The club maintains an emphasis on traditional golf etiquette and dress, enhancing the sense of occasion for every round.

The design invites players to embrace tactical golf, where risk-reward decisions shape each hole. Whether approaching a par-3 guarded by staked trees or a par-5 that encourages strategic layups, individual skill and concentration remain paramount. The experience rewards patience and precision, with the club’s serene environment allowing focus without distraction.

Plainfield Country Club stands as a quietly distinguished venue where classic golf architecture meets an inviting yet challenging playing field. Its private setting ensures a peaceful, exclusive atmosphere conducive to both competitive play and social enjoyment, appealing to seasoned golfers and ambitious players alike.

We went to the Farmers Open yesterday and saw the pros on the north and south course. The greens were in immaculate condition and the fairways were beautifully manicured. We arrived first thing in the morning and watch players tee off on the north course. We followed a couple groups around, hit the iconic holes, and then made our way back to the lodge for a lunch and drinks. We hit the Tito’s tent outside the lodge and grabbed wraps and cocktails. The drinks were strong and the wraps were filling. We then proceeded to the south course to follow the leaders and find the fun cocktail tents. It was quite the scene. In the afternoon the winds picked up and they had to pause play because the winds got too strong. We hunkered down in a cocktail bar to wait for play to resume but we had to leave by the time it was ready to restart.

Most beautiful golf course in Southern California with unique holes, greens, and scenic ocean views. The course is very well maintained and the staff is knowledgeable, welcoming, and efficient. Priced well for Dan Diego residents, hard to get a tee tint if the only downside but that’s due to it being an incredible course and experience!

If your going to visit Torrey Pines, I would suggest doing it early in the day to avoid traffic. Great gift shop and restaurant. Staff is also very helpful and friendly.

This golf course is one of my bucket list. I played in the golf course and watched farmer insurance there, and I bumped into Ludvig Åberg, which is really cool for me. I also think that the green there is fast, and the fairway is in good condition. Will definitely come back again.

Came here without a reservation on a Monday around 2pm and I was able to get a tee time at 3pm. The app makes finding a spot as a single very easy. The staff is knowledgeable and nice and will help you get out. It’s expensive for out of state golfers but worth it. The course is pristine and some really great views. The layout is good but nothing crazy. The north wasn’t too hard but had some great views of the ocean. Definitely come if in the area. Good for all levels of golfers.

Very nice course with beautiful views of the ocean. This place also had the thickest grass I've ever seen in my life. The grass was so thick I lost balls in the rough even when I knew where I hit them. Beware the "Marine Layer", it tends to cause a bit of wind and chilly temperatures. Bring layers to take on/off.
