Lake Merced Golf Course was redesigned in 1929 under the guidance of Dr. Alister MacKenzie and more recently in 1996 by Rees Jones. This championship marks the first time since its inception in 1912 that the State Amateur has been played in Northern California away from the Monterey Peninsula. The championship began at Del Monte GC, then shifted to Pebble Beach in 1919 and Monterey Peninsula Country Club in 2007.

Entry for spectators is free for this event at Lake Merced.
