Thinking About Living in Torrey Pines Golf Course?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Torrey Pines Golf Course and the surrounding Coastal San Diego / La Jolla / Coronado golf market.
Torrey Pines Golf Course sits on the coastal bluffs of La Jolla within the City of San Diego's Torrey Pines park complex, and is composed of two 18-hole courses -- North and South -- both owned and operated by the City. What makes it exceptional for a public municipal facility is its tournament pedigree: the PGA Tour's San Diego stop (through its many title-sponsor names, now the Farmers Insurance Open) has been played here continuously since 1968, and the South Course has hosted the U.S. Open twice, in 2008 (won by Tiger Woods in a playoff over Rocco Mediate) and 2021 (won by Jon Rahm).
Golf & Course
The South Course is the tournament venue, playing to roughly 7,698 yards for PGA Tour setup -- among the longest courses on the Tour's regular calendar. In the Farmers Insurance Open's current format, the field splits the first 36 holes between the North and South courses before finishing the final two rounds on the South Course alone.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Torrey Pines is fully public: any golfer can book a tee time online or by phone, with no club membership, application, or waitlist involved. City of San Diego residents qualify for a discounted green-fee tier by obtaining a City Resident Golf ID Card, but this discount is available to any San Diego resident regardless of address or neighborhood -- it is a municipal residency benefit, not a golf-club or homeowner privilege tied to any specific property.
Location & Surrounding Area
Torrey Pines sits on the coastal bluffs at the northern edge of La Jolla, within San Diego's Torrey Pines park area, adjacent to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve.
