Tilden Park Golf Course

Tilden Park Golf Course is a beloved East Bay Regional Park gem, winding through the scenic hills above Berkeley with magnificent views of the San Francisco Bay on clear days. The course has been a cornerstone of East Bay golf since the 1930s and continues to attract a loyal following of golfers who appreciate its natural setting and challenging layout.

The 18-hole layout plays through mature eucalyptus and pine trees, with tight fairways that reward accurate ball-striking. The terrain features notable elevation changes that make the course both physically engaging and visually dramatic. Despite its modest yardage, the course plays more challenging than the numbers suggest.

Tilden Park Golf Course is one of the more affordable options in the East Bay, making it popular with students, families, and budget-conscious golfers. The surrounding Tilden Regional Park offers beautiful hiking trails, a botanical garden, and a steam train — making it a great destination for a full day out.
