Harding Park Golf Course. Highly regarded by San Francisco residents and a must-play for visiting golfers, the historic 18-hole Harding Park Golf Course opened in 1925 as one of the nation's premier public layouts. William Watson's original design took maximum advantage of the course's location along the shores of Lake Merced , emphasizing parkland features while capturing the presence of the Pacific Ocean . A renovation in 2002-2003 under the direction of PGA Tour Design Services enhanced the character and playing experience of this notable venue. The Harding Park complex includes the 9-hole Fleming Course, which has been upgraded to the same distinguishing specifications. Both courses feature Monterey Cypress trees lining the fairways and artfully placed bunkers. Harding is available for daily play, tournaments and group outings. For information and tee times, call (415) 661-1865 or visit www.harding-park.com [Top] Olympic Club. The Olympic Club is a private golf and athletics club in San Francisco that features three challenging 18-hole PGA courses - the Cliffs Course, Lakes Course and the Ocean Course. The Olympic Club has been the site of some of the most dramatic final-round comebacks in U.S. Open history. In 1955, unheralded Jack Fleck rallied to beat Ben Hogan in a playoff, thus denying him a record fifth Open title. Eleven years later, Arnold Palmer blew a seven-stroke lead over the last nine holes to Billy Casper, and lost in an 18-hole playoff. For information and reservations, call (415) 775-4400.
