The Ocean South at Pelican Hill Golf Club

If you can afford to play it regularly, great. Otherwise special occasions for me only as it’s a tad overpriced.

I only played it because I was able to secure a discount on Golf Now. Otherwise, it’s not worth $677. First, the layout is tough. All the greens slope and some pins were a bit unfair given the slope. The really long par 4s (i.e., 412, 440) were a bit ridiculous unless you can drive it 300 yards (from the blue tees- I’m a 7 handicap). Second, the group in front of us were at least a hole and a half behind. Yet the marshal just kept writing down “something” but never pushed them or let us pass through. That’s poor for this type of course. Lastly, I would rate this as a course that should cost the public between $159 and $239 (weekdays vs weekends). It was on my bucket list. I checked the box but I don’t think the layout and cost are worth playing again. Pro shop staff and starter were friendly and helpful. The marshal needs to move groups that are slow, especially when our carts told us we were 10-18 minutes behind. That should never happen at any course let alone one that charges a premium. There are only a few holes with ocean views, but they were spectacular.

I played this course for the first time and I am in awe with the service! From Valet to Pro Shop check in to starter check in. All in this place is logistically placed in an organized manner si that golfers will not miss anything and that there is a flow in what you do so there will no delays or push back to start. Well

managed.

The course is in great shape! The views are the same as Torrey Pines, Monarch Beach but still not comparable to Pebble Beach.

The only issues I have is the back to back Par 3’s on the back nice of the South Course and the expensive tee time. If they lower their green fees by $50 then people may reconsider playing here. Another option is even if they maintain the prize at add some incentive to the golfer - I only got 2 free bottled water and free range balls. Maybe they can add free burrito or taco or humus dip to incentivize patrons to their course.

This place is a sanitation plant for human poop. Don’t go here unless you like human poop on you.

Very unfriendly starter . Seemed he was doing us a favour letting us spend $1500 to play a round

I played the South course on an overcast day at the end of May. I can only imagine this place when the sun is shining all day. I absolutely loved the course. There was almost no one playing that day, and I ended up going out as a single at 11:50. I caught up to a twosome on 11 as they were waiting on the group in front of them. The round took about 3 1/2 hours.

The layout is spectacular. You don't get ocean views on every hole, but the views you do get are breathtaking. I played the white tees and shot a great round. The holes can be a little tight, but there is usually some mounding that will direct your call back to the fairway. I look forward to coming back.

I booked a 4:00 tee time at Pelican Hill with golf now. I did show up a little early and as a single asked if there were any earlier openings that I could join. The person checking me in said because I booked with golf now it was not possible to change my time. So I went to warm up and decided I would ask the starter if there was an opening for a single. He said “Your the golf now guy” if you want to go at 3:30 you need to go inside and pay more. I have been playing golf for 30 years and have never been treated so poorly. If they have a problem with golf now bookings Mabey they should stop.

Always a great place to play with incredible views!!

Pelican Hill Ocean South is a beautiful and challenging course. The fairways are wide but you need to be fairly accurate since missed fairways will result in very difficult second shots and in most cases lost balls. The areas around the greens and the greens themselves are very tricky and almost unfair in some instances but this us what makes the course very difficult. The range and practice area is great and the staff very attentive. The green fees are expensive but there appear to be deals once in a while. This is a must play!

Incredibly expensive, but worth it on a deal every once in a while, especially on a nice day.

One of the best all around golf courses I have played. The views are stunning. The course design and conditions are exceptional. Customer service is outstanding.

Beautiful course, lots of scenic photo ops , the greens were great just hard for a midwestern to read . Would love to play it again. 1:20 tee time rate was worth it got in 17 holes before dark .
