Presidio Golf & Concordia Club is the 2016 merger of two of San Francisco's oldest private clubs: the Presidio Golf Club, founded in 1895 after the US Army granted a group of civilians permission to build a golf course on Presidio grounds (its original 1898 Tudor-style clubhouse still stands), and the Concordia-Argonaut Club, San Francisco's oldest Jewish social club, founded as the Concordia Club in 1864 by Levi Strauss and a group of friends and merged with the Argonaut Club in 1939. When the Concordia-Argonaut Club sold its own building in 2015, the two historic institutions combined into a single club headquartered at the Presidio Golf Club's site, followed by an $8.5 million renovation that added a fitness center, spa-style locker rooms, sauna, steam room, and Jacuzzi alongside the club's existing golf, dining, and social programming. The merged club's clubhouse sits at 8 Presidio Terrace -- a small, extremely exclusive, privately gated 36-lot enclave built starting in 1905 immediately adjacent to the Presidio, past and present home to figures including Sen. Dianne Feinstein and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- and is described by the club itself as 'the private club set on the Presidio Golf Course,' offering members golf tournaments and events, weekly games, preferred booking, dining, and fitness access alongside the same historic 18-hole layout that today's public, Presidio Trust-operated Presidio Golf Course occupies.
Golf & Course
The golf ground traces to 1895, when civilians were first permitted to lay out a course on Presidio Army land; today the same 18-hole layout, winding through mature cypress, pine, and eucalyptus, is operated as a public facility (Presidio Golf Course) by the Presidio Trust, while Presidio Golf & Concordia Club members are offered preferred access and club-organized tournaments and games on that same ground. The club does not appear to operate a separate, privately-owned 18-hole course of its own -- its distinct, privately controlled asset is the clubhouse and its dining/fitness/social program, not a separate playing field.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is private and by application through the club's membership director (contact published on pgccsf.com); no public per-member initiation fee or dues figure was found this session, and the club's IRS nonprofit filing reports only an aggregate initiation-fee total across all members, not a usable per-member figure. Waitlist status and any sponsorship requirement were not confirmed. Homeownership in the adjacent Presidio Terrace enclave was not found to include or require club membership -- membership and the enclave's real estate appear to be two separate things sharing an address, not a bundled amenity.
Living in Presidio Golf & Concordia Club
The clubhouse is physically sited within Presidio Terrace, one of San Francisco's most exclusive private residential enclaves (36 lots on a single privately owned, gated street off Arguello Boulevard, developed starting 1905), giving the club genuine residential-fabric integration even though no evidence was found of formal membership bundling to homes on that street.
Location & Surrounding Area
8 Presidio Terrace, San Francisco -- immediately adjacent to, but administratively separate from, the Presidio itself (a unit of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area) and its public Presidio Golf Course.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current initiation fee and annual dues directly with the club (Membership Director, via pgccsf.com) -- not publicly published; only an aggregate nonprofit-filing initiation-fee revenue figure ($159,000 for one fiscal year, EIN 94-0781940) was found, which cannot be converted into a per-member fee.
- Confirm the precise current operational relationship between club-member golf access and the Presidio Trust's public tee-time system for the shared course -- sources describe the club as 'set on the Presidio Golf Course' but do not fully detail the arrangement.
- Confirm membership waitlist status and whether sponsorship is required.
- Do not confuse this private club with the unrelated, informal 'Presidio Players Club'/men's-club-style loyalty programs run directly by the public Presidio Golf Course (presidiogolf.com) -- these are separate, much lower-barrier offerings tied to the public facility, not this private club.
