Dress code is pretty lax, and fivesomes are permitted. (We were behind a fivesome during my round on the South, which took about 4:40.) That said, the staff at Torrey Pines was exceedingly friendly, which can also be said for much of the tourist and service industry around San Diego.

If you're a golf fan, or you've ever been near golf fans, you probably recognize the name of Torrey Pines. It sits on the coastal cliffs of La Jolla, and as you'd probably imagine, it's gorgeous. This isn't Pebble Beach though.
The South course is one of the toughest golf courses you will ever play. It, of course, hosted the US Open in 2008 and will again in 2021. It is also used for three of the four rounds of the PGA Tour's annual Farmers Open, fka Buick Invitational, Andy Williams Open, San Diego Open, and a million other names.

Reviews for Torrey Pines (South) Description: Torrey Pines is situated on cliff tops some 20 minutes to the north of San Diego and is one of the best municipal golf facilities in the USA. Written by: Top100 Aggregated Rating Rating: 6.7 out of 10 Reviews: 20.
Most tee times are only available via a telephone tee time lottery which takes place every day at 7.00 p.m. for tee times 7 days ahead. In theory, all phones in the world have an equal chance of a “lucky ring" and a confirmed tee time in this unique Torrey Pines lottery.
Torrey Pines succeeds because of its location - the greater San Diego area. The year round weather is almost always cooperative and having a metro base population that clearly is interested in golf helps matters considerably. It also helps that Torrey Pines has the logistics to stage major events.
The green has three bunkers on the right beginning about 20 yards short of the green while there are two on the left starting about 15 yards short of the green. There is a bunker at the rear. The green is shallow and has some good inner contouring.
Rees Jones then completely rejuvenated the South course in 2001 at a cost of $3.5 million, moving four greens, almost doubling the number of bunkers and adding ten new tees, taking the championship yardage to a staggering 7,607 yards.
As pointed out in other reviews, there is a high degree of redundancy at Torrey Pines South, designed first by William Bell, touched by others, but basically redone by Rees Jones. Mr. Jones has built several wonderful courses, but they do all reflect a similar style in terms of bunkering and green shapes.
Television exposure has helped a good number of courses gain wide global visibility. The South Course at Torrey Pines is one of the leading beneficiaries. There's little doubt golfers throughout the globe will long remember the incredible putt Tiger Woods holed at the 72nd hole of the '08 US Open to tie Rocco Mediate. The event was indeed memorable but the totality of compelling architecture at the South is lacking.
