The San Francisco Bay Area is home to 86 golf courses spread across 9 distinct regions — from the fog-wrapped municipal tracks of San Francisco to the world-famous fairways of Pebble Beach. No other metro area in America packs this range of golf experiences into a two-hour drive.
Public and municipal courses dominate the SF and East Bay regions — TPC Harding Park, Presidio Golf Course and Corica Park South offer genuinely world-class golf without a membership. The Peninsula and South Bay mix affordable executive courses with resort-quality layouts like Half Moon Bay Golf Links and Cinnabar Hills. Head north into Marin or east to Napa and the courses become more intimate, set among redwoods, vineyards and rolling hills.
Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill and Pasatiempo anchor the region's bucket-list tier — courses that rank among the best in the world and happen to be within 90 minutes of San Francisco. BayAreaGolfCourses.com exists to help you find the right course for the right day, at the right price.
