This is such a beautiful venue! To many golfers, Torrey Pines GC is a sizable slice of heaven, in Torrey Pines, CA. It's also close to La Jolla Cove- another gorgeous point of interest, in San Diego County.

The fairways, as well as all putting surfaces, are so green, at Torrey Pines, plus they're pristine- lovingly manicured, by greenskeepers who care. I could tell this, from watching a recent PGA Tour event, hosted at Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course, but also from my impressive vantage point, behind the course.

I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunsets, I've ever seen, peering over a chain-link fence & onto the natural green carpet of Torrey Pines. It was a multi-dimensional sunset, with shifting red, yellow, gold & purple colors. Some of these pictures, I got by zooming my camera lens through the Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course chain link boundary fence.

Oh yeah...I almost forgot this tidbit. From time to time, your spirit will be lifted, (smirk, 😉) watching all the colorful paragliders, riding the wind currents, controlled by brave dangling humans. Silently, they whisk past a glowing sun, at the right time of day, provided May Gray, or June Gloom will allow you to see this. The only days you won't see them up there, will be weather- related, no doubt. There'll be no paragliders on super windy days, rainy days, foggy days, plus high pressure days, when wind cannot penetrate inward, from the ocean. I was at the Gliderport, on one of these days & it felt weird, almost eerie! The only thing flying on that day were several Birds of Prey, controlled by a birding group, & lots of noisy R/C airplanes, zinging through the air, like giant mosquitos! Old school hang gliders & paragliders launch off a cliff, at Torrey Pines Gliderport, immediately south of Torrey Pines Golf Course.

Why has it taken me so long to come, & to bask in the green glory of Torrey Pines Golf Course, you ask. Currently, I'm just not a golfer, but do enjoy watching Pro Golf, on TV, & in another life, I did enjoy playing a round, or 2.

I'm not sure about the price, per round here. A friend once told me, you get a discounted golf rate, if you're a San Diego citizen.

If you do indeed come & golf Torrey Pines, before you even tee up your first ball, you've already won. You'll being standing at #1 Teebox, taking in one of the most scenic ocean-hugging golf courses, in all of California...right up there, with Pebble Beach Golf Links.
