The Grand is in Del Mar north of downtown San Diego at the Carmel Country exit off the Ted Williams Freeway.

The course and setting is scenic as it moves through the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve over varying degrees of elevation change with multiple water features. It's a parkland style layout traversing broad, tree lined fairways with an abundance of sand bunkers and generous, sloped, and undulating greens. The golf course was designed by Tom Fazio and plays to 7,160 yards, 74.8/139, course/slope ratings from the back tees with five shorter tee boxes.
