A sign on the side of the gate leading into the Golf Course. It read:

Attention: Visitors to Harding Park
Please stay on the paths indicated. Thanks!

[orange line] Pedestrian Path (Walkers, Joggers, etc.)
This is the only path of travel through the Harding Park Golf Course. Cart paths indicated on this plan are strictly for golfers. For your own safety, stay on this path of travel. Thank you!

[blue star] Cart Path Intersection
Path for golf carts and golfers only. No access beyond this point.

The pedestrian path in was also the automobile road in. Despite this being a municipally owned golf course, it was not pedestrian friendly. Highway access was along this Harding Road in, just off of Skyline Boulevard (behind).

There are two courses inside Harding Park Golf Course, the 18-hole Harding Park Course, and the 9-Hole Fleming Course. Here was hole 17 of the Harding Park Course.

The golf course was filled with tall, mature cypress trees. This made for a very scenic drive in.

Two golfers played just beyond the trees. The cart path was evident with the cart at the left edge of the image. The size of the golfers demonstrated the massive width of the trees.

A world famous nature photographer walked along one of the golf cart paths. Just beyond was Lake Merced. And in the foreground was a mass of yellow wild flowers.

The roadway into the golf course ended at a parking lot. The sign to the right read:

Welcome to Harding Park
Home of The Presidents Cup 2009

The driving range was just off the parking lot. A tall fenced area within which there were no trees.

The parking lot was large enough for many cars. The lot widened such that all parking was resonably equal distance from the club house. The nearest bus stop was over 1/2 mile away.

A side view of the driving range as seen looking through the tall fence.

The club house had an electric cart corral out front. Inside the club house was the Harding Grill (menu ).

The parking lot as viewed from the front of the club house. Notice that the only young trees on this course were in the parking lot. Perhaps they were added for last year's Presidents Cup match.

A putting green was just behind the club house. The sign read:

No Chipping

Chipping a ball means to give it a little extra loft by striking it low (close to the grass). A missjudged chipping shot can injure grass.

Behind the club house was a cart path that led to the warehouse were electric carts were recharged and maintained.
