The original Sam Whiting and Willie Watson-designed championship course at Harding Park opened in 1925 and began hosting amateur tournaments soon after - most prominently the San Francisco City Championship and the United States Golf Association's National Public Links Championships in 1937 and 1956. Harding Park's legacy for hosting professional tournaments began with the 1944 Victory Open and won by the likes of Byron Nelson and Jimmy Demaret. Professional golf continued with the Lucky International Open in the 1960s, an event whose champions included World Golf Hall of Fame members Gary Player, Gene Littler, Jackie Burke, Jr., Chi Chi Rodriguez, and San Francisco's own Ken Venturi.
There is a 9-hole executive course (Fleming) and an 18-hole championship course. The course layout and a hole-by-hole description can be found online at the Harding Park website.
