KNOW THE COURSE

What to know

THE COURSES

Ocean North and Ocean South

North is known for panoramic ocean views from nearly every tee. South blends sage, eucalyptus and coastal scenery with a more intimate seaside feel.

DESIGN

A Tom Fazio setting

Fazio’s routing works with the natural hillsides and coastal terrain rather than forcing a flat resort layout. The result is scenic, strategic golf with plenty of memorable approach-shot locations.

WHY GO

The views are the headline

Pelican Hill is best suited to golfers who value the overall experience: ocean vistas, attentive service, GPS carts, quality practice facilities and upscale locker rooms.

CURRENT ACCESS

Check availability before planning

During the current restoration period, 18-hole and 9-hole play is available only on select dates. General-public reservations are limited and can generally be made 14 days ahead; resort guests receive earlier booking access.

STAY & PLAY

Make it a resort trip

The property includes luxury bungalows and villas, dining, a spa and the Coliseum Pool. John Wayne Airport is about 15 minutes away, making Pelican Hill particularly convenient for a Southern California weekend.
