Check the yardage book: Torrey Pines South Course for the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour

StrackaLine offers hole-by-hole maps for Torrey Pines’ South Course, site of the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour.

Torrey Pines’ South Course in San Diego – the main site of the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour – was designed by the father-son duo of William P. Bell and William F. Bell and opened in 1957. The layout was extensively renovated by Rees Jones in 2001, and he made later refinements in 2019.

The first two rounds of the Farmers (Wednesday and Thursday) will be split between Torrey Pines’ North and South courses, with the final two rounds (Friday and Saturday) on the South after the field is cut. In addition, the South course will host the final round of the APGA Tour Farmers Insurance Invitational on Sunday.

The South ranks No. 4 in California on Golfweek’s Best list of public-access courses in each state, and it ranks No. 103 on Golfweek’s Best list of all classic courses built in the U.S. before 1960. The North Course ranks No. 10 among California’s public-access tracks.

The South will play to 7,765 yards with a par of 72, while the North goes to 7,258 yards, also with a par of 72.

PGA West’s Pete Dye Stadium Course in La Quinta, California – one of three courses used for the PGA Tour’s 2023 The American Express – opened in 1986 with a design by the legendary architect whose name appears in the layout’s title.

The other two courses used in the first three rounds are La Quinta Country Club (7,060 yards, par 72) and PGA West’s Nicklaus Tournament Course (7,147 yards, par 72). All the players have one round on each course before the cut is made for Sunday’s final round.

Check the yardage book: Waialae Country Club for the PGA Tour’s 2023 Sony Open in Hawaii

StrackaLine offers hole-by-hole maps for Waialae Country Club and this week’s Sony Open in Hawaii.

Waialae Country Club in Honolulu, site of the 2023 Sony Open in Hawaii, originally was designed by famed golden-era architect Seth Raynor and opened in 1927.

After the PGA Tour started its year at the mountainous Kapalua Plantation Course last week, Waialae offers a much flatter test – the course features only about 10 feet of elevation changes – while still providing ocean views to get many of us stuck on the mainland tuning in.

The private course alongside Kāhala Beach has undergone multiple reconstructions, mostly in the 1960s as a hotel was added to the property. Robert Trent Jones Sr., Desmond Muirhead and Rick Smith made changes to the course over the decades. In recent years Tom Doak has worked to restore some of Raynor’s original design concepts.

The layout will play to 7,044 yards with a par of 70 this year. Of note: The nines are reversed for the Sony Open to better take advantage of the scenic sunsets.

Check the yardage book: Kapalua’s Plantation Course for the PGA Tour’s 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions

StrackaLine offers hole-by-hole maps for the Hawaiian host of the 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions.

Kapalua’s Plantation Course, site of this week’s 2023 Sentry Tournament of Champions on the PGA Tour, was built in 1991 – the first course designed by the now-famous architecture duo of Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw.

The mountainous layout is ranked by Golfweek’s Best as the No. 2 public-access layout in Hawaii and ties for No. 37 among all modern courses built since 1960 in the United States. The course, which features grand ocean views and the most significant elevation changes of any course on Tour, was extensively restored in 2019.

The Plantation maxes out at 7,596 yards and a par of 73, with only one par 3 on the back nine. With several downhill tee shots and the possibility of drives rolling out past 400 yards, the course usually plays significantly shorter than the yardage might indicate.

Sea Island’s Seaside Course is one of the two courses in play for this week’s RSM Classic on the PGA Tour. The first two rounds also include the popular resort’s Plantation course – each player competes one round on each course – before all weekend play moves solely to the Seaside Course in St. Simons Island, Georgia.

The Seaside Course originally was laid out by famed designers Harry S. Colt and Charles Alison in 1929 and was redesigned by Tom Fazio in 1999. It will play to 7,005 yards with a par of 70 for the RSM Classic. The Plantation Course – renovated by tournament host Davis Love III and his brother, Mark, in 2019 – will play to 7,060 yards with a par of 72.

The Seaside Course ranks as the No. 1 public-access layout in Georgia and also is No. 83 on Golfweek’s Best list of modern courses since 1960 in the U.S. The Plantation Course is the No. 7 public-access track in Georgia.

Check the yardage book: Memorial Park Golf Course for the PGA Tour’s 2022 Cadence Bank Houston Open

See hole-by-hole maps of the popular Houston municipal course that was renovated by Tom Doak in 2019.

Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, site of this week’s Cadence Bank Houston Open on the PGA Tour, originally was designed by John Bredemus and opened in 1936 on the site of a former nine-holer. After decades of neglect it was renovated by Tom Doak in 2019.

Since that $34-million renovation funded through a foundation headed by Houston Astros owner Jim Crane, the Tour returned in 2020. The popular municipal course also has climbed to No. 15 in Texas on Golfweek’s Best ranking of public-access courses. It will play to 7,412 yards with a par of 70 for the Cadence Bank Houston Open.

TPC Summerlin, site of this week’s Shriners Children’s Open on the PGA Tour, was designed by Bobby Weed and opened in 1991 in Las Vegas. Two-time major winner Fuzzy Zoeller provided input.

Check the yardage book: Quail Hollow Club for the 2022 Presidents Cup

StrackaLine offers hole-by-hole maps of Quail Hollow Club, for which the routing has been shuffled ahead of the 2022 Presidents Cup.

Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina – site of the 2022 Presidents Cup – was originally designed by George Cobb and opened in 1961. There have been several renovations to the layout including work by Arnold Palmer and, most recently, Tom Fazio.

Quail Hollow ranks No. 4 in North Carolina on Golfweek’s Best list of private courses in each state.

The PGA Tour has shaken up the normal routing of Quail Hollow for the Presidents Cup in an effort to make sure players encounter the club’s Green Mile, which normally is the tough three-hole finishing stretch. Because the Presidents Cup is match play, there’s a chance many matches could end before reaching those holes. Instead, the normal finishing stretch has been moved up in the routing. What is normally No. 16 at Quail Hollow will play as No. 13 in the Presidents Cup, the normal No. 17 will be No. 14 in the Presidents Cup, and the normal No. 18 will be No. 15 in the Presidents Cup.

The shuffling includes 10 of the holes in total. Nos. 1-8 will play as they normally do, but every other hole on the course has been shuffled in the routing. Each of those changes is indicated on the graphic maps of the holes below. The holes are shown in the routing in which they will be played for the Presidents Cup, and their normal place in Quail Hollow’s routing is indicated in the headers below. Each of the holes that has been moved also has a black box upon the graphic indicating its position in the Presidents Cup and in the normal Quail Hollow routing.

In all, Quail Hollow will play to 7,571 yards with a par of 71 for the Presidents Cup.
