About The Olympic Club
Perched on the hills overlooking Lake Merced and the Pacific Ocean, the Lake Course is a masterpiece of precision. It is famous for having no fairway bunkers; instead, players must contend with slanted fairways and over 40,000 trees that create narrow, “hallway-like” vistas. This marks the first time the Olympic Club has hosted a PGA Championship since its legendary run of U.S. Opens.
