Olympic Club, Private golf course in San Francisco, United States
The Olympic Club is a private golf course in San Francisco offering a total of 45 holes spread across multiple layouts. The most recognized among them sits along the shore of Lake Merced near the Pacific coast and winds through hilly terrain with trees and sand bunkers.
The club began in 1860 as a sports organization featuring different disciplines and evolved over the decades into a golf facility. The lakeside course has hosted national tournaments on several occasions and shaped American golf history through these events.
The club's name recalls its early years when Olympic sports took center stage before golf became the main focus. Members today use both locations for practice and social gatherings in a quiet setting.
Access is limited to members and their guests, and advance registration is required. The lakeside facility can be reached via a driveway south of downtown, and parking is available for visitors.
The fairways by the lake sit partly in fog banks that roll in from the Pacific and make play unpredictable. Wind shifts quickly and changes conditions from hole to hole, challenging even experienced players.
