General Tips to play Torrey Pines Golf Course

Torrey Pines Golf Course is located on a picturesque bluff a couple hundred feet above the Pacific Ocean, which means it is extremely exposed to the ocean breeze. Caddytips recommends practicing your knock-down or "punch" shot prior to your round. Good swing thoughts for a knock-down shot include putting the ball slightly back in your stance at address and keeping your hands in front of the clubface at impact. Torrey Pines Golf Course is a coastal course layout and has a lot of water that is retained in the soil base. This means that the fairways are typically quite soft, especially when compared to other regions of the US. Roll after the shot on almost any coastal course will be minimal at best. Obviously, the trajectory and speed of a shot will have a lot to do with the roll, but on a typical drive, one shouldn't expect much more than 10-15 yards of roll. Hence, Torrey Pines Golf Course will usually play longer than the yardage on the scorecard. And remember the old adage, "If it’s breezy, swing easy." The harder you swing, the more backspin you impart and the higher the ball goes, making it much easier for the wind to affect your shot. When playing into the wind, Caddytips recommends teeing your ball a ½ inch lower to penetrate the wind, and conversely, teeing your ball a ½ inch higher when playing downwind. Most of the holes at Torrey Pines Golf Course South slope towards the ocean, so breaks will tend to hunt down the bluff towards the ocean. If you are struggling with the break direction of a putt, consider the influence of the gravitational pull down to the ocean.
