Harding Park's layout follows the original routing as designed by architect Willie Watson in 1925. The course takes advantage of the property's existing topography, contours and vegetation. The predominant features include the towering Monterey Cypress trees and the nearby presence of Lake Merced. Harding's strategy and character have been substantially enhanced with the inclusion of several carefully placed bunkers and re-contoured green complexes. The addition of multiple teeing surfaces provides the course the flexibility to offer distinct playing characteristics that will challenge every golfer, from beginner to the most skilled player.

The Harding Park complex includes an outstanding executive nine-hole course known as the Fleming Golf Course. The Fleming nine has been revitalized to the same discerning standards and conditioning as Harding's re-creation, albeit shorter in length yet full of strategy and interest. Fleming plays to a par of 30, with a total yardage for the nine holes ranging from 1865 yards from the forward tees to 2165 yards from the regular tees. The three par fours and six par threes are an excellent alternative to Harding’s championship layout, providing a comfortable setting for the beginning or learning golfer.

Harding Park also features a practice putting green and an all-season practice area with state-of-the-art TourTurf™ surface installed in both the teeing and landing areas. Harding is proud to be home to the First Tee Chapter of San Francisco, an educational program co-sponsored by the PGA Tour which introduces underprivileged youth to the benefits of golf.

Absolutely wonderful traditional style course. Each hole slightly undulates and curves, and there are no blind shots. Each hole is perfectly framed by cypress pine trees. There are no carts allowed on the fairways (except for handicap) so the fairways and rough always look great. The AMEX was here in '05 (Tiger won), and the PRESIDENT'S CUP will be here in '09. Holes 13 through 18 border Lake Merced and are 6 very outstanding consecutive holes.
