Disappointed. Lost ALL their greens !!

Looks like this has been a nice course in the past, and the possibility of being nice again. It needs more work on tee boxes, fairways and greens. Greens have been COMPLETELY DESTROYED by an apparent lack of irrigation and proper maintenance. Temporary greens have been placed in front of greens on the fairway, and have only been cut short and “sprayed green”. Really rough to putt on. Everyone should be aware this course is not up to par before booking. Hopefully they can get the original greens repaired and back in shape to earn back a good reputation.

The course is under new management and being restored. That's where there's 18 temporary greens. They were killed on purpose.

Good course but needs upkeep

Played Pelican Bay 18 holes. All greens were being taken out for repair. Temporary greens were definitely not great and all yardage markers were to the real greens. We played because it was a bargain. We heard from the staff that new owners are planning to fix things in short order. Great news. Food layout with lots of water, bunkers and palm trees. Hope the get it back tobits former glory.

Getting better all the time

This was my fourth time playing Pelican Bay this year. The club’s new owners have been investing in improving the course conditions and improvements are definitely taking place. The fairways and tee off areas are in really good shape, but the regular greens are still 2-3 weeks from being available . Temporary greens are in place for the entire course as the regular greens are being reseeded. They appear to be coming along nicely and i give them a fe ore

Needs work

Every hole has temporary greens, fairway grass cut short, making putting challenging.

Hopefully they will renovate greens and make it playable again.

I will go back occasionally when I want to a play a quick round

Good Deal and Fun Course

The course is improving nicely, and I believe that the greens will come around steadily. It is a hard job to rejuvenate a unkept course, but they are trying to bring it back to its previous beauty. Good weather and a good staff will get it done.

Nostalgic for me

I learned to play on this course 44 years ago, so wanted to play for nostalgic reasons, Fairways where OK, but every green was burnt out and mostly dirt, but the were rolled and so the ball rolled true. Good for my nostalgic round, but you should wait for greens to be seeded a grow in.

My wife likes it!

Course is getting better, and I think they are doing a good job at improving the greens. For the price it is a good value and fun.

Greens have not been watered in 2 months as they are being redone. Difficult to putt on bumpy dirt.

Needs a lot of work.

Booked this tee time since my truck was getting worked on in the area. Didn’t know nor was told when i went to pay that the course was getting punched/aerated that same day or that ALL the greens were 90% exposed wet dirt.

The back 9 tee boxes and fairways were not aerated yet and I assume by the time I post this, those too will be. Greens were still terrible. And I mean BAD. The only saving grace was the back 9 tee boxes and fairways are decent.

If you’re going to have the course on such terrible conditions, charging full price is criminal. If I hadn’t made my wife drive an hour to join me, I would have taken the L and left by hole 2.

The staff was great but a heads up that I would be playing on Mars before I paid would have been nice.

The course at least seems to be getting worked on and is under new management. It’s a nice layout and it sits on a beautiful location. Lots of potential. I would not come back and I don’t recommend anyone coming here until the major improvements are completed.

Building a customer base

Rebuilding the golf course is one thing, but not mentioning the greens in the condition they are and charging more than local courses in much better shape is not building a customer base. It is alienating people from coming back.

Terrible in every way

I can't believe they are charging people to play here right now. We were told the greens were in "bad shape" ...... well, they were pure dirt. I've never seen anything like it before. The whole course was in bad shape from start to finish. They should not be open. And for reference, I played here quite a bit several years ago and it wasn't the best but much better than what it is now. You couldn't pay me to go back to this course.
