Urbina’s own project page describes an effort to recover Watson’s links-style character through a master plan; it does not announce a completed course.

Course guide
The maintained course record, presented separately from live booking.
The Olympic Club’s Ocean Course is closed for a major renovation led by Jim Urbina. The club estimates a fall 2026 opening, but has not announced resumed play. Check the club’s current course status before planning a visit; the Lake and nine-hole Cliffs courses are separate playing units.
The 18-hole Ocean Course opened in May 1924 as the Pacific Links. Storm damage led to a new routing that reopened in 1927. The club describes a full Tom Weiskopf reconstruction in 2000 and further Bill Love work in 2012; the current Urbina project began in 2026. These are distinct design periods, and pre-renovation hole descriptions cannot describe the finished course. Olympic Club course history and the USGA’s course overview document the earlier history.
An August 2025 Coastal Commission proposal describes irrigation replacement, tee, bunker and green changes, grading and turf updates, tree removal with native replacement plantings, and practice-facility repairs within the existing footprint. That regulatory scope is not proof of completion.
The Ocean is part of the private Lakeside property at 599 Skyline Boulevard, San Francisco, CA 94132. The Lakeside clubhouse phone is (415) 404-4300. The club golf page describes member and guest play generally, but the Ocean is not currently available. There is no verified public tee-time booking. The club guest information explains Lakeside arrival and attire; confirm any future golf invitation with the club.
A current post-renovation scorecard, named-tee ratings, rates and photographs of the completed playing layout have not been published in an accessible primary source. The three photographs shown here come from PJ Koenig’s Ocean Course gallery and were captured February 6, 2018, before the Urbina renovation. Their visible captions identify them as archival; they do not establish the finished layout or supply current playing figures.
The live USGA Ocean listing checked November 4, 2026 still carries Black men at 6,851 yards, par 71, 74.3/133 (TeeID786511), and Blue men at 6,582 yards, par 71, 72.8/131 (TeeID786512). The table gives no effective date. These are legacy or unverified-for-finished-layout association listings during the closure, not certified ratings of the renovated course; they are excluded from the current fact band.
