How far in advance can you make a tee time?
Tee times can be made up to 90 days in advance, and if you're hoping to play on the weekend, we'd recommend calling ahead as much as you can. (That said, it's not as tough of a tee time to get as Bethpage Black or St. Andrews .) Don't expect dynamic pricing or last-minute deals like most other courses around San Diego.
Where is Bethpage State Park?
LA JOLLA, Calif. — New York's 90-hole Bethpage State Park on Long Island and San Diego's 36-hole Torrey Pines Golf Course make strong cases as the two jewels of municipal golf in the United States. Both work triple-duty as a place for local residents, bucket-list chasing tourists and as venues for the best professional tournaments in golf.

What is San Diego known for?
San Diego is well known for its luxury golf and spa resorts, so thanks to properties such as the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, Park Hyatt Aviara and Omni La Costa, expectations for visitors are very high when it comes to service, conditions and amenities.
No. 1
This isn’t the most difficult hole on the course, but it ranks among the most difficult hardest opening holes anywhere on the PGA Tour. In 2008, Tiger Woods played the other 17 holes in 7-under and No. 1 in 6-over after recording three double bogeys.
No. 2
The shortest par-4 on the course offers a risk-reward proposition off the tee. Do you bomb it over the bunkers and get the roll down the hill, or lay back with an iron or hybrid to avoid the trouble? Staying below the hole is imperative on a radically sloped green. Go long? Good luck.
No. 3
In the redesign before 2008, Rees Jones moved the green farther out onto the bluff, making it the most picturesque hole on the South Course with La Jolla in the distance. The USGA is expected to use multiple tee boxes and it could play as short as 130 yards, putting a premium on club selection.
No. 4
The only hole that runs completely along the ocean. There are fairway bunkers only on the right because the cliffs penalize wayward balls on the left. A popular safety spot on approach shots is short right of the narrow green, which was reconfigured in the redesign.
No. 5
It’s back to the formula of bunkers on either side of the fairway and green, demanding precision on first and second shots. The green is deceptively narrow, but otherwise it’s a fairly straightforward hole and a welcome respite between the fourth and sixth. In 2008, it had more birdies than any other par 4 on the front nine.
No. 6
This is a reachable, downwind par 5 during the Farmers Insurance Open that regularly ranks as the easiest hole with a scoring average around 4.5, meaning half the field birdies it as a par 5. That’s too easy for a U.S. Open, so they make it a par 4 but only shorten it by 45 yards.
No. 7
The No. 1 handicap hole on the public scorecard, largely because it plays only slightly shorter than the tournament tees. It is where the 19-hole playoff ended in 2008, after Rocco Mediate hit into the left fairway bunker and bogeyed.

Why make changes?
