How to Book a Tee Time at Torrey Pines: Everything You Need to Know
Getting a tee time at Torrey Pines is one of the most common questions in San Diego golf, and for good reason. The course is one of the most in-demand public tracks in the country. Here is exactly how the reservation process works and what your options are.
The Easiest Way to Book
The simplest approach is to request a tee time directly through torreypines.com or call a golf coordinator at 1-800-TORREY PINES, available seven days a week. The request form takes about a minute to fill out. You choose your preferred date, time, number of players, and which course you want, and a coordinator handles the rest from there. If you want to request multiple dates, the online form lets you click more than one day at once.
North Course, South Course, or Both
You can request the North Course, the South Course, or leave it open to either. If you are flexible on which course you play, selecting “North or South” gives the team the best chance of finding you a spot. The South Course books faster and tends to have more limited availability, so the more flexibility you can offer on timing and course selection, the better your chances.
What If Torrey Pines Is Full
This is where the service earns its value. If Torrey Pines does not have availability on your requested date, the team can book you a discounted tee time at one of more than 25 of San Diego’s best courses, including Aviara, Coronado, The Crossings at Carlsbad, Rancho Bernardo Inn, Riverwalk, Steele Canyon, and access to private clubs. You are not left scrambling on your own. You get a real alternative with a real coordinator handling the booking.
The Waitlist
If your heart is set on Torrey Pines and nothing else will do, the waitlist is worth using. Tee times open up regularly as reservations change, and the team will notify you directly if something becomes available on your requested date. It is a genuinely useful option for flexible travelers who can move their schedule around a last-minute opening.
Golf Trips and Full Packages
For groups, bachelor parties, or anyone building a multi-day San Diego golf trip, the service goes well beyond a single tee time. The team can arrange tee times across multiple courses, lodging, transportation, and access to private clubs, all under one booking. The Stay and Play packages with the Hilton are a particularly good option for out-of-town visitors who want accommodation and Torrey Pines access combined into a single arrangement.
Getting on the Course
The bottom line is that Torrey Pines is a public course and it is accessible to anyone willing to plan ahead. The tee time reservation service exists to take the uncertainty out of that process. Whether you want the South Course on a specific Saturday morning or just want to play somewhere great in San Diego on a flexible schedule, the process starts with a single request form or a phone call.
