18 holes at pelican bay

The staff was great , very nice , the course was really rough , terrible greens , there burnt and so many bare spots , the fairways wasn’t great , cart path that they had was in very bad shape, overall great staff terrible course , way over priced , this would be a 25 dollar for 18 back home , oh and the old men who live in the neighborhood that’s on the golf course , they must play there all the time and acted like they owned the place and kept giving us a hard time

The fairways were like hitting off of concrete. No green grass. Greens were hard and scaly. I’m from up north and have played this course a few times and have not seen it in this shape ever.

Turn on the sprinklers

Greens are dead and brown fairways and tee boxes not much better. The greens are so hard the ball bounces 6’ in the air on approach shots and they must be running at a 25 on the stimp meter. The fair ways are so hard that my elbows hurt after the round.

I know they have new owners- they fixed the bridges and are working on the restaurant and on course bathrooms. Fix the sprinklers.

Won’t be back for a long time. For $13 more get a tee time at LPGA (hot deal)

Coming Around

Considering new owners, the course has indications that it may return to its former condition some ten years ago. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great layout terribly maintained

Challenging layout and an overall good experience. The greens are in terrible condition and a lot of the tee boxes are sandy so your tee won't stick. Played from the whites but occasionally had to move to gold or even green to get a proper lie or to be able to put your tee in. Nice fairways, and very challenging hole placements, especially with all the hazards.

Pelican Bay on the comeback

The course has been taken over by new owners. The facility shows updates and has a plan for improvements in all areas. The pool, the restaurant , bar area, and the pro shop, as well as the course all show signs of new improvements.

I’m a resident of Pelican Bay and am happy to see these improvements. The current personnel are happy and positive, a 360 degree change from the old management staff. Keep up the great job !

Horrible course for the price

Genuinely one of the worst courses I ever played on. Every single green was completely dead and the tea boxes were also completely dead. Fairways were mostly dirt and they don’t even serve alcohol or sell beer in the clubhouse.

Great course needs some updates

I really like the layout of this course. I understand there is new ownership and they are already starting to make improvements.

Do Not Play

This course should not be open. They are not watering any part of the course. The greens are burnt up, concrete-like surface. I can only guess that they let the greens go in preparation for complete make over or re-planting. This is maybe the worst GOAT FARM I've ever tried to play!

Terrible Conditions

The Course is in terrible condition. All the greens are brown, The sand traps are a mix of dirt and sand(also Brown) Fairways are dry, every lie is a tight hard lie. I would not recommend to anyone. The staff were very cheerful and helpful. They are aware of the bad conditions.

Tee boxes and greens were in as bad a shape as I’ve ever seen, fairways weren’t much better. Courses actually need to stop play until they can rectify the condition. Sorry for the bad review, but I’ve never played a course in such poor condition!

Pelican Bay

Staff was outstanding and the course design was good. However there was not a blade of green grass to be found anywhere. Every green completely burnt out. Won't be playable for months to come if they get going in the right direction immediately. If not it might not be until next year.

Pelican

Greens are brown but roll fast and true. A couple greens are in pretty bad shape (#1). Fairways are hard and rough mowed close so you get a lot of runout (right into the water).
