PGA National boasts, “The Bear Trap.”
Innisbrook Copperhead features, “The Snake Pit” and Quail Hollow, “The Green Mile.”
Torrey Pines North Course Nos. 2, 3 and 4? That's up to you!
In 2016, Tom Weiskopf, the 1968 Andy Williams-San Diego Open (Torrey Pines) winner, completed a $12.6 million renovation, and the pros are quickly discovering the North is no longer the South’s little brother. Thanks to the award-winning alterations, the North Course is all grown up and has some real teeth to it.
In fact, during the 2018 Wells Fargo Championship telecast, the broadcast team noted holes 2, 3 and 4 at Torrey Pines North Course ranked the
third-most difficult three-hole stretch on the PGA Tour this season.
Because of this distinction, we feel an appropriate name is required, and we want your input!
As the North Course's reputation continues to grow, we want you to be a part of history and help us name our difficult three-hole stretch. As extra incentive, we'll give the winner a complimentary foursome of golf on the North Course with two free carts and an advance booking in the process!
The name could be related to the Pacific Ocean, the bluffs, the San Diego weather, even Tom Weiskopf himself! We're looking for something unique, catchy and clever that captures the essence of Torrey Pines.
