The 7th Annual Alister MacKenzie Tournament to Save Sharp Park is hosted by the San Francisco Public Golf Alliance, Sharp Park Men's and Women's golf clubs, Pacifica Historical Society, Pacifica Chamber of Commerce and the Alister MacKenzie Foundation.

 

The San Francisco Public Golf Alliance's goal is to nurture and defend affordable, eco-friendly public golf in San Francisco for future generations by encouraging public golf throughout all segments of the community, and by caring for San Francisco's heritage public golf courses. One of these is Sharp Park, an historic seaside links, designed by the preeminent architect Alister MacKenzie, who also designed Augusta National, Cypress Point, and many of the world’s most highly-esteemed courses. Sharp Park is one of MacKenzie’s rare public courses, and together with the Eden Course at St. Andrews, his only seaside public links.
