Custom Torrey Pines — North Course artwork, made to order — a hand-styled map of the course, a painting-style print of your favorite hole, or a finished photo from your round.
Created from actual data — every tee, fairway, bunker, and green, all in vivid detail.
Before it was a golf course, the mesa above La Jolla was Camp Callan, a World War II Army post training anti-aircraft gunners on land leased from the City of San Diego. When the city reclaimed the site in the 1950s, it turned to architect William P. Bell to lay out a full 36 holes on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific. Bell died in 1953 before the work was finished, and it fell to his son, William F. Bell, to complete both courses. The North and South opened together in 1957 as municipal golf, open to the public from day one.
From the start, the North was built as the approachable half of the pair — shorter, gentler, more forgiving than the South Course that would go on to host U.S. Opens. That was by design: San Diego needed a muni that ordinary golfers could actually enjoy, not just a championship gauntlet. For decades it played that role quietly, a scenic, walkable course in the shadow of its more famous sibling.
In 2016, architect Tom Weiskopf led a nine-month, $12.6 million renovation that reshaped the North without abandoning its purpose. He reversed the nines so a round now finishes toward the ocean, cut the number of bunkers from sixty to forty-two, and enlarged the greens from an average of roughly 4,500 square feet to about 6,000 — changes aimed squarely at pace of play and everyday enjoyment, even as the course remained capable of hosting Tour golf.
That dual identity is still the North's story. It shares the same bluffs, the same Torrey pines — a tree species native to almost nowhere else on Earth — and the same ocean light as the South, but at a scale built for the golfer with a tee time on a Tuesday morning, not just the players chasing a trophy. Every January it does both jobs at once, opening the Farmers Insurance Open before handing the stage to the South for the weekend.
