The clubhouse is on the right. Turn right on Country Club Drive.

GLENEAGLES INTERNATIONAL GOLF COURSE (1962)

BAY AREA REGION

Municipal - 9 hole -cost: $13 - $16

2100 Sunnydale Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94134

Tel: (415) 587-2425

 

Designed by Jack Fleming. Prepare for battle. This rugged (unkempt) nine-hole course will push your game to the limit. You will be fighting against hilly, narrow, tree-lined terrain, uneven lies and hitting onto little greens. If you play in the morning, you must brave the elements San Francisco is famous for-fog and wind. How many nine-hole courses have you seen with a slope of 140? From San Francisco: Take US 101 south. Exit at Paul Avenue. Take Mansell straight up the hill. Stay to the left and turn left on Sunnydale Avenue. The driveway is on the left and has no signage. This is not in the best part of town. Like most courses in San Francisco, the facility is badly in need of renovation. This course is a diamond in the rough, and could be a showplace.
