Torrey Pines Golf Course
Located in La Jolla, Torrey Pines Golf Course is situated on cliffs that tower above the Pacific Ocean. Golfers can enjoy the stunning coastline views and deep ravines while they embark on classic championship golf holes. Recognized as the premier municipal golf course owned and operated by a city, this well-known course is the host of the PGA TOUR's Farmers Insurance Open event.
Torrey Pines gain widespread recognition within the golf community during the 2008 U.S. Open Championship, when under the typically brutal conditions of the tournament, injured and hobbling Tiger Woods defeated Rocco Mediate during their sudden death playoff after 90 grueling holes of exciting golf.
