This Alister Mackenzie design has seen major changes over its lifetime thanks to the widening of Highway 1 and the building of a seawall on the back nine, but many Mackenzie characteristics still exist. Located just south of San Francisco in Pacifica, but managed and owned by San Francisco, this beauty of a course starts off slow and peaks on the back nine with some fantastic links-style golf just feet away from the ocean. For those looking to boast that they’ve played a Mackenzie, Sharp is certainly the cheapest and has character to boot. Don’t forget to head in to the clubhouse after for their famous garlic fries.
