Unique History

 

Established on May 6, 1860, The Olympic Club has long been a west coast powerhouse in amateur sports. The Club is the home of many local, regional, national and international champions and has hosted five U.S. Opens.

 

Membership & Facilities

 

 

Our 5,000 active members compete in over 19 sports and enjoy two historic clubhouses in San Francisco: the City Club, near Union Square, and Lakeside, at the Pacific Ocean.

 

 

Golf at The Olympic Club

 

By 1922, the Club had acquired enough acreage to replace the original golf course with two 18-hole golf courses. Willie Watson and course superintendent Sam Whiting designed the first Lake and Ocean courses in 1924. Unfortunately, storm damage led Sam Whiting to redesign both courses again in 1927. 

 

The Lake Course remains true to the 1927 design with minimal renovations in the intervening years. Prior to the 1955 U.S. Open, the Club brought the USGA’s official course architect, Robert Trent Jones, Sr., to toughen the Lake Course for competition. 

 

Most recently, the Club completed the Lake Course Greens Replacement project. Conversion from poa annua to bent-grass greens was the primary objective of the project, but the crew also rebuilt and renovated greens. The new 8th hole, the first routing change to the course since 1927, was sculpted into the surrounding hillside with views of the clubhouse. It played as a 200-yard par 3.
