History
A notable tournament connection
Club Pelican Bay hosted the original Aetna Challenge in 1988, an event that later became associated with the Chubb Classic. Gary Player won the inaugural edition.
Access
Private membership required
This is a private, member-owned club, so casual public tee times are not the normal way to play. Prospective members should contact the club directly for current membership categories, availability and guest policies.
Ask HH about this→Who it suits
A good fit for active members
Club Pelican Bay should appeal to golfers who want multiple nines, a welcoming social environment and full-service club amenities. It is less suited to visitors simply searching for an inexpensive public round.
