The Ocean North at Pelican Hill Golf Club

Difficult track, absolutely insane views. Literally not an ugly place to stand on this entire golf course. Really tough greens. #17 is the most beautiful I’ve seen in my life and I’ve played all over the world. Only gripe would be price, but hey, it’s Newport Beach real estate, and this was not a cheap course to build (or maintain) so I get it.

Fantastic course!!. You don't have to waste your time in other golf course. This is your course. thank you !!

I was expecting to see at least some course damage due the ongoing drought. But every tee box , fairway, and green were in excellent condition. Pace of play was not horrible at about 4.5 hrs.

We played this course on a Saturday. The layout and course amenities are excellent. However, the greens and bunkers were not perfect. The greens were full of divots and spike marks that made the greens roll untrue. Expected better from a course at the cost point. Bunkers do not look like they had been groomed that day. Also, the main putting greens was closed so no putting/pitching warm up. Pace of play was slow as we had to wait on the 8th tee box onward. They did not have a marshal keeping play moving. The views from the course was spectacular so it is worth a one time visit. But at the price to play did not correspond to the conditions of the course so I likely would not replay as I can play other courses in SoCal in better condition at a lower price.

Always want to play this course if the price is right. Except pace is a little slow due to the group in front of us, everything is perfect. Will come back.

Although great view holes the greens were really poor and so fast that v difficult to read or play.. staff and amenities were good bit for a golfer the game did not meet the price

I don’t usually pay a few hundred bucks to play a round of golf but this is one where that splurge is justified. The course layout is scenic and challenging. I played the north course. Fairways , greens and boxes were in good shape. Bunkers can use more help but that’s on the players not raking after. Same goes for divots you can find on greens. Pace of play was ok. Given the price I understand most people want to play like they are on the tour. Really no big complaints. Just a beautiful course which I wish I could play more.

This is a great course with stunning ocean views on many holes. The course was in beautiful condition except for the bunkers which were like any typical resort course loaded with footprints because of lazy golfers who don't rake them. The greens were slick with putts close to the whole continuing to run out. I'll go back to play the South Course, but with so many golf courses to play, I don't think I'll pay $415 dollars to play it again.

Very well maintained course and a staff that goes above and beyond for a great experience! Great pace of play and a course that is every bit as challenging and fun as it is beautiful.

First off, if you can, book a stay to go along with the golf; from the second you turn onto the entrance road, you’ll understand. The North has a nice secluded feel, being tucked away pretty well from roads and houses. Favorite hole was the 18th. No complaints worth mentioning, however, if you’re searching for perfection, Journey at Pechanga comes closer, and if you like the option to walk, it’s Trump National in Palos Verdes.

The north is less enjoyable than the south and obviously impacted by watering restrictions

Pelican Hill has 2 beautiful Fazio courses. Played the North this time. Perfect condition.

Staffs were kind, green's condition was good. I enjoyed all with beautiful ocean view.
