Torrey Pines is a well-known golf course in La Jolla, CA that hosts the Farmers Insurance Open, a PGA tournament that is held in at the beginning of the PGA Tour season in January. Torrey Pines is also publicly owned, meaning all golfers can secure a tee time.
Some PGA Tour Players dislike Torrey Pines due to the fact that several holes appear to have the same layout, meaning players often find themselves hitting the same clubs and types of shots. In turn, players have come out and criticized the course and called for changing up the hole types from long, straight-away Par-4s, to incorporating unique Par 3s and Par 5s that could makes for a more interesting round of golf.
