South

Torrey Pines opened in 1957 with a design credited by the city to William P. Bell and completion by his son William F. Bell. Rees Jones remodeled the South Course in 2001, before its U.S. Opens in 2008 and 2021.²

The South’s preparation for major golf

The restoration moved four green structures and added ten tees, lengthening the course from just over seven thousand yards to nearly 7,600 at that stage. Those changes show how the major-championship venue evolved from the original municipal layout.¹
