Hole Name
From The Tee Favor left side of fairway on tee shot to leave an open look at the green. A good tee shot will leave a mid to long iron approach to green protected by two green side bunkers.
From The Fairway Don’t go long on your approach, as it will leave you a difficult pitch to get up and down. A par on this hole is a great way to start your round.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Overlooking La Jolla, South Course’s signature Par 3, is the most picturesque of all the Par 3’s on the course. Club selection is of utmost importance as the hole can play as short as a 9 iron, and as long as a hybrid.
From The Fairway Playing downhill, a good tee shot will leave you middle of green.
On The Green Avoid going long here as it will leave you a very difficult pitch to get up and down.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Grip it and rip it! What you see is what you get with this straight Par 5. The par 5 is reachable by only the longest hitters,
From The Fairway Most players must hit the fairway from the tee to allow an aggressive lay up, which in turn will allow an accurate third shot and a chance to make birdie.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee The best way to start the second nine with a birdie is to hit left center of the fairway from the tee, then hit a short iron to a sloping green that is guarded by bunkers on the front left and right.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee Club selection is key on this long downhill Par 3. This par 3 usually plays several yards longer than its official yardage because it plays into and across the prevailing wind.
From The Fairway Don’t look for many approach shots to come to rest in the center of the green, as a severe slope will filter shots from right to left.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee A generous fairway invites players to be aggressive off the tee. Anything less than a well-struck drive won’t allow this green to be reached in two.
From The Fairway The ideal position for those who miss the green is short, since the green, which runs some 35 yards deep, is receptive to uphill chip shots

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee A new tee has been added, back and to the left, calling for a drive of at least 240 yards to carry the canyon
From The Fairway players choosing to go for the green in two will need to carry the second shot some 260 yards as the green is elevated and protected by bunkers and rough in front.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee With the canyon running all along the left of the fairway, players will be sure to play the ball safely out to the right, probably with a fairway wood.
From The Fairway The most difficult hole location will be back right, but any shots missed long could result in bogey or worse, as there are hazards just off the back of the green.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Players who shape their shots will not find much room here. Eucalyptus trees protect both sides of this tight fairway.
From The Fairway Shots coming from the right had better land softly if a player wants to have putter in hand for his third shot.
On The Green the slightly uphill green slopes aggressively from right to left

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Two teeing grounds will have a dramatic effect on how this hole is played. The shorter tee, to the left, brings two greenside bunkers into play, but players can aim right and ride the prevailing breeze.
From The Fairway The front of the green is open from the longer tee, but the wind can complicate the angle.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee A high draw from the tee will take the fairway bunker on the right, 275 yards to the front of it, out of play.
From The Fairway That will leave a middle-to-short-iron approach to an elevated, wide, and severely undulating green protected by two bunkers in front.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee The closing hole is a great par 5 – basically straight but with a twist in the drive zone – on which anything can happen. Just ask Bruce Devlin.
From The Fairway in 1975 Andy Williams San Diego Open, Devlin took six hacks to get his ball out of the water in front of the green on his way to making a 10
