The Olympic Club
A historic invitation-only private athletic club founded in 1860, with two 18-hole courses (Lake and Ocean) in southwest San Francisco. The Lake Course is one of the most storied U.S. Open venues in the country. Membership is by sponsorship/invitation rather than an open application process.

What to Independently Verify
Membership is invitation-only with sponsorship required; aggregator sites report wide-ranging initiation-fee estimates ($25,000 to $175,000+ depending on category) that are not confirmed at a primary club source -- treat all published numbers as unverified estimates and confirm current fees and waitlist status directly with the club. No evidence found this session of any residential community with membership bundled to home purchase near the club; nearby neighborhoods (Lakeside, Merced Manor, Ingleside Terraces) are established San Francisco neighborhoods, not a developer-built golf community.
