A threesome of employees (as confirmed by a pro shop employee who came out to address the…read moresituation) had the tee time immediately before 5:00 p.m. on Friday 6/12/26 and spent the round filming every shot. They repeatedly set up tripods and staked a phone-mount pole directly into the greens while recording, creating unnecessary delays throughout the course. They also drove their carts up to or onto the grass of almost every tee box. When a pro shop employee came out, no corrective action was taken. Instead, our group and the groups behind us were told, "They're employees here, so they're alright and know what they're doing." I have worked with multiple golf courses and remain active in the golf industry. At every facility where I have been, employees who are given the privilege of playing the course are held to a higher standard than guests, not a lower one. They are expected to respect course, maintain pace of play, and set a positive example for customers. It was disappointing to see employees apparently given special treatment while engaging in conduct that would not be tolerated from paying guests and that negatively affected multiple groups on the course.

Little gem of a course at Balboa Park. This is the oldest muni course in San Diego at nearly 100…read moreyears old and the clubhouse is a San Diego City Historic Landmark. The moment you step into the clubhouse you realize the vast history of the location. For example, some parts are in need of major repair, but there are also nearly 100 years of player trophies and accomplishments on display in a large lobby time has not touched (nor cleaners, painters, renovators...but I digress). Don't miss the unbeatable hilltop views out the back of hole 1 and hole 18 side-by-side with the cityscape in the background. The same view can be seen from the restrooms, giving this place the best view from the loo award. I played the regulation 18 (they also have a nine hole executive course). The course was in good to very good condition. It's a fun, unique track and there are some very narrow holes, but fair enough because they are shorter. Accuracy off the tee is favored over length on most of the holes. There are also a few challenging elevation changes, but not many blind approach shots, which I don't think anyone enjoys. It's a fun track that keeps you on your toes. Many holes are lined by canyons so errant shots on those will be lost. Another unique aspect is that Balboa Park sits under the landing path of the airport. I tried to catch an airplane in my photos and it was pretty easy to in most all of them. Pace of play was fine at 4.5 hours on a weekday afternoon. Staff was friendly, but they deal with a lot of people so I could see how things could go sideways as some reviews have mentioned. Just exercise the golden rule. If you play golf and live in San Diego, I say this is a must play at least once. I'll be back again when I'm in the right mood.

The course is in phenomenal condition, with beautifully maintained fairways, immaculate greens, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean throughout the round. Watching the hang gliders soar overhead while you're playing makes the experience even more memorable. The South Course is definitely challenging, but that's part of what makes it so much fun. You can tell you're playing on a course that's hosted major championships, yet it's still a public course that anyone can experience. Every hole feels unique, and you'll find yourself stopping more than once just to take in the scenery. After the round, we ate at The Grill at Torrey Pines overlooking the course. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and relaxing on the patio with those incredible golf course views was the perfect way to end the day. The Grill at Torrey Pines is absolutely worth checking out if you're playing a round. (Wish I took more photos) Whether you're a serious golfer or just love visiting iconic courses, Torrey Pines is an unforgettable experience. It's easy to see why golfers from around the world make the trip. We'll definitely be back!

It pains me so much to leave this review…read more Extremely disappointed by how a battery assault incident was handled by the Torrey Pines supervisor Jack. Torrey Pines has been my favorite golf course in San Diego. As a San Diego resident, I could not be more disappointed by what happened today and, especially, by how the situation was handled by the Torrey Pines supervisor, Jack. During my round, another player became involved in a heated disagreement with us. The situation escalated, and he physically assaulted me with his putter, forcefully striking me in the chest. I did not retaliate. I left the situation and called 911 to report that I had been assaulted. Police responded, along with emergency personnel, and documented the incident. The responding officer provided me with a police report number and told me that I was being treated as the victim of a misdemeanor assault and battery. Afterward, I went to the pro shop because I wanted to understand what action the course would take regarding the other player. I was not asking for anything unreasonable. I simply wanted to know whether the player would be removed from the course after a physical assault had been reported. Unfortunately, my experience with the supervisor, Jack, was extremely disappointing. I initially spoke with him at the pro shop, and he told me that the course had not yet made a decision and that he would get back to me. I later called the pro shop twice to follow up (1 got through) because I had not heard anything. I was simply trying to understand what action, if any, the course was taking regarding the other player. Instead of addressing that question, Jack told me that I was being "pushy" and accused me of "harassing" him. He also brought up the number of police officers and emergency personnel who had responded, as though that was something I had requested or controlled. I had simply called 911 to report that I had been assaulted by a single individual ; I had no control over how the police or emergency services chose to respond. The conversation ultimately ended with Jack telling me that he did not want to "deal with this anymore" and hanging up the phone on me. I understand that there may be conflicting accounts of an incident and that management may need to follow a process before making a decision. I also understand that the course may not be able to disclose every detail of its decision-making process. What I found deeply disappointing was the lack of support and the way I felt my concerns were dismissed after I had reported being physically assaulted. I've attached a screenshot showing my two calls to the pro shop, made simply to follow up on what decision the course had made regarding the other player. For doing so, I was accused of "harassing" the supervisor. Torrey Pines is a City of San Diego municipal golf course, and I expected a much more professional and supportive response from the management of a public facility. This is especially disappointing because Torrey Pines was previously my favorite course in San Diego. After this experience, I no longer feel comfortable returning.

Chris Smeal was my sons coach in the early to mid-2000's and introduced him to Future Champions…read moreGolf. Chris is an outstanding youth coach and has developed some outstanding players. My son enjoyed the tournament play and his time with Future Champions Golf helped him with life skills that has contributed to his success today. He still plays in tournaments but they are charity tournaments in which he supports causes and has a good time. Still manages to drive the ball over 300 yards and score in the 70's with limited play. We were lucky to have him participate in this program in the early days. We still follow Chris on social media and are impressed on how this program has developed into one of the premier youth golf programs in the nation. Good job Chris and hats off to Future Champions Golf for developing future leaders of tomorrow. Five stars all-the-way!

They provide water and a pizza lunch when you join the camps. You get a full days worth on the driving range, chipping and putting as well. The camps have about 10-12 kids (boys and girls).

A cool thing about Coach Jason is that he is also great with kids- he has been coaching my 8 year old who is not interested in sports at all. Jason shows a LOT of patience and keeps it for fun for my boy. It's been a wonderful experience.
