Plan your round at Torrey Pines – South Course

Accuracy matters more than length off the first tee. Favor the left side of the fairway for the best angle into a slightly uphill green with bunkers on both sides, and don't go long.

A shorter par 4 where many players hit a fairway wood or hybrid to the left side. A miss right finds a grove of Torrey pines and a blind approach; two big bunkers guard the green.

The signature par 3 plays downhill toward the ocean with views of La Jolla. The two-tiered green slopes sharply left to right, so distance control is key and a long miss leaves a hard recovery.

A long par 4 along the clifftop; pulled or hooked shots can be lost over the cliffs on the left. Avoid the fairway bunkers on the right, and on the approach aim right of the green and let the contours feed the ball toward the middle, since a bunker guards the left.

The drive has to carry a rise and split fairway bunkers on both sides. The green is narrow and sloping, with two greenside bunkers waiting for anything off line.

The first par 5 and a scoring chance. Favor the right side of the dogleg to stay clear of the fairway bunkers on the left; a layup leaves a wedge into a two-tiered green guarded by two bunkers.

The card's number 1 handicap hole doglegs right. Favor the left side off the tee for the best angle into an elevated green that slopes hard from back to front, with a big bunker on the right and tight collection areas around it. Don't go long.

An uphill par 3 to a two-tiered green. Take enough club to clear the large front bunker and try to finish on the same tier as the flag.

A long, straightaway par 5 lined with fairway bunkers. Most players drive to the fairway, lay up to a comfortable distance, and rely on an accurate third shot into a green ringed by more sand.

The back nine opens with a good chance. A drive to the left-center of the fairway leaves a short iron to a sloping green with bunkers front left and front right.

A downhill par 3 that often plays longer than its yardage because of the prevailing wind. The undulating green feeds shots from right to left.

A long par 4 with a generous fairway. Only a good drive gives a chance to reach in two; if you miss the green, short is the best place to be for an uphill chip onto the deep green.

A par 5 whose back tee requires a carry over a canyon. Going for the elevated green in two means a long carry past bunkers and thick rough, so laying up is the conservative play.

A canyon runs down the left, so most players favor the right side, often with a fairway wood. There are no fairway bunkers, but eucalyptus trees squeeze the landing area, and the green slopes sharply right to left.

A tight par 4 with eucalyptus trees lining both sides of a narrow fairway. The green sits slightly uphill and slopes sharply right to left, so an approach from the right needs to land softly.

A long par 3 toward the ocean that plays differently from each tee. From the forward tees two greenside bunkers come into play; the wind is often the deciding factor, so adjust your club to the conditions.

A high draw off the tee stays clear of the fairway bunkers on the right, while a canyon runs down the left. The elevated green is wide but heavily contoured, with bunkers across the front.

The closing par 5 bends gently toward a green guarded by a pond known as Devlin's Billabong. Going for it in two brings the water into play, and even a wedge third can spin back into the pond, so pick your landing spot carefully.
