as to the day of the week that you wish your tee-time to be on.

The club house was just finished a few years ago and features some of the most elegant accoutrements you would expect to find in a club house. It is open for lunch, brunch, private celebrations and receptions. Cocktails are served along with a limited menu until dusk. The food has been dubbed “American comfort with a California flair,” and is incredibly delicious. The full bar offers more than 36 types of whiskey, thirteen different kinds of beer and a wine list from around the world.

The pro shop features all the best golf brands and merchandise for every type of golfer. Rental clubs are available for $45 for an 18 hole round or $25 for nine holes. If you join their special e-club, you can get additional savings on merchandise as well as advance notice on upcoming events.

The practice center is truly remarkable with a very large driving range and a special six hole practice putting green. A chipping green is also available. The practice center is open 7 days a week and is staffed with PGA instructors and professionals if you need a little assistance on your swing. They do recommend bringing a light jacket if the day is a little chilly or if you will be practicing in the evening.

Prepaid range cards are available and make it easy to get practice in whenever you can. However, regular rates are as follows: $7 for 35 balls, $10 for 70 balls and $12 for 100 balls. Check out their special “Demo Days” to try all of the latest new equipment from the best manufacturers.

Several professional teachers are on staff at the Presidio and you can schedule lessons no matter what your skill level may be. Clinics are available for all ages, and corporate clinics are also offered.
