Can anyone help me tee off in San Diego?

[sonicblue]

Headed out for a business trip in a couple days and really would like to get out and play. It appears that every means I try says I can't play, but I'm hoping someone has some other tricks.... Basically, my availability is Sunday (Sept 9) morning/day (need to be finished by, say, 3pm) or Tuesday (Sept 11) afternoon (can tee off after 3pm or so).

I was hoping to try to walk on Torrey Pines, like crack of dawn Sunday, but can't even find the # to talk to the pro shop to see if that's an option. Got caught up in voice mail jail when I called up. Online tee times at other places show nothing, even for a single.

FYI, I'm staying at the Marriott Marina and, though I'll have a car, I don't want to spend a lot of time driving all over the coast. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, not that it matters much, but just wanted to follow up. I ended up playing Torrey Pines North and South as a walk-on. Beautiful courses, even with South being mostly torn up. My play, well, that's another matter.....!

hey sonic,

did you just roll up in the morning and tee off? i'm heading out there in february and am definitely going to try to play the South, and the North track if time allows...

any details you could offer on here would be greatly appreciated!

hey sonic,

Yeah, there's a large walk-on contingent there, surprisingly. I played the North on a Sunday morning - pro shop said that, with football season starting, Sunday mornings are more open - and teed off within about 45 minutes. I played the South on a Tuesday afternoon, which really isn't in the great of shape with all the prep/construction for the Open, but the North was closed off for an outing. I think I waited similarly about 30-45 minutes then, too.

I would just call ahead and make sure nothing like an outing/tournament is going on, but more likely than not, you can just show up.

we got lucky a few years ago and called in through the system to get a time. The South is in pretty bad shape almost all the time. We played it 3 weeks before the Buick and the greens were extremely bumpy.
