Designed by William Bell, Sr. in 1957. Both Torrey Pines
North & South courses are home of the Buick Invitational PGA Golf
Tournament played in the first week of February. Both 18-hole courses (North
and South are very scenic with beautiful ocean views). Torrey Pines signature
hole is located on the North course on hole #6. The South course is the more
challenging of the two and hosts the final round of the Buick
Invitational.
