Torrey Pines Golf Course
Maintenance Updates

In preparation for the upcoming U.S. Open in June, the North Course is currently undergoing additional maintenance which may impact playing conditions and access. As of Feb. 3, 2021, the North Course will have a temporary tee on Hole #1, accompanied by a temporary green on Hole #18.

Beginning April 1, 2021, guests will NOT be able to reserve a tee time on the North Course using our online reservation system. For those wishing to reserve a tee time on the North Course after April 1, 2021, please call the advance reservation line at 877-581-7171 for additional information. 

In the Spring and Fall of each year, Torrey Pines will close briefly to conduct important maintenance to keep both North and South courses in world class conditions. Maintenance includes:

Aerficiation

Each golf course must undergo a biannual aerification process in which small holes are inserted into each playing surface in order to maintain the continued health of the turfgrass.

Overseeding

To maintain world-class conditioning throughout the winter months at Torrey Pines, both golf courses undergo a wall-to-wall process of installing perennial ryegrass seed across all tee boxes, fairways, roughs and approaches. This process involves drying down the summer grasses for a period of two to three weeks prior to the overseeding date. 

Players can expect the surfaces to appear brown in color, yet play firm and fast during this period. Cart-path-only rules are in effect through the overseeding process until further notice.

^{*Dates are tentative and subject to change.}
