Where is the Farmers Insurance Open? What to know about Torrey Pines

The PGA Tour’s West Coast swing continues this weekend with the Farmers Insurance Open.

Torrey Pines will host the tournament as it has every year since the 1960s, when it was originally known as the San Diego Open. In addition to iconic views of the Pacifc Ocean off the coastal cliffs, Torrey Pines has hosted some of the most memorable events in PGA Tour history, such as Tiger Woods’ 2008 U.S. Open win.

Here’s what to know about Torrey Pines, including its location, history and the price to play a round:

Farmers Insurance Open location: Where is Torrey Pines?

Torrey Pines Golf Course is located in La Jolla, California, a neighborhood 12 miles north of downtown San Diego. And while municipal courses are more common on the PGA Tour than one might think, the Torrey Pines website prides itself as “the premier municipal golf course owned and operated by a city.”

Sitting on the coastal cliffs with a scenic view of the Pacific Ocean, Torrey Pines takes its name from the species of tree native to the local coastline along San Diego and Santa Rosa Island.

How many courses are at Torrey Pines?

Torrey Pines has two 18-hole courses, north and south, that are both used annually to host the Farmers Insurance Open. Players split the first 36 holes between both courses before playing the final 36 on the south course.

The south course also has hosted the U.S. Open twice: in 2008, when an injured Tiger Woods outlasted Rocco Mediate in a sudden death playoff after 90 holes. And in 2021, Jon Rahm birdied the final two holes to win by one stroke.

Torrey Pines hosted the Genesis Invitational in 2025 after the tournament’s usual host, the Riviera Golf Club, was damaged in the Pacific Palisades fire.

How much does it cost to play at Torrey Pines?

Torrey Pines calls itself “surely the most accessible public facility for the die-hard enthusiast wishing to play at a world-renown facility that nearly all golfers know by name.” And while that exact claim is open for debate, playing a round at the course is certainly a bargain.

The north course is the more affordable option with weekday tee times starting at $163, or $51 for San Diego residents. Weekends and holidays at the north course creep up to $203 ($68 for locals).

Tee times for the south course, which overlooks the ocean, are a bit more expensive and start at $258 ($73 for residents) on weekdays and $322 on weekends ($90 for residents). All prices are according to the city of San Diego’s booking site and does not include the $32 advance reservation fee or any rental fees or equipment or golf carts.
