41 reviews for Gleneagles Golf Course
Excellent course. A Fleming Design from what I hear.
With the exception of a 600 yard monster it is not particularly long, and thus scoring potentials all over, IF you can hit narrow, tree guarded fairways and elevated greens from side-hill lies. It does play up hill and into the wind.
Fairways are in "good" shape, greens are fast and hard with severe breaks and a few double tiers. Never furry.
This is as true and challenging of a "shabby" course as I have ever played. Bring your accurate set of clubs.
It's a good golf course that is reasonable priced - under $30 during the weekdays and $31 during weekends, for 18 holes.
The holes themselves are varied - two long par 5s and a handful of par 3s. There are slopes, ridges and a lot of trees to keep things interesting. The greens are kept-well and the fairways are mostly clean.
Only downsides:
- there are nine holes, that they double up to make 18 with two distinct tee boxes. It works, but definitely ask about it if its your first time.
- that said, this isn't a course for beginners at all - there's no shorter tees for women or higher handicaps.
- place is a lot faster on the weekends, especially when you come around for your back nine to the same hole others are starting on their first.

Pretty tough and definitely a favorite with the locals. For 18 holes of golf a sandwich and a Anchor Steam it was $33, can't beat that! Funny that the golf shop also doubles as the bar, talk about one stop shopping. Paying for 9 holes is probably a better idea since it is basically the same holes for 18 just from different teeing grounds. Almost didn't go around again for the 2nd nine, but glad I did. Played with some very cool people and ended up having a few post round drinks.

This place is tha bomb! Seriously! Great deal! 14$ for 9 holes with a resident card...well the back 9 is a change in tee box but you can't beat the deal! There are 2-3 holes that are 450+ yards, so you get to use your driver a ton. Not bad for less than a price of Executive Course. I have never been there and had to wait long...9 holes done in less than 2 hours and I have never made a tee time. The only downside to the place is that you are at risk for getting mugged. Notice how I still give it 5 stars though. It kinda adds excitement to the game of golf! It has all the components I look for: cheap, challenging, quick and exciting.
Try to drive in/out from the 280 side. Coming in from 101 will make you lock the car doors and hunker down in your seat in an attempt to avoid random gunfire. All this for a round of golf....
So, why 4 stars? This is a really neat little course. I'm puzzled by the comments as to how difficult the course is. There are definitely a lot of sloping fairways, but if you use your head and always aim your tee shot for the high side, you will end up in good shape. I think the other problem is that there is only one set of tees for the Front/Back 9. There is no "white" or Men's forward tee. Those not used to playing "blue" tees or from the tips will definitely struggle out here.
One neat thing is the similarity/difference to the Golden Gate Park course. There, the bartender is the course manager. At Gleneagles, the course manager is the bartender. VERY important difference for those of us who enjoy a drink or two and chatting about golf.
Did I mention the insanely cheap rates?

If you can find the place, play it. I had my reservations about playing a nine-hole track twice around, but this joint will eat your lunch!
The greens can be hit and miss, but for the price Gleneagles is a steal even if you make up what you are saving in green fees in the 19th hole!
In all seriousness, this course is great even in the gale-force winds that you face late in the day and the starter/bartender has a heavy pour.

Overall: One of the most casual, laid back, but still challenging courses I've played. A good value and a challenging course.
Pros:
- always can get a tee time, even on the nicest day of the year I only waited 30 minutes with a threesome
- good price
- difficult layout, usually nine hole courses are terrible boring 350 yard par fours with no challenge, Gleneagles has a large variety of holes - changing elevations, difficult approach shots and guarded greens (not too many bunkers though)
- close to the city
Cons:
- sometimes too casual, limited amenities
- not that well kept (changes day to day)
If I'm looking for a quick nine, or playing with someone who's not that serious about golfing this is my first choice - much better than Lincoln Park or Sharp Park. If I'm looking for a nicer round though, you still can't beat Harding.
Heard a story recently about a guy who came to the Eagle and walked off the course after a few holes complaining that it was too windy. Angry that he wasn't given a "wind check" or refund, he proceeded to trash the course in a review. Following that logic, I guess the entire field at last weekend's British Open should have simply refused to play in the ever-shifting, windy conditions at Turnberry. Geeeeze...both Old and Young Tom Morris must have just turned over in their graves.

2009 - Gleneagles is in its best shape in more than a decade!!!
My previous rants about fairway conditions and garbage seemed to have been heard. The fairways still have a few marginal areas but the garbage is mostly gone and increased police patrols seems to have quited down the ghetto a tad.
John Fleming would be proud.
I think the course superintendent knows the President's Cup is coming to SF in OCT 2009.
Fairway distance markers are still sparse, with usually the lone center fairway "sprinkler cover marker" present, if you can locate it. Red (100yds) and white (150yds) posts on the center/edge of the fairways would seem to be an easy fix.
If its not a drought year and the course conditions continue to be this good until the President's Cup, only golfers who want to a real challenge at a reasonable price (now $17 for 9 on a weekday) will miss out if they don't make it here by this fall.

Just come here, relax, and enjoy the ride. If you have game, bring it, you are going to need it all. The course is growing grass, and tending to the things that make it a better place then most.
Bartenders/starters are the best around. Best throw a few bucks into the wooden barrel, or you might get stuck playing with Jack or a few folks here who will RIDE your ass until you either play faster or just never come back. (which we all secretly like). I love you G.E., just please keep it local and bio-friendly. PLEASE
Just there on the 28th and the course was spectacular!But not as spectacular as the chesseburger!I suggesst you stop in for a burger and a beer on the weekend.Two couples were making out!That is probably a first and a last at the Eagles.

This course used to be feared by many. We used to have a couple of groups teeing up here every Friday morning. There's no such thing as risk reward here its all about how much risk you wanna take on any given hole. The first hole is a good example. After you tee ball settles into a sidehill/uphill lie, your brain just cant comprehend the fact that you need to hit it into the hill next to the green and let it trickle down for the ball to stay on.
I have not played here in the last few years. i stayed away coz I dont need anymore reminder that my game is not good enough for this course. However, on the 28th of April a cool breezy day in SF. I braved the course and told my self. "Your good enough, your smart enough and gosh darn it you can take this course" So off i went to get abused by this course and pay $16 bucks for it.
I was surprised to see the fairways somewhat decent shape, its has grass at least. The greens are looks like it was playable and able to hold approach shots. So off i went on my 9 hole adventure. The course is every bit as difficult with the awkward lies. I was looking forward to the legendary fast greens but it was not there anymore. It was slow and bumpy.
Overall, I played pretty decent got my birdie and pared the monster par 5. Everything else is a blur. I went home a little disappointed that the once mighty Gleneagles once feared by many is now just another 9 hole track.
CLASSIC is the word to describe Gleneagles. No better word.
The pro shop doubles as a bar. Yes, you essentially pay your green fees to the bartender, so why not have an Irish coffee while you're at it.
The course is extreme. You have to have the right attitude about your golf there. It's really about survival, as opposed to making a good score. The course is sort of tricked up with some extreme slopes on the greens, and depending on how the greens-keeper's meds were going that week, there can be some truly evil hole locations which make for 4 putting.
Rumor has it that a famous PGA player once stormed off this course saying it was set up unfairly. Duh.
Local tip (this is serious). Everything breaks toward the Cow Palace. And, don't bet against the locals.
It's a hard place to find, if you don't know where you're going. It's hard to find even when you do know where you're going. Love Gleneagles.
Post Script: My favored Gleneagles wingman (glenfecals is his name for it) reminds me to tell you to look into the mayo-slathered ham and american cheese wonder-bread scoobie snack before you make "the turn." [The turn to play the same god-forsaken 9 holes again (albeit from a second set of tees).]

Played here a few years ago and came back recently. I didn't realize how bad shape the course is. I guess the first time I came I was just beginning so I didn't know any better. This is an extremely difficult course and just not fun to play. The greens are crummy and the fairways aren't in any better shape. The fog was starting to roll through just after I teed off and the wind was kicking like crazy. I played two holes and decided to call it quits. Do yourself a favor, play a course like poplar creek 15 minutes south and enjoy playing golf rather than just being frustrated at this god forsaken course. The staff was always pretty dumbfounded and just plain depressing, its like stepping in the twilight zone. One last note.............. If it is in the ghetto then you can be sure that this course represents the section 8 neighborhood around it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright... where do we start with Gleneagles?
First off... it is an absolutely excellent course. It's in great shape... waaaayyyyyy better than Lincoln. Probably better than Presidio's clay-ish fairways as well. And... it's hard. Plan on testing your length through shoots of trees.
Second... the bar is hilarious. OLD SCHOOL. And the $2.50 croissant sandwich is probably the best value for your money of any course in NorCal ($2-3 beers too).
Of course, the bar doubles as the pro shop. And the bartender doubles as the starter... if this is sounding ghetto, than that leads us to the other side of the Gleneagles story. The truth is... if you drive up Sunnydale to get there, you're gonna be freaked out. It's a gauntlet, no doubt.
Also... not to alarm anyone. But I was here a few weeks ago on the 5th hole (borders the projects), and significant gun-fire broke out about 200 feet from us (we could hear the dudes yelling at each other). At least 20-30 gunshots. At least 20 cop cars there within 5 minutes. Cops were all over the course and everywhere around it (apparently one guy got away). Golfers were jumping behind trees and hitting the deck.
...We finished the hole and round btw...

A fun little course that is easy and quick to reach from all over the city.
The course is never in great shape, but half-decent throughout the year. Tee-boxes and fairways are kinda shabby, but the greens can be lightning quick and very tricky.
Gleneagles is not long, but surprisingly difficult. The greens are small, fairways are tight, and undulation and winds always come into play.
Training facilities: a small putting green, but no range.
Price: $13 for 9 holes and $20 for 18 last time I was there. That's cool for a decent course so close to downtown.
Recommended for a 9 hole round with beers after work, but if you wanna play 18 good holes on your week-end, go somewhere else.

The Toughest 9 in the World
I am a hacker and a half and shoot 50-55 for 9, yeah thats right and I feel good about it because sometimes ill shoot 60+ here
Whenever I think I'm hittin en good i come here for a little humbling. I shot a 45 a couple of year ago and still talk about it
people bitch about the condition, the projects, the slope, but what they really mean is "THAT COURSE SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME"
the condition is like any links style course, the greens are almost always in good shape, $15/$18 for nine, hardly ever a wait, yeah sometime the Dboys in da PJs are loud but they wont bother you.
I bring all out of town golfers here and they love it (or hate it...but not really).
A SF MUST DO if you golf
Just hit it straight and long, place your approach shots right and dont three putt and you'll do just fine and remember EVERYTHING rolls toward the Cow Palace

Inexpensive golf in the city, almost never a wait, and playing with the old timers who love to take my money. It is classic, I hope the kids in the ajacent apartment building are lighting off fire works and those are not gunshots. I wish they would dump a little more money into to try to keep it in better condition, the layout is great, very challegeing, never a flat lie. It is one of the best places to introduce a person to the game, there is no pretense when playing Gleneagles, you play for the joy of the game!
Oh and cheap drinks at the bar.

This is a golf course that presents the most difficult of challenges as well as the most impressive of dynamics with a great clubhouse and bar, great management, great conditions and the coolest regulars.
I recommend it highly to beginners(NO SLOW PLAY ALLOWED) and scratch golfers alike.
I would also like to add that IZZY Taguchi, the GM, is one of the best and he intends to bring us the best golf experience in San Francisco.

Everybody knows about San Francisco's Harding Park Golf Course, but SF's hidden jewel is Gleneagles. 18 holes, $31. No water hazard, but plenty of bunkers to keep you busy. Don't mind the projects you'll have to go through to get there, it's not that dangerous. Sure, on the way home I saw a girl gang fight and the police came, but that just adds to the character of the golf course. If I had known about Gleneagles during summer I would have stopped by on the way home for a quick 9 holes ($16).

Bring your "A" game if you intend on playing this course. I actually lost a lot of golf balls in the trees when I played a recent round there.
This course is a challenge for a high handicapper like myself. Reading the greens is a challenge. Keeping your tee shots on the fairway pays off handsomely here as going into the rough will cost you serious strokes to your score.
Bring extra golf balls, because if you have a high trajectory like I do they tend to get caught up in the trees. It is a well maintained course and tee times are readily available. I don't think it's the best place for the beginner rather come back after you've mastered or at least have the ability to do some good course management.

Not four stars for the condition of the course; four stars for the experience of completely unstuffy golf. I would not recommend approaching this course through the middle of the Sunnydale projects---this way, trouble lies----rather, come at the course from the other side, up on the hill through John McClaren Park--that would be a lot safer.
Buy a pre-made, plastic wrapped sandwich at the bar ($3.50), add a soda ($1.50), pay lunch time greens fees ($15 a piece if you're walking---and you should walk) and enjoy the randomness of it all.
The first hole has a ridiculously well defended green that punishes any approach shot that is even a little off. The second slopes off to the right (so does the first, actually). The third gives you a great roll if you can keep it in the fairway, but the backside of the green is treacherously contoured; the fourth is straightforward.
Hey, this is golf at its most elemental in the Bay Area. Play this course and think to yourself not that you are playing on a poorly kept, severely sloped course but rather, you now know the challenge of playing a true links course.
Gotta love it.

Great tough course in a pretty tough area, but it's easier to find now that the sign has returned!
Old school bar & attitude...No driving range and usually no waiting around. You need a positive can-do mind-frame to survive here since it's a very tricky course. Plenty of chances to use all your clubs and interesting shots from either set of tees.
My advice, just bring extra golf balls and keep things moving along, people who play here like it that way, so please don't spoil a good thing. The course can either be in great shape or dusty and windy...but just take it as you find it since it's a real bargain.
Hope you enjoy the experience..

Been coming here for a while. Love this place. Tough course. If you can't hit it straight its going to be a looonngggggg day. If the afternoon wind (summer) kicks up you'll hate yourself even more. One of the best bars to have a few after the round and try to win back all the money you lost playing 1-4-24
*******Gleneagles=Man Course
First things first, 9 holes took almost 3 hours. A ridiculously hard course this one is. Lots of rough patches, downhill slopes, quick and bumpy greens.
Second of all, this place is in the ghetto. Golf and ghetto are usually two things I do not equate. On the fourth hole, you get a nice view of the housing projects. I think the project folk, where also having a minibike race the entire duration of our round.
So back to the course. The course itself wasn't in particular good or bad shape. I liked the fact that there was no pretentiousness while playing. The clubhouse was super old school, with the only exception of a hd tv, this place was out of the 50's. The course was also fairly priced and there wasn't a whole of waiting.
This course a lot of "mansize holes". A few of them were over 500 yards and one was over 600 yards. This was a great place to try out a fairway driver/hybrid club.
All in all, this course was very challenging for a beginner and veteran alike.

No frills course that is challenging and for the beginning, you run the gamut of clubs here (vs. GG Park which is all irons). I have no business reviewing golf courses, but like the vibe, the bar and the numerous cups lined up against the back wall for Liar's Dice. For a southsider (Noe), this is a hop, skip and a jump away. Plus you can stop by Joe's Cable Car Burger joint.
This is more of a fun challenge...and NINE holes...I'm in...yippeee.
Just wish I had a more powerful hit for the range. I don't like the idea of being by Brookdale and there isn't even a BROOK, as far as I can tell.
Gleneagles Golf Course (9 hole) is located in McLaren Park at 2100 Sunnydale Avenue, between Brookdale and Persia Street in San Francisco (415-587-2425). This challenging par 36 course designed by John Fleming and opened in 1962 is 3,195 yards long and is a hidden jewel with beautiful vistas located in the far southern part of the City. This nine hole course can be played as 18 holes from different tee and pin locations that challenges even the most astute golfer. The course is moderate to heavily forested and located on rolling and sometimes steep hills. Tee time reservations can be made by calling the golf shop.
Gleneagles gets a four! Why, you ask? Well, Drew S. would tell you that it is because I give everything a 4. He might be right...
However, there is more to the story. Gleneagles is just funky--mostly good funky too. I dare say I have never played a course quite like Gleneagles. As others have noted, the bar doubles as the clubhouse. I have no problem with this. It is between 15-18 dollars for 9 holes. Again, no problem with this.
The funkiness continues with the incredibly strange and challenging layout of the course--on several occassions I nailed a drive down the middle of the fairway, only to see my ball land and roll helplessly into the rough, scores of yards from where it landed.
The course is not perfectly kept--by a longshot. But it isn't too shabby either, being what it is. And yes the projects are there, but what can you do? It's the City.
Hit this place up for a unique round of golf anytime. I was there this morning and there was no wait. Sure...maybe the first 3 holes were played in a fog so thick I couldn't see my ball once it traveled 20 yards away...but that's part of the funky goodness of this place.
I will be back for sure--hopefully often.
UPDATE---UPDATE
Now having played Gleneagles many a time, I have to change my review. While I still appreciate that quirkiness of this course, and while I still love that it is a challenging layout and all that, I have to knock the place one star. Cause it just isn't a fair course. It isn't that it is hard and that I am a bad golfer--mean, both of those things are true. It is just that the course is just poorly kept up enough, and just a bit of enough of a mess that it seems to triple the difficulty of the place to a point where I'm not even sure it is fun at times. So call me a pussy, go for it. I just can't give Gleneagles 4 stars. I REALLY want to, but I can't.
Played here May 9, 2009 for the first time in 12-15 years. Wow has this place changed!! Obviously joking, nothing has changed much here since maybe the 80's. Although the greens seemed slower than I remember. Faced with howlin' wind, uneven lies, slow greens, & pretty brutal 18 hole walk (where all the uphill holes are also into the prevailing wind) the course kicked my ass. But I also had 3 anchor steams & a shot of bourbon (for like $16, a bonus) to take the sting out. The only down side was no food. No burgers, no dogs, no sandwiches, nothing but chips and peanuts. Not a bonus. On the upside they were cutting down a bunch of big eucalyptus trees in the middle of the course, and it looks like they are maintaining the course better than all other SF muni's not named harding park. Best bar/startershack west of the Mississippi! Give it try for $19.50 for 9 holes on the weekend, everyone should try it at least once every dozen years.
This is a 9 hole golf course that you can go around twice and make into a full 18. It's actually a decent course despite having to drive through the Sunnydale projects to get there. I think it's because of the sketchy location that it so easy to play. I've never had to wait. The course literally borders the projects and I've heard that some people have been jacked while playing. So break yo self fool and play some MUTHAFUCKIN' GIZNOLF! Don't play here if you don't have street cred.

I shan't play here again. So the pro shop = bar... I guess that's kind of charming... but not really. Just get me a tee time and a sleeve, thanks. The cheapo rates and the fact its within the city limits are really the only good things I have to say about this place.
The conditions are pretty much 50/50.... greens are well-kempt, but the fairways are shady. Rough and fairway are pretty much the same length here, so enjoy that whole song and dance. The fact that the entire course seems to be built on the side of a hill is irritating also. Always feel like you're walking on the sides of your feet. The golfer demographic is probably the strangest I've seen.... talk about a REAL public track... my buddy and I were playing with "jones" and "miliano".... two very classy characters. Jones pissed off of four separate teeboxes (must be a record) and Miliano smoked 3 joints during our fantastic 18 hole outing, all of which he proceeded to toss into the surrounding brush. That was nice. These are the kind of golfers whose company I enjoy. Non. And apparently they are regulars.... so keep your eye out. It's probably less shady in the projects next door than it is playing with these guys.
I really wanted to like Gleneagles, since apparently everyone gets a massive hard-on from it. I just didn't have a very good experience, nor was there anything about the course that piqued my interest, especially since it is only 9 holes. Repeating them for a back 9 from slightly different tees didn't make it any better. Sure some greens were in difficult locations, but there comes a point when "difficult" gets lost in being gimmicky.

ehhh. this place has a nice layout and the greens are amazing.
everything else here pretty much sucks.
the fairways are like half fairways since the majority of it is dirt and hard dirt at that.
that cart path is sandy so get ready to slip and slide while having dust in your face.
Prepare to be humbled. By the selection of Single Malts, that is. Play here whenever you need to be brought back to reality after tearing up other courses.
GlenEagles is a good course to play if you've only got a few hours to spare and you don't have a teetime nor do you want to trek too far outside of SF to get your golf on. That said, the conditions are definitely lacking. The rough is just someone's backyard turf, the fairway isn't particularly well kept, and the greens, though undulating, are bumpy and slow. The course will definitely test you though - the holes aren't too long, but the layout is challenging and the fairways are narrow-ish. All in all not a terrible 9-hole experience, but nothing to relish.

Gleneagles is a challenging golf course. The greens are in good shape and extremely undulating. You never have a flat lie in the fairway and the grass is thin at best. Don't expect any good lies :). Tee boxes - a bit rough and not very flat. This is a great course to hone your skills. Handicaps from this course travel well. Finally, slow play is not looked kindly upon.
The bar is great - reasonable prices, old school feel, good selection (especially beer and scotches), no foofy drinks, nice tv (not HD), and friendly bartenders. A classic 19th hole.
Tom S. said it best, this is not country club golf. There's no bag drop, no pro shop (other then the spruced up closet with shirts, hats, windshirts, etc...), and yes it is right next to the projects. It's a tough course with reasonable prices, no tee times (except weekends), a cool bar, and unique local charm. You will either play there once and never go back. Or, you will play there every chance you get.
Very difficult indeed. Has the feel of a "real" golf course for 25% (?) of the price. Yeah, some things aren't as groomed as they should be, but if you're looking for a genuine challenge, Gleneagles will provide one. No pretensions, just golf. Windy, foggy, rolling, tilted curse-inducing golf.
The projects, which are nearby, really don't factor in to your golf game. I personally wouldn't worry about their proximity.
Coolest Golf experience in quite a while. The bartender started the day. We grabbed a couple of dos equis. I hit a perfect drive down the middle, a wicked 8 iron to the middle of the green. Some maniacal greenskeeper put the pin tucked way up on top above a 3 foot slope. Can you say 4 putt? Nice Double bogie after two great shots. Welcome to GlenEagles. Its a very tough track and the putts are deceptively difficult. The 600 yard par 5 is an amazing touch right after the hole the abuts the Sunnydale Housing project. I played very well and managed to shoot a 50. If you loved the movie Barfly, and happen to play a bit of golf, I recommend combining the experiences and bring a small brown paper bag and play.
