San Francisco's Tilted Championship Golf Test | Olympic Club's Lake Course

Site of five U.S. Opens and host of this year's U.S. Amateur, Olympic Club's Lake Course has managed to maintain its stout championship reputation through a combination of difficult, reverse cambered fairways that sit across extreme topography, unforgiving Cypress trees, and cold, damp weather. Originally constructed in the mid-1920's, a recent renovation by Hanse Golf Course Design has worked to restore the course's old-school look and feel by bringing features back onto the ground, opening up vistas across the property, and expanding greens (a little) to bring back hole locations on Olympic's generally small, tilted greens.
