Torrey Pines Golf Course Wiki Information
Torrey Pines Golf Course
is a municipal public golf course owned by the city of San Diego, California. It sits on the coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the community of La Jolla south of Torrey Pines State Reserve. It has two famous golf courses, the North Course and the South Course. The South Course was designed by William F. Bell and redesigned by Rees Jones in 2001. It is now a par 72 course at in length from the back tees.
Much like Bethpage Black on Long Island, Torrey Pines boasts a unique method to ensure continued public access to the course. On weekends, individuals arrive as early as 6 p.m. the prior night to get in line for the first come / first serve tee times that are given out from sunrise till the first reservations at 7:30 a.m..
Torrey Pines is the home of the PGA Tour Buick Invitational each year in January or February. It hosts the San Diego City Amateur Golf Championships every June, and the Junior World Golf Championships every July and hosted the 2008 U.S. Open Golf Championship.
Torrey Pines is the featured golf course in the 1990 computer game Links: The Challenge of Golf
by Access Software (now Indie Built) as well as in Microsoft Golf 2.0 by Microsoft.
It is named after the Torrey Pine, a rare tree that grows in the wild only in parts of the coastline in San Diego County and on Santa Rosa Island.
Tiger Woods won the 2008 U.S. Open Golf Championship over Rocco Mediate in a sudden death playoff on the seventh hole with a par over Rocco Mediate's bogey after playing an eighteen hole playoff, which they finished with even par 71's. Tiger Woods had to birdie the 72nd hole in order to force the playoff and again in the playoff on the 90th hole in order to reach sudden death; further, both players finished the tournament at 283, which was one under par. This was Tiger Woods third U.S. Open victory, and his fourteenth major win for his career, which puts him four behind Jack Nicklaus in men's major golf championships. This was on the South Course.
