Golf in Oakland

Oakland is the county seat of Alameda County and the largest city on the eastern shore of San Francisco Bay, across the bay from San Francisco. The city has a substantial and diverse economy with the Port of Oakland, one of the busiest container ports on the West Coast, healthcare, education, and a growing technology sector. Oakland's downtown remains a center of government, arts, and commercial activity. The city has multiple BART stations connecting it to San Francisco and the East Bay, and the Bay Bridge provides vehicle access to San Francisco. Oakland International Airport serves the East Bay and broader Bay Area travel market. The Oakland Hills rise steeply east of the flat bay side of the city, with residential neighborhoods occupying both the flat and hillside areas. The city has a diverse and substantial population and a long-standing role as the East Bay's main urban center.
