While for the most part a city is a city is a city, "the city" (as we call it) has quite a unique charm.
The other thing that draws folks to the city isn't so much the city itself but what is within a few minutes drive; beautiful beaches and the Pacific Coast Highway as well as some of the best wineries in the world.
And, if you're feeling adventerous, you can head across the Bay Bridge and roll the dice in Oakland.
Spank - Where the hell is Lincoln Park? I'm not a city card holder so Harding is ridiculous, is Lincoln Park any better? I have a buddy that is a member of the Olympic Club so I'm going to get a chance to play there but I'd love to try some of the other courses up there as well.
