Torrey Pines Golf Course is a 36-hole municipal public golf facility in San Diego, California. Torrey Pines has two famous 18-hole golf courses, North and South, both designed by William F. Bell (son of noted course architect William P. Bell). Fog, rain and wind often sweep the seaside courses, testing even the most seasoned players' skill. The course takes its name from the indigenous Torrey Pine, which is native to this area and Santa Rosa Island. The tree is distinguished by having clusters of five pine needles.
The South Course was redesigned by Rees Jones in 2001, and is now 7,698 yards (7,039 m) in length from the back tees with par at 72.
The North Course was redesigned by Tom Weiskopf in 2016, switching the front nine with the back nine so that the famous ocean views are now enjoyed by golfers finishing their rounds.
Torrey Pines annually hosts the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour.
Torrey Pines hosts the San Diego City Amateur Golf Championships every June, and the Junior World Golf Championships every July.
We run about 65 tournaments a year on the South and North courses and a variety of other courses around San Diego County.
After tomorrow's second round, we will be announcing the Low Net, Low Gross and Flight winners for the Senior Weekday Championship. In addition to the tournament prizes, some of these winners will have an opportunity to qualify for a slot in the SCGA Tournament of Club Champions in December.
Torrey Pines South is undergoing deferred maintenance through August 2019. During this project, 2 holes will be closed while under construction. The closed holes will change during the course of the project. The other 16 holes will be completely playable. Holes 6 and 13 will be split into two holes with one temporary green added to each hole. We will play the 16 open holes in our tournaments. We will not play the temporary greens. If you play the course during open play, you should post your score by taking net pars on the two closed holes. If you play the temporary greens on 6 and 13, then you should also take net pars on 6 and 13 when posting your score.
Golf is a gentleman’s game, a game of integrity. It is each member’s responsibility to ensure scores are recorded accurately. Remember – by signing the scorecard it is a confirmation that scores are recorded properly.
So, remember this. If you intentionally record inaccurate scores, there will be consequences ranging from a long suspension to expulsion from the club and possibly forfeiture of some winnings. If you observe another member doing this and you do nothing about it, you are not respecting the game and are also subjecting yourself to disciplinary action.
