GolferTorrey Pines Golf CourseThe fabulous US Open Golf Championship, one of the most prestigious in the USGA tour, is coming to San Diego in just a few months. This is the first time the event has been held in America’s Finest City, and Southern California has not hosted the event since 1948.

Preparations are well under way and excitement is mounting for one of the oldest golf championship events around – this year is the 108th. The Open is one of the 13 national championship events that are held each year by the USGA, 10 of which are for amateurs only.

Torrey Pines Golf Course in La Jolla, a prominent (public) course in its own right, will be the host of this magnificent event being held from June 9th through the 15th. The course boasts magnificent views of the ocean and the hilly terrain, and is adjacent to the popular Torrey Pines State Reserve.

According to the website tickets are sold out, but they appear to be available at Go Tickets. Prices for the grounds tickets are $25 to $225 depending on the day; Trophy Club tickets run from $40 to $405. If you are lucky enough to be attending, you can read the spectator guide here.

I love attending professional golf tournaments! The last one I attended was the very last time Tiger lost :-( which was a long time ago.

Jeff, I never would have guessed that it had been that long since Southern California has hosted the US Open.  I would have expected California to of been one of their favorite places.  I hope you are able to get tickets at a reasonable price.  Maybe you can even send one to Linda :) :)

Linda - I have not been to a tournament in ages, and given the price and availability of these tickets, it looks like I will not be going here either. :)  Wish I could send you a ticket, as George suggests beloe.

George - I was surprised as well, although they have had other big name tourneys here. Torrey Pines is only the second time the Open has been held on a public course, I believe. From what I am now hearing, tickets are pretty much gone already so Linda is out of luck.

I was just happy I could say I saw Tiger in person. He is such a presence. I managed to luck out at one point and he was right next to me as he waited to putt. I really wanted to touch him. LOL I knew better. I know I stared at him like a teenager.

What a coup!  I can't think of a prettier golf course than Torrey Pines and your weather should be perfect!

I went to the US Open in Oakmont (my parent's live by there), it's a great time.  It was amazing to see Tiger golf and some Brazilian guy win who kept smoking the whole time
