Do seniors get discounted golf at San Diego municipal courses?
Yes, but the published discount is a senior resident rate for qualifying City of San Diego residents age 62 or older. Turning 62 alone does not qualify every golfer for the lower price.
No separate lower nonresident senior rate was verified. The discount is primarily a weekday resident benefit, and the standard City resident eligibility and check-in rules still apply. Last verified: August 24, 2026.

Booking and resident rules
There is no separate senior booking window. Use the standard City resident booking rules for Torrey Pines, Balboa Park, and Mission Bay, including the applicable advance-reservation fees and Resident ID Card requirements.
The senior category changes the eligible green fee; it does not create priority access or a separate senior tee sheet.
