Now clear of a legal hurdle that nearly endangered its existence, municipally owned Sharp Park Golf Course in Pacifica, Calif., is undergoing the first of a multi-phase renovation designed to bring it back to its glory days. The Alister MacKenzie-designed course, opened in 1934, is owned and operated by the City of San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, though it technically occupies part of a 412-acre park in adjoining San Mateo County.
