Course Review and Comments

Torrey Pines South isn't as close to overrated as it used to be - before its 2008 U.S. Open revamp. But it's still overrated and overpriced for what it is.

The conditions are much better than they used to - which was horrible. Yet the Torrey North is still a more enjoyable course for regular golfers.

There's something undeniably cool though about trying to sink a putt on 18 like Tiger buried several to sink Rocco.

I have played over 100 courses and this course has it all. It is fair and not very intimidating but very difficult. The approach shots put pressure on your irons. I hit great tee shots and had a time ... more»

Scenery aside, the "improvements" to make it US OPEN "caliber" have actually deproved the course for the average golfer. Design is average at best to start with and by stretching ... more»
