I played in the first group at 0615. Our foursome finished in 3hrs. 50min. walking. I've played in the late morning and it takes 41/2 hours as the course fills up. The fairways and greens are in the best shape I've seen in years. Maybe due to the 5-year Golf Enterprise experiment; the City of San Diego needs more tourist tax dollars and they're putting more maintenance into this municipal course and ignoring it's step sister Balboa Golf Course. If you do plan to play Torrey north or south, bring your "straight-ball driver" because the bermuda rough, that is slightly higher than a golf ball, and not worthy of U.S.Open height, will eat you up! The course is in excellent shape, did I mention the greens, not super fast and not slow either.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Best course in the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
