The Club at Pelican Bay - North Course

Unit rained on and off while we were playing and it had rained for several days before we played. The greens were in good conditions but the fairways were only fair. The person in the pro-shop was not very welcoming . The club house would have been "something " in its day but is now quite tired.

We visited family in Ormond Beach this week. I played Pelican on Monday and wrote a review on Tuesday. I played the course on Wednesday and again today Friday. The golf course itself is in very good to exellent condition . IF YOU KEEP THE BALL IN PLAY. meaning in the Fairways and on the Greens. Yes there are one or two tee boxes with very little grass. Yet you tee up the ball anyway, so it did not have a negative effect on my play. Whoever left that last negative comment is either an "Online Troll", maybe an X fired employee. Or maybe a SnowFlake that cannot play golf and blames the golf course for their poor play, and expects Pro PGA quality conditions. It that is what you expect, then you pay $200+ for the round. Do Not Believe these negative comments. I played the course three times this week and was very happy with the course conditions. Around the greens are in very good shape as well. Due to the very windy conditions I missed a lot of greens. Because of the great green conditions the ball rolled very true and I Chipped and Putted very well this week and shot my handicap each round. If I lived nearby I would play this golf course often. Have Fun out there... :)

The course is in horrible shape, tee boxes with no grass on them, just horrible, it should prob be closed down if they don't want to invest any money in it

When we travel I utilize GolfNow to locate golf courses to play. The Daytona Beach area apparently was hit rather hard by dry weather. Most of the courses had negative reviews regarding course and green conditions. Then I read the recent reviews for Pelican Bay. They said that the course is under new management and that the greens and fairways were much improved, and are in good shape. I found a Hot Deal and played it yesterday. The course is actually in really good condition. All of the greens were in excellent condition and rolled true on chips and putts. All of the fairways had green grass, albeit most had various varieties of grasses. It was all green grass and very playable. A few tee boxes were in pretty bad shape, yet I have played worse. Some of the cart paths need replacing. Granted you can see that areas of the grounds and around the clubhouse need a lot of TLC. Yet the golf course itself (where you play the game) is in very good shape. It was my first time playing Pelican Bay. I believe that management has the correct priorities, focus on the course first. The other areas can be addressed in due time when capital improvement funds are available. I liked the course so much that I am playing there tomorrow and Friday. Give it a try with an open mind and you will agree with my comments. Have Fun out there... :)

The transformation taking place at this course is striking. It no longer deserves the lousy reputation it used to have - in fact, just the opposite. The new greens that were put in 2 months ago are fantastic - they roll true and are impeccably maintained. The layout held my interest throughout the round and offer a challenging but fair test. The customer service is top-notch h (shout out to Brian) and it’s obvious these guys are really putting a lot of effort and resources into turning the ship around. If you give it a try, I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised as well. I’ll be back for sure.

Have been playing this course for 25 years. It’s had its ups and downs. Hadn’t played there for a while and missed when it got in really bad condition. But it’s back and better than ever. The new greens roll beautifully. Fairways don’t have any bare spots. Tees are a bit rough but no issue as using a tee. I hope they get more play as it’s in better condition than Daytona GC and I liked it better than the LPGA course I played in April. Has a nice layout and it’s definitely not boring like a lot of Florida courses are. Play it and you’ll see. Great value right now on Golfnow!

played this course 2 yrs, ago and said they would have to pay me to play there again ,but someone told me that it had been redone so I went back and to my surprise it was in good condition. if you have played this course in the last 5 years. Give it a try you will be surprised.

Conditions improving steadily. A few of the tee boxes need attention. Overall very good condition considering all the rain. Maintenance being conducted everywhere on the course! Put this on your favorites list.

I haven’t played this course in years because the last time I played it it was an absolute crap hole! It has just reopened after all new greens put in. It has made this course amazing. I have played this course twice now since it reopened six weeks ago. One of my favorite courses in this area now. Clubhouse bar and restaurant not open yet but they’re coming around a little bit more each week. Play all the courses in Daytona area. This one is that one I’m moving to the top of my list.

I was pleasantly surprised when I went down the first fairway and putted on 1st green. What a major change from where it was three years ago . Some of the tee boxes were a little scattered, but for the most part fairways were decent. The greens running about eight on the stemp meter. MLB 2 handicapper..

What a change from 5 years ago; it is like playing at a newly opened golf course! Go out and try it for yourself; you will be amazed.

The Greens were smoothly manicured and fast; with rough cut so you could chip or Texas Wedge it if you were on the edge.

The Fairways,,, wow, the fairway grass actually covered the entire fairway,,, no holes and no bare patches. The fairway rough was cut perfectly for both types of players; those that prefer irons and those that like to use woods (🙋🏻‍♂️)

The Practice area; who could want more: the putting and chipping area matched what I found out on the course👍😊. The driving range actually had grass to hit off of, on a nice flat area; not the same quality as the new fairways but grass.

The tee boxes were good, not like the fairways, but you only tee off there.

The bathrooms could stand upgrading but they are actually operational bathrooms,,, not portapotties.

This is my new favorite course and I have played LPGA, Venetian Bay, Vic Park; Debary; Crane, Daytona public courses; you name it and I have golfed it; only Pebble Beach courses and one in Cancun were better.

I will be back next week, and the next, and again, and again, 👍

HAVENT PLAY THIS COURSE FOR 5 YEARS AFTER READING THE LATEST6 REVIEWS WE DECIDED TO GIVE IT A LOOK FRIENDLY WELCOME THE NEW OWNER NICE CARTS WENT TO FIRST TEE STARTED TO PLAY NICE FAIRWAYS WITH PLENTY OF GRASS NUMBER ONE GREEN REALLY NICE AS WERE ALL THE GREENS AND ALL THE FAIRWAYS WERE VERY GOOD PLEASE GIVE THIS COURSE ANOTHER TRY IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED IT I PROMISE YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED DONT GO BY THE OLD REVIEWS THE NEWONES TELL IT ALL

New greens are quite decent, and consistent. Not

Really much break on any greens here, but again fixing them was a right first move. Variable fairway grass, lots of weed and clover but green and playable. Tee boxes not in the best shape. No rakes in ‘bunkers’ so they’re really waste areas with dense, dark I guess ‘sand’, but my few sand shots came out well enough. The ‘pro shop’, parking, signage etc. in need of significant upgrades. But hey, for $20, a reasonable play. Decent mix of holes, 3000 yds from the whites. I’ll play it again.

The owners are doing a good job of getting the course back in good working order. I am asking them nicely to drain the water and so I can retrieve my balls.
