Is not worth it

Friendly welcome, bad condition of the range. Tee boxes very bad condition. Layout okay but I played a lot of way better courses speciall by this price. Time of play with a foursome infringe who played at least 3 balls at every hole. No Marshall around the caddy was teaching same on the course. Not to be recommended. All over the course in bad condition. For this kind of money I expect a perfect course and not such mediocre.

What a day & view

I'd played the north and wanted to play the south for a while. We jumped on a hot deal for around $250/player at 12 pm. The course was in pretty good shape after the greens were needle punched 4 days prior. This was unnoticable for the first 12 or so holes and the putts ran nicely. Then on the last 6 holes, the greens were a little rougher withbeither larger punching holes or very squishy (especially 17 and 18). This allowed the putts to get more affected by footprints than normal. The views are breathtaking especially #7 and #16 which are par threes with the ocean behind. The tees and fairways for the most part were good with the occasional rough or dormant spots. A fair amount of the bunkers had 4-6 inches of sand especially to the front left of #1, but were mostly good.

Amazing Ocean view

I played this beautiful course many years ago.Today we had another nice round even was so cold. We didn’t finish 18 holes since TT too late. We will be back for sure! Staffs are very friendly. Course condition was very great even with heavy rain last few days. They did excellent job to maintaining.

Can't wait to return!

We had the opportunity to play the South course at Pelican Hill today and it was beyond my expectation! I had read lot of reviews from other people and the general consensus was that while it was scenic, the North Course was much more difficult and the "Championship" of the two.

Let me preface by saying that the South Course is no walk in the park. To begin with, if you are not a far hitter, you will struggle from the White tees and above. This course requires you to hit far and also be accurate, given that a lot of the holes play pretty long.

Critics have said that some of the holes are gimmicky, and I concur. I would say there are about 4-5 holes and seem a little force fed or underwhelming, and I was especially underwhelmed by holes 12 and 13, the back to back par 3's. Nothing really too special here.

This course is very idyllic, taking you through windy roads full of trees and flowers, and views of the ocean / surrounding areas which is just really really spectacular.

Overall, a very nice course, though, but make sure that you prepare yourself!

Chalanging greens sloppy and fast hard when it’s your first time playing the course . A little wind made it even harder. But the course conditions and the scenery are fabulous and made the experience a treat

Thank you!!
