The tournament takes place at Torrey Pines Golf Course, San Diego, California

The Farmers Insurance Open is held at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, California. The course is perched atop cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the community of La Jolla, just south of Torrey Pines State Reserve. Torrey Pines is a 36-hole municipal golf facility with two 18-hole golf courses, the North and South Courses. The tournament has been hosted here since 1968, with the first two rounds played on both courses and the final two rounds played solely on the South Course.

The South Course, which plays 7,802 yards and par 72, is the more challenging of the two. It was redesigned in 2001 and again in 2019, making it longer and more difficult. The course features distracting views of hang-gliders and para-gliders soaring at the edge of the cliffs on the south end. The North Course, on the other hand, is shorter and rated less difficult. It underwent a redesign in 2016, led by Tom Weiskopf.

The Torrey Pines Golf Course is owned by the City of San Diego and is recognised as one of the nation's premier golf facilities. The course was originally designed by William F. Bell and opened in 1957. It was built on the site of Camp Callan, a former U.S. Army installation during World War II. The course is named after the Torrey pine, a rare tree that grows wild only in this region of San Diego County and on Santa Rosa Island.

The Farmers Insurance Open is one of the PGA Tour's marquee events, attracting a strong and star-studded field each year. The tournament generates millions of dollars for charity, including support for at-risk and underserved youth and low-income military families in San Diego.
