Hole 7 at Torrey Pines Golf Club's South Course is a 462 yard, par 4 championship tee. It has a slight dogleg right with an approximate fairway width of 32 yards. The green area is 8997 sq ft and there are two bunkers that make up 3% of the total green area.
This hole plays slightly longer in the winter months due to cold temperatures which can affect ball flight conditions and require more club off the tee. Wind can also be a factor here as it often blows from left to right on this hole making it difficult for players to keep their drives in play. A good drive should leave you with a mid-iron or wedge into the green depending on your skill level and distance control ability. Players hitting driver will need to hit a draw if they want to stay away from trouble off the tee, while those playing shorter clubs may have an easier time keeping their shots in play but still need precision when aiming for the smallish green surrounded by bunkers.

Club Recommendations
Playing Tips:
1. Consider playing a shorter club off the tee to increase accuracy and avoid potential trouble.
2. Aim for the center of the fairway with your drive, as it is only 32 yards wide and wind often blows from left to right on this hole.
3. If you do hit driver, aim slightly left of center if possible and play a draw to stay away from trouble in the trees or bunkers on the right side of the fairway.
4. Take into account cold temperatures which can affect ball flight conditions and require more club off the tee than normal when estimating distance control ability for approach shots into green area that is 8997 sq ft but has two bunkers making up 3% of its total area
5. Use precision when aiming for smallish green surrounded by bunkers with your mid-iron or wedge approach shot
