Torrey Pines – South Course
Book now online or by phone
San Diego, California
Architect: William Bell
Fairway: Kikuyu with Rye
Green: Bent with Poa Annua
Par: 72
Slope: 143
Yards: 7607

The most popular and most difficult of the two courses is Torrey Pines, South Course, particularly after its 1999 renovation.  Newly designed teeing areas extend the length of this course to up to 7,600 yards. When the sea breeze picks up by mid-morning, or rain or fog sweep the coastal areas, playing the South from the back tees is a challenge even for the best of golfers in the world. The new par-3 third hole is a live postcard showing a green perched at the edge of a canyon, with the ocean, coastline, and La Jolla in the background.

The twelfth hole is a monster par-4 of 470 yards, into the wind, that runs parallel to the Torrey Pines glider port. In addition to having to deal with the elements and the intricacies of their own swing, golfers must also deal with the distractive view of hang-gliders and para-gliders, soaring and hovering at the edge of the cliffs.

 This is not a golf course for the beginning golfer, unless that golfer enjoys looking at huge numbers on the score card and has predilection for raking bunkers. Selecting the set of tees to match the golfer’s ability will ensure a more gratifying golf experience.
