Torrey Pines Golf Course is a public golf course owned by the city of San Diego, California. It sits on the coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the community of La Jolla south of Torrey Pines State Reserve. It has two famous golf courses, the North Course and the South Course. The South Course was designed by William F. Bell and redesigned by Rees Jones in 2001. It is now a par 72 course at 7,607 yards in length from the back tees.
Torrey Pines is the home of the PGA Tour Buick Invitational each February. It hosts the San Diego City Amateur Golf Championships every June, and the Juinor World Championships every July. It will also host the US Open in 2008.
It is named after the Torrey Pine, a rare tree that grows in the wild only in parts of the coastline in San Diego County and on Santa Rosa Island.
