Lake Merced Golf Club, Private golf club in Daly City, United States.
Lake Merced Golf Club is a private 18-hole golf course near Daly City with 6,923 yards of playing area. The course has a rating of 73.9 and a slope rating of 140, reflecting its level of difficulty.
The course was founded in 1922 and received redesigns from Willie Locke and Alister MacKenzie in 1929. Further changes followed in the 1960s due to the construction of Interstate 280.
The club has long served as a gathering place where members from different generations come together to play golf. It holds a strong sense of community among players who share a passion for the sport.
The course offers varying elevation changes and strategically placed greens that require careful shot planning across all 18 holes. Visitors should prepare for changing conditions and allow sufficient time to play the full course.
A 2021 restoration by architect Gil Hanse added a Himalaya-style practice course covering 36,000 square feet while reconstructing all the greens on the property. This comprehensive update brought modern design to the historic course.
