Very dissapointing
Course is not in good shape. The rough is mostly gone and the fairway is beat up. A ton of brown spots all over the course. The greens were slow as a snail. I wouldn't be so harsh if they weren't still charging full price. Hole 3 was fine and all but the majority of the holes here are just not that impressive. Staff was very friendly but I won't ever recommend TP. The course is clearly in transition for the tournament and they shouldn't' be charging full price.
Course is in very bad condition
Played north as the first day of a 3 day guys trip. We felt incredibly lucky to score tee times on both North and South. I never expected to be so disappointed in Torrey Pines. The course was in disastrous conditions. The rough has been completely chopped down to prep for the tournament. In it's place are just the brown roots of the rough which are incredibly difficult to hit off of, i would have preferred actual rough. The fairway was completely brown. We still had to pay full price and yet they will still nickel and dime you for everything. Ever had a 10 dollar old hotdog at the turn? Out of 18 holes there are 3 spectacular (albeit brown) holes. The rest are forgettable.
Where Legends Walk
Of course Torrey Pines is legendary and a bucket list course to play. I played from the back tees and it was certainly a challenge. Tee boxes were beat up given the amount of traffic going through this place, but greens were fast true and i really enjoyed the layout. Fairways were in good shape. Bucket list '- complete.
Great Round
Overall you can’t beat the course if you have the city pass. We were able to get in 13 holes with a later start time. So, pace of play was faster than normal for this time of year.
Rough is longer than normal this time of year making the course a bit more challenging. I will be back to play again soon.
DO NOT GOLF HERE!
I played here over 2 dozen time and the only nice or even competent staff member I have met is Chuck the starter. Everyone else a complete and utter baffoon.
There is a long history of just getting the Karen treatment from nearly every type of staff. Just test this next time you are here and try to kill the staff with kindness and see what you get in return.
In my most recent experience, my tee time was at 8:10 and my playing partner shows up to the tee box at 8:05 (I paid for him and check him in well before 20 minute before our tee time, like their policy states) and I watch the starter berate him saying that we are already 1.5 holes behind - but he was 5 mins early. I know this trick they do because they’re notorious for overbooking - they have at least 20 singles foaming at the mouth to get out - so, if you’re 5 minutes early, they will give away your tee time away to a scavenger.
This is MIND BLOWING how they don’t change their ways... I mean a course like this shouldn’t have a 3.3 on golf advisor. Take that as a serious sign, mgmt.
Wow! The view!
Golfing at Torrey Pines South had to have been one of the best experiences in my golfing career. I’m visiting from North Carolina and our beach views just aren't the same. Since I was visiting, I needed to rent clubs. I figured that because the course is so nice, the rentals would be a bit pricey and I was right.. So I took to the internet and found Clubshare before I went. Got a nice set of rentals right by where I was staying for $25 and was on my way to Nice Course. I won’t only miss the amazing view of the course but also the feeling of that ocean breeze. It made me almost forget that I was shooting a double bogey on every hole. Although the course was pricey; if you are visiting from out of town I think it is definitely worth it.
Beautiful, Historic, and thick
Obviously for out of towners, you play this course for the experience (you also pay quite a hefty fee). Course is beautiful and in great shape. Carts aren’t anything special. Very little in terms of amenities on and off the course- serves as a reminder that this is a public course. I don’t know if I’d pay $250 to play again but It was a great experience.
Beautiful course and views.
‘This place is immaculate. When people at pebble would say “you have Torrey pines in SD” now I know what they mean. I’m glad and blessed to be able to get my residents card and not have to pay visitors rates. Worth every penny. For sure will be playing there many many times more.
Amazing experience
As great as the golf was, the views and scenery were even better!! Definitely don't miss the opportunity to play golf here but enjoy the scenery here even more!!
Ahhh.. to be a San Diego resident.
This golf course isn't worth $200 plus dollars for us out-of-towners but I'm still glad I can check it off the bucket list.
I went down this year from LA as a birthday present to myself and played the North course the day before I played the South. While the North course is probably more fun, it's obvious the South was made for the big stage.. And that's exactly what you're paying for when you come here from out of town. You're paying for the US Open name. If you're lucky enough to be a resident, this place is might be golf heaven with the dirt cheap rates comparatively.
I don't really mind that system, if I'm being honest. I like that locals get a steal and folks from elsewhere have to pay a premium, but I will say, it's not worth the premium price tag. It's a course that's probably worth $140 tops, but hey... US Open.
The range is kind of awful. The practice area was closed due to COVID and it looked nice-ish, if not way too small to accommodate how busy the course is.
The views from some of the holes are breathtaking, but if I'm being honest, I feel like the North course incorporates the coastline better.
Holes 3 and 4 are the best photo ops, so you'll all still at least be smiling before the course has it's wicked way with you. If the rough is up, the course is TOUGH. If the rough is down, the course is "get"able but long. The greens were in good shape but not near as fast as I imagined they might be. The group ahead of us was two holes behind and were never approached by a marshal. That made the round longer than it needed to be.
All in all, I don't anticipate ever playing there again but I'm glad I can say I did. And if anything, watching the US Open next year will be a bit more fun knowing I've stood on those bluffs and felt the wind in my face on my 230 approach shot. :-)
Everything I dreamed of!
The south course is in phenomenal shape! The greens were punched on 4/20 based on the info on Torreys site, and they’ve come back great! Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, all perfect! Rough was cut fairly low which made my round easier! Staff treated me great! Very efficient and helpful. I’ve read a lot of reviews about poor course condition and poor staff attitude. This is couldn’t be further from the truth. Can’t wait to get back out here!
Top public course in the US - hands down!!
This is a bucket list course! I cannot believe it's a municipal course, because in my humble opinion it's in better shape than most high end private or semi-private courses. Torrey North is absolutely gorgeous. All holes are unique and scenic, even those not facing the ocean. Torrey is the gem of golf in Southern California. The conditions were absolutely perfect, from the tee boxes, to the fairways to the greens. I wish I would have driven the ball straight, I was stuck in the rough a lot, which made it very challenging. I don't see how the pros played from the rough during the Farmers Insurance, back then the rough was even taller. Even though the track seemed wide open, the fairways are actually pretty narrow if you don't want to land it in the rough. The ultimate touch was all the flyovers of F-18s and Ospreys, just gave it the ultimate American touch!
Play after the Pros
This February I was able to play right after the pros (Farmers). Conditions were perfect and course super challenging with the setup for the PGA. I highly recommend trying to play it if you are in SD after a PGA event.
South course
I was extremely disappointed in the amenities provided by this golf course. For $280 you had to pay for range balls that you had to get off the mat. The cost of anything there like water food beverages were astronomical and totally ridiculous.
I would never recommend anyone to play this course as it is not worth the money. I found the staff to be condescending and unfriendly.
I am extremely disappointed. We played a Jack Nicholas course there which was a much better shape and much nicer course for that matter at 1/4 of the price.
Please don't waste your time is definitely not worth it.
No longer Torrey South
This once great course has been turned into some monstrosity only a tour pro can play and RARELY in good condition. This City has sold out the locals to the PGA and USGA. Even if you get lucky and find this place in decent shape it is almost unplayable. If you're not playing with construction noise on every hole you'll need ear plugs for the constant bombardment of F18's flying over. You'll pay 240 bucks to walk and I guarantee it wont be worth it. The city and administrators have destroyed this once great golf course.
This course is a rip off!
I was completely excited to play this course coming from the Carolinas! I knew the price of the round due to the website so I was prepared. I wasn’t impressed at the course. There were a few beautiful holes, but the rest I can get at home in NC. What was really disappointing was the employees and noise. Granted they were getting ready for the Farmers Tourney, don’t do it on the busy day of the week that people pay good money for! I’m played courses in the Carolinas before Tourneys and didn’t experience any of that. I guess I paid for the experience.
Long Rough
A combination of recent rain and preparation for the 2020 Farmers Insurance Open made the rough fairly long and difficult to find golf balls. The fairways also seemed to have been a narrowed making the course play a bit more difficult than regular times.
Overall the course is in great shape and you really can't find a better value for SD residents on a Sat morning. We had a 6:50 tee time and finished in just about 4 hours.
Started out A little foggy
The course was in pretty good shape but for the price I don't know if I would play there again
Torrey North or South are Great Courses
I'm a local so the price is really good if you live in the San Diego City area. The views are always great at Torrey and the weather is usually perfect. The South course plays longer but still has its original greens as of 2019 even though they could be changing soon. The North has been completely redesigned and the 9's reversed but the design is perfect. The fairway bunkers are mostly out of play for the average golfer to speed things up a bit which is really good. The greens have a aeration system built in so the greens are always dry and fairly fast. Overall the courses are great and most importantly fun. Don't forget to stop at the bar and outdoor restaurant for an ice cold beer and a famous burger...
Yer right. 5 months out of the year they are setting up or tearing down the grand stands. Many people I play with from out of town are disappointed. Thank the new greenskeeper.
This guy's a baby. Torrey Pines is one of the great course in the world.
