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.
2025 will be a big year for big-time national and international golf championships in San Francisco and Northern California, with the US Amateur Championship scheduled for mid-August and the Walker Cup scheduled in early September. 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.
