Facts and practical information

Nestled along the stunning coast of San Diego, the Torrey Pines Golf Course is a true paradise for golf enthusiasts and a gem in the crown of American golf destinations. With its breathtaking ocean views and challenging play, Torrey Pines has earned its reputation as one of the nation's premier municipal golf courses.

This iconic golf course, known for hosting prestigious tournaments such as the U.S. Open, boasts two 18-hole championship courses: the South Course and the North Course. Both offer a unique blend of scenic beauty and golfing challenge, with the South Course being the more renowned of the two, thanks to its more rigorous layout and the dramatic setting it provides for major championships.

The South Course, stretching to over 7,800 yards, is a true test of skill with its narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and undulating greens. It was redesigned by the legendary Rees Jones in preparation for the 2008 U.S. Open and has since continued to challenge the world's best golfers. The North Course, while slightly shorter, is no less impressive, with its recent renovation by Tom Weiskopf enhancing its playability and charm.

The courses are set against the backdrop of the Torrey Pines State Reserve, which adds to the serene and natural ambiance. Golfers at Torrey Pines are often treated to the sight of hang gliders and paragliders riding the coastal thermals above the cliffs, as well as the occasional glimpse of whales migrating offshore during certain times of the year.

Torrey Pines is not only a golfer's haven but also a public course, making it accessible for locals and visitors alike to experience a round of golf on a world-class layout. The facilities include a driving range, putting greens, and a pro shop stocked with gear and apparel. The on-site restaurant, The Lodge at Torrey Pines, offers a luxurious stay and fine dining with impressive views of the Pacific Ocean.
