TPC Harding Park Overview: This very old golf course has seen resurgence since being
renovated and playing host to PGA Events including the match play in 2015 and the Presidents cup in 2009. The golf course itself is a very simple,
tree-lined golf course with small greens. The
front nine is fairly boring and makes up the interior of the course, but the
back nine continues the narrow hole concept around the perimeter of the
property with a better views of the surrounding area and several more exciting
shots where hazards come into play. The
best Harding Park Golf Holes are reviewed below:
TPC Harding Park Hole 3: This first par three of the day is uphill to a well-designed green between two bunkers that allow for many pin placements, most of which require a thoughtful shot.

TPC Harding Park Hole 4: The only other memorable hole on the front nine is this 606 yard beast of a dogleg left par 5. The drive is fairly wide open but the second shot narrows between the massive cypress trees. The third then must avoid the green-side bunkers to allow for a good attempt at par. (not pictured)
TPC Harding Park Hole 10: The back nine starts with a dogleg left par five that skirts the edge of the property. Left is bad from tee to green, but avoiding the bunkers along the way is a good idea too..

TPC Harding Park Hole 14: Long and punishing, this straight par four requires to solid shots to reach the green. There are large trees on both sides of the fairway and a greenside bunker to avoid.
TPC Harding Park Hole 16: This short par four is tight with a massive tree to the right of the fairway that will create havoc with any tee shot right. Left is the better approach to the green, but too far left will find the hazard. The green is well protected, small, and undulating.
TPC Harding Park Hole 18: The final tee shot of the day is one of the more intimidating ones in all of golf. The golfer can decide how much of the lake / corner to cut off, but even after crossing, the trees on the left can still be in play as the green on this dogleg is cut up against the lake again and is protected by large trees on the left. A more conservative approach will take the trees out of play, but might find the bunkers through the fairway and will definitely leave a long approach to the final green of the day.
