2022 Results
This February, the San Diego Parks Foundation held the 4th Annual Undertow Charity Classic at the world-famous Torrey Pines municipal golf course in La Jolla. Thanks to the leadership of the Development and Projects Committee, the event was a huge success! This year we expanded the tournament to include the South Course, and finally, we were able to safely gather for a welcome reception, where we celebrated our third anniversary and acknowledged those who have shared their time, talent, and treasure to help make the San Diego Parks Foundation’s first three years a huge success.
Proceeds from the 2022 Undertow Charity Golf Classic will help us improve the ball fields, upgrade the playground, and build a community garden in partnership with the Bayside Community Center, a local nonprofit that has been a leader in the Linda Vista Community for more than ninety years.

Why "The Undertow"?
During the CBS broadcast of the 2018 Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club, announcer Gary McCord made notice that Hole No.'s 2, 3 and 4 on The North Course played among the third most-difficult on the PGA TOUR for the season (that includes the South Course).
At that point, course management decided to have fun with the interesting stat and create a naming contest. "The Green Mile," "The Bear Trap," and "The Blue Monster" now have some company. The North Course’s newly-famed three-hole stretch was named "The Undertow" by San Diego resident Peter Look, who prevailed in a summer 2018 contest featuring over 400 entries to grace the difficult holes with an appropriate moniker.
Now, you can be a part of history by playing in the first event that pays homage to the name.
