How non-resident booking works

Start with the availability above, then follow the Book link to the official City reservation system. North and South use the same City booking destination, but their tee times and prices remain separate. The City's published daily limit is two tee times and eight players per reservation holder.

For non-residents, the $50 booking fee is charged per player and is separate from the green fee. The booking fee is nonrefundable and does not reduce the green fee due on the day of play. Cart and club rental charges are also separate.

Tips for finding an available tee time

  1. Use the full 90-day window.Start with broad dates before narrowing the trip around one morning or weekend.
  2. Search North and South together.Each course has separate inventory. Choosing either course gives you more opportunities than targeting only one.
  3. Stay flexible on time of day.Afternoon, Twilight, and nine-hole products can appear separately from standard 18-hole morning rounds.
  4. Try the actual group size—and fewer players.A time may have room for one or two golfers without having enough capacity for a foursome.
  5. Recheck close to the date.Availability changes as reservations change. A fresh opening can appear after an earlier search showed nothing.
  6. Confirm promptly on the official site.Play Golf SD does not hold a slot, so verify the time, price, holes, and player count before making plans.

North or South: which gives you the better chance?

There is no fixed promise that one course will be available. The South Course carries the championship profile many visitors target, while the North Course is a distinct course with its own inventory and pricing. If playing Torrey Pines matters more than playing one specific layout, search both first.

Use the Torrey Pines North versus South guide when course choice matters as much as availability.

Know the cost before reserving

North and South publish different non-resident standard and Twilight green fees, with separate weekday and weekend/holiday pricing. Rather than mixing those rates into the availability list, use the source-backed Torrey Pines rates and booking-fee guidebefore completing a reservation.
