Hole 6 at Torrey Pines Golf Club’s North Course is a challenging par 3 of 206 yards from the championship tees, 160 yards from the pro tees, 150 yards from the men’s tees and 141 yards from the women’s tees. It is rated as handicap 13 for all tee boxes and features three bunkers that cover approximately 6% of its 5466 sq ft green area. This hole can be especially demanding in windy conditions due to its open layout. With an average drive length of 217 yards, it will take one shot with either a 5-wood or 4-iron off the tee to reach this green in regulation. The approach shot should favor a 7 iron depending on wind direction and temperature--which tend to range between mild and warm throughout most seasons due to La Jolla's coastal location--to ensure accuracy into this small target area surrounded by sand traps.
