Eleven acres, in pictures.

Every photograph here was taken at Presidio Hills. The album grows as the story does — starting with the course as we found it, in all its stubborn beauty.

The Landscape

Phone photos from years of rounds with family and friends. No filters — the light here really does this.

A jacaranda in full purple bloom over a green fairway under a dramatic sky — Jacaranda season over the front nine.

A red flag on a green backed by a golden hillside and eucalyptus — A flag against the Presidio hillside — the view from 1932, unchanged.

The stone Presidio Hills welcome sign with the Casa de Carrillo state landmark plaque — The welcome sign — and the plaque for Casa de Carrillo, California Historical Landmark No. 74.

The 1821 adobe clubhouse beneath a giant shade tree near the second hole marker, jacaranda blooming — The second hole, the great tree, and a clubhouse older than California.

The green Presidio Hills Golf Course Par 3, 18 Holes sign under a moody sky — Par 3. Eighteen holes. Est. 1932.

A golfer's follow-through beneath the row of old trees along the fence line — The tee line under the old trees.

A golfer punching out from beneath low branches — Every lie here teaches you something.

A red flag glimpsed through a dark canopy of trees — A flag through the canopy — Bell hid his trouble on purpose.

The fence line and tree row beside a practice mat and dry turf — The honest part: mats and dust where grass should be. This is why we're here.

Coming to the album

In progress

The Honest Record

The course as it is — brown fairways, broken irrigation, the disrepair worth documenting before it becomes a before-photo.

Gathering

The Golden Years

Archival photographs from the Abrego era and the Junior World decades — shared by the families who lived them. Have some in a shoebox? We'd love to see them.

Planned

The Course, Properly Shot

A professional photo and film session capturing the course's light, its quirks, and its people.

Old photos of Presidio Hills — tournaments, lessons, family rounds, any decade — are treasure to this project. Write us: hello@findingpresidiohills.org.
