Harding Park's layout follows the original routing as designed by architect Willie Watson in 1925. The course takes advantage of the property's existing topography, contours and vegetation. The predominant features include the towering Monterey Cypress trees and the nearby presence of Lake Merced. Harding's strategy and character have been substantially enhanced with the inclusion of several carefully placed bunkers and re-contoured green complexes. The addition of multiple teeing surfaces provides the course the flexibility to offer distinct playing characteristics that will challenge every golfer, from beginner to the most skilled player.

The Harding Park complex includes an outstanding executive nine-hole course known as the Fleming Golf Course. The Fleming nine has been revitalized to the same discerning standards and conditioning as Harding's re-creation, albeit shorter in length yet full of strategy and interest. Fleming plays to a par of 30, with a total yardage for the nine holes ranging from 1865 yards from the forward tees to 2165 yards from the regular tees. The three par fours and six par threes are an excellent alternative to Harding's championship layout, providing a comfortable setting for the beginning or learning golfer.

Harding Park also features a practice putting green and an all-season practice area with state-of-the-art TourTurf™ surface installed in both the teeing and landing areas.

Spyglass Hill Golf Course
This Robert Trent Jones design was beautiful but controversial when it opened in 1963. Alterations have settled the controversy, but the beauty remains just the same. Most fairways are tight and the pine trees often seem to stand in the line of play. Spyglass is long, technical, and some think it is too unforgiving; but one thing is sure, it remains one of Robert Trent Jones's best achievements and, one of the most difficult and beautiful tests of golf that the public can play.

Pebble Beach Golf Links
Jack Nicklaus has called Pebble Beach his favorite course. Many think it is the best in the country and certainly the most beautiful. The course sits by Carmel Bay and probably has the most scenic setting in all of golf. The course is difficult, but no matter how you play, it is the golfer's experience of a lifetime.

Spanish Bay Golf Links
The land available to the designers of this course was perfect links terrain: a gently rolling, ocean-side, windswept area of sand dunes and marshes. The Scottish influence can be observed everywhere on the course. The small greens are nestled between dunes, pot bunkers hide behind grassy mounds, and tees, fairways and greens were seeded with fescue grasses to provide the firm playing surface found on the old-world links.
