presents information on
Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course is located about 20
minutes North of downtown San Diego on the coastal bluffs of
Southern
California, between the cities of
La Jolla, CA and Del Mar, CA. There are
two 18-hole Torrey Pines Golf Courses - Torrey North and Torrey South. Both
courses are played by the PGA TOUR professionals during the Buick
Invitational of California held in January or February every year. The
courses were originally designed by William Bell, Sr. in 1957. In 2001, at a
cost of $ 3.5 million, Torrey Pines South Course was renovated and
redesigned by Rees Jones. The renovation and redesign made the Torrey Pines
South longer and more difficult and it was subsequently selected by the USGA
to host 2008 U.S. Open Championship. Although both golf courses provide some
of the most dramatic golf ocean views from several holes,
Torrey Pines North
is still considered the host for the Torrey Pines Golf Course signature hole
which is the Par 3 # 6 Hole. Torrey Pines North is the shorter and less difficult course
and the green fees are $ 40 - $ 50 per person less than Torrey Pines South.
Although the North course will not provide quite the same test of your golf
skills as Torrey Pines South, many golfers consider the North course to be a
little more scenic than the South - but not by much as both courses have
breathtaking ocean views. At 7,227 yards from the blue tees and a slope /
rating of 139 / 76.1, Torrey Pines South is an extremely tough test of your
golf skills. Fortunately there is a great selection of tee boxes and
yardages so golfers of all abilities can enjoy the fabulous ocean views and
a great day of
San Diego golf at either Torrey Pines golf course. Call 800-867-7397 for reservations at Torrey Pines golf course
