How the booking window works
Torrey Pines tee times are released on a rolling advance window through the City of San Diego's official reservation system, and San Diego residents get earlier access than visitors.
The exact number of days and release timing are set by the City and can change - always confirm the current rules on the official Torrey Pines page before you plan around them.
What happens at release
When a new date opens, the most desirable times - early South Course weekend slots especially - can disappear within minutes.
If you are targeting release day, be logged into the official system in advance and know exactly which date, course, and group size you want.
The cancellation game
For everyone who misses release day, cancellations are the real opportunity. Plans change constantly at a course this in demand, and times reappear at unpredictable hours.
This is where recently checked availability helps: Play Golf SD shows what was open at supported courses when last checked, so you can spot a returned Torrey time without refreshing the booking site all day. When one appears, book it on the official portal - nothing is held for you.
