A very frustrating experience

There was a fivesome of beginner golfers in front of us for the front nine. Two adults and three children ages about 8 years old, and it was a terrible experience.

Overpriced

While the scenery at Pelican Hill Golf Course is undoubtedly breathtaking, the overall experience leaves much to be desired. The staff was pleasant, but the course layout is unremarkable. Unfortunately, the condition of the course does not justify the $500 price tag. The greens appear to be painted, and the bunkers are in terrible shape—hard, compact, and seemingly untouched for a long time, with the only white sand visible near the clubhouse. I won’t be returning and would recommend spending your money at a better-maintained course elsewhere.

Beautiful Course/Layout… subpar organization

The course is well put together, great design. Carts are restricted speeds very frequently throughout the round and cause it to play very very slow. Starters were not exactly on point in getting everyone out on time. Took us about 4:45 to get through. Worth making the trip, slightly overpriced for what you get.

Great course for the twilight price

Def worth $250 but def not worth the sometimes $700 that I see it going for. Conditions are nice, but the greens sometimes looked like they had been through a hail storm. FIX YOUR DIVOTS PEOPLE
