The Ocean Course at The Olympic Club has a tumultuous history. Originally named Lakeside Golf Club, it was bought by Olympic in 1918 after falling into some financial trouble following World War I. The course became the Ocean course in 1924, but winter storm damage just months after it opened forced the need for the course to be remodeled before finally reopening in 1927. Set on the western (ocean) side of the Olympic Club property, the land is more naturally invigorating than that of the more famous Lake Course, with wonderful variety in the holes and incredibly undulating greens, along with San Francisco's beautiful Cypress trees. Designer Jim Urbina will begin a major overhaul of the course in 2026 that will pay homage to architect William Watson while also infusing the course with new strategic blood.
