Torrey Pines Golf Course is a 36-hole municipal golf facility in La Jolla. The course sits on the coastal cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the community of La Jolla, just south of Torrey Pines State Reserve. Opened in 1957, it was built on the site of Camp Callan, a U.S. Army installation during World War II. Torrey Pines has two 18-hole golf courses, North and South, both designed by William Francis Bell. The course is named after the Torrey pine, a rare tree that grows in the wild only along a local stretch of the coastline in San Diego County and on Santa Rosa Island.
