Torrey Pines brings the world’s best golfers to San Diego for four days every winter, but where you go before and after the final putt matters just as much as where you sit on the course. If you want tournament days to feel like a coastal getaway instead of a packed schedule, Del Mar is where locals point their friends.
Watch the Rounds with an Ocean Backdrop at Monarch Ocean Pub
Monarch Ocean Pub is one of the easiest places in Del Mar to catch tournament coverage while still enjoying the coast. TVs run throughout the space, and the seating keeps you connected to the view whether you’re inside or outside.
Continue watching the leaderboard without heading back to your room or waiting for a dinner reservation.
Local tip: Don’t forget to stay for the sunset cheers that happen every night.
Margaritas After the Last Hole at Tamarindo Del Mar
When the final group finishes, head to Tamarindo Del Mar. This is where tournament days loosen up. The margaritas are strong, the tables fill fast, and conversations tend to stretch longer than planned.
It’s equal parts celebration and decompression. Whether you come straight from Torrey Pines or wander in later for dinner, this is where the day ends on a high note.
Local tip: Try their locally famous mole, you won’t regret it.
Dress the Part at Gary’s Studio
If you need something for the course or dinner, stop by Gary’s Studio. The selection is practical and well-curated, with pieces that work for daytime and evening without feeling too formal.
You’ll find layers, shoes, and basics that hold up through long days outside and nights out.

Sunset from the Ocean View Deck
Before dinner, take a few minutes at the Ocean View Deck. It’s an open-air spot with direct ocean views and an easy place to pause at the end of the day.
No tables, no wait, just a solid vantage point for sunset.
Have time to hang out a bit longer? Play a free round of Cornhole or Ping-Pong with friends!
A Better Way to Spend Tournament Weekend
Torrey Pines may be the main event, but the Del Mar Plaza is where the rest of the day happens. Good meals and drinks, places to watch the coverage, and easy access to the coast make it a vibrant and versatile place to be during the Farmers’ Insurance Open.
Plan your rounds, then plan your evenings with Del Mar Plaza.
