A centrally located hotel enhances any San Francisco golf vacation. Ghirardelli Square is in the midst of the hustle and bustle of many of San Francisco's best tourist attractions. Steps away from most hotels, you can walk to the start of the cable car route, Fisherman's Wharf, The Cannery and Pier 39. Best of all, San Francisco also offers some terrific, centrally located, public golf courses, such as the Presidio course.
