Lake Merced Golf Club
Sporting Club in Daly City, CA
Lake Merced Golf Club has a long and storied history. Established in 1922, the club was born in another era, at a time when Babe Ruth was a young star on the rise and Bob Jones had not yet won a major championship. The club was established in downtown San Francisco at the Merchant's Exchange Building when a tiny group of seven directors met to start organizational efforts. They agreed to purchase 140 acres from the Spring Valley Water Company on Junipero Serra Boulevard S of the property owned by the San Francisco Golf & Country Club in San Mateo County.

Golf
read moreOur golf course is defined by natural beauty, enhanced by dramatic elevation changes carved into tree-lined, manicured fairways. The course is nationally recognized as a tough but fair test of golf. The course, like our club itself, has undergone many changes in its lifetime. In July of 1923, the original course designed by Willie Lock opened for play on what was once coastal sand dunes to the west of San Francisco. In 1929, Dr. Alister MacKenzie, architect of Augusta National, was retained to improve the bunkers and areas around the greens.
Our Story
read moreThe mission of Lake Merced Golf Club is to provide a comfortable, friendly place for members to relax, to enjoy each other's company, to play golf and tennis, and to participate in social activities. The Club encourages a diverse membership with mutual respect for individual member values and preferences. This 18 hole golf club is a magnificent jewel for golf purists and a wonderful example of what makes the great City of San Francisco so special. In 1922 a group of local visionaries purchased a 140 acre plot of land just a few miles south of the Financial District of San Francisco and made it into what is now-a renowned historic landmark signified by the greatness of bold endeavor and achievement.
