Torrey Pines walkup

[doublesuited77]

i read somewhere that Torrey pines doesn't take tee times before 7:30 AM and early tee times are just reserved for walk-ups. Anyone know how early you need to get there to have a realistic shot at getting on the course?

You need to call M&M; Tee Times, you pay them a premium for an awesome time.

Sux to pay the premium but I played cause of them one year the Monday after the Buick and the course was brutally hard. LOst a ton of balls that just trickled in the rough, they just disappear.

Wow, San Diego residents have it good. $43 on the weekend for the north course and $49 for the south. It's hard to play for that cheap here in Austin at the decent courses...

I didn't realize till this weekend that Torrey Pines was even a public course.
It is now defenitely on my must play list.

on your long drive down from WA, you could play Chambers Bay, detour west a few hours to hit up the Bandon courses, hop onto Harding in SF, Pasatiempo in Santa Cruz, and finish off at Torrey. Unfortunately if you make that dream trip Torrey may be the least amazing.

granted i'm sure i'm forgetting a few decent public tracks along the way but that ain't a bad 10 days of golf there...that IS what you had in mind, right SG? hehe

That would be an amazing trip!

I am actually planning on playing Chambers Bay this spring, I have heard good things.

I believe it's before 9AM. Tee times from sunrise to 9AM are reserved for San Diego resident walk ons.

I found the Torrey Pines experience dissapointing. Muni golf conditions and amenities for a premium golf price. But the views are outstanding, if you get a sunny day. I played half my round in the fog.

Chambers Bay is a gem. Play Bayonet in the Monterey area, 1/4 the price of Pebble and easier to get a time.
