Torrey Pines - North Course

About Torrey Pines - North Course

Torrey Pines North Course, located alongside its more famous sibling in La Jolla, California, offers a slightly more forgiving but equally scenic golf experience. Originally designed by William F. Bell and later renovated by Tom Weiskopf in 2016, the North Course features a more player-friendly layout with wider fairways and fewer bunkers, appealing to both amateurs and professionals. At just over 7,200 yards from the back tees, the course emphasizes strategic play over sheer power and rewards accuracy and smart shot placement. With stunning ocean views, particularly on the front nine, the North Course provides a memorable round in a spectacular coastal setting. The North Course serves as a co-host for the annual PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open, sharing duties with the South Course during the tournament's opening rounds. While considered more approachable, the North still presents its own set of challenges, including tricky greens and coastal winds that can quickly change the character of a hole. The 2016 redesign enhanced playability while preserving the course’s natural charm and panoramic vistas. Loved by locals and tourists alike, Torrey Pines North continues to be a standout public course, combining accessibility with professional-level quality in one of golf’s most scenic locations.
