The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The more fun, more scenic and more playable of the two Torreys, with the Tom Weiskopf redesign opening up bunkering, enlarging greens and pushing more holes toward the cliffs. Many regulars say if you can only play one, the South gets the trophy but the North gets the round you actually enjoy.
Consistently praised
- A Weiskopf redesign with fewer, friendlier bunkers and larger greens.
- A coastal back nine with the cliff-top par-3 15th and uphill par-4 16th.
Worth knowing
- Some find the routing straightforward and less memorable than the views.
Golfers recommend
- Book the resident-priced muni rate if you qualify; the value gap versus the South is huge.
- Play the back nine into the afternoon light to catch the cliff holes at their best.
