TPC Harding Park
San Francisco, CA
TPC Harding Park stands as a testament to classic municipal golf, offering a championship-caliber experience within the vibrant heart of San Francisco. Designed by the esteemed duo of Sam Whiting and Willie Watson in 1925, this public gem embodies a timeless parkland style, characterized by tree-lined fairways and subtle elevation changes that demand thoughtful shot-making.
