Hole 2 at Torrey Pines Golf Club ' North Course '
Par 4 • 326 Yards • La Jolla, California
This short par 4 at Torrey Pines Golf Club North Course presents a deceptively strategic challenge despite its modest 326-yard length. The straight layout invites aggressive play, with longer hitters contemplating driver to reach the small green in regulation. However, the compact putting surface demands precision, making club selection crucial from the tee. The absence of significant hazards allows golfers to focus purely on distance control and approach angle. Smart players often favor a controlled tee shot that leaves a comfortable wedge distance, as the small green complex punishes wayward approach shots. This risk-reward hole perfectly exemplifies how shorter par 4s can still test course management skills and reward thoughtful strategy over pure power.

This 326-yard par 4 requires precise course management as there is no traditional fairway landing area - the fairway width measures 0 yards at both 200 and 250 yards from the tee, indicating either a severe dogleg or unique layout requiring strategic positioning.
With the hole measuring only 326 yards total and bunkers positioned at 332.8 yards, you're dealing with greenside hazards that extend beyond the pin - plan your approach to avoid these bunkers that guard the putting surface.
The green measures 4,674 square feet (29 yards by 30 yards), providing a generous target for approach shots - use this sizeable putting surface to your advantage by aiming for the center and letting the green's dimensions work in your favor.
Critical strategic consideration: with 0 yards of fairway width at the typical landing zones and a 0-yard landing zone from the tee, this hole demands alternative shot placement - likely requiring a layup strategy or precise navigation around hazards to find playable areas.
This 326-yard par 4 is ideal for working on your driver accuracy. Launch monitors from $600 let you practice this exact shot with real course data from home.
