San Francisco Rec-Park's proposed $6 Million “elimination of general fund subsidy” represents a 1/3 CUT in Rec-Park’s 2026-27 Golf Budget. The SF Public Golf Alliance vigorously objects to this proposed slashing of support for public golf. We know San Francisco has a severe budget shortfall. We will carry a fair share. But it is not fair or reasonable to single-out public golf as Rec-Park’s only recreational service to be completely cut off from its General Fund support.

San Francisco locals have featured prominently in the U.S. Amateur. This year’s tournament should bring the same excitement and action of The City’s past championships.
