Find a friend who is a member of their Player's Club so you can enjoy this slice of golf heaven for a "reduced" rate. Yes, it is way too expensive ($99 twilight), but it is a beautiful, fairly difficult course. Lots of variety in the layout. Great customer service from the valet to the marshalls. I'd highly recommend it, if you can afford it.

Play Pelican for the vistas, not the golf. Fun to look at all the multimillion dollar houses and the ocean views on nearly every hole, but the course layout is not as impressive as Talega or Black Go... Continue »

Play Pelican for the vistas, not the golf. Fun to look at all the multimillion dollar houses and the ocean views on nearly every hole, but the course layout is not as impressive as Talega or Black Gold. I realize the realestate here is high and the green fees correspond, but for the money, there are better pure golf experiences elsewhere.

But if you're looking to impress a client or visitor, the service here is impeccable and the views are the best. I played during the week of airation. Pro taking my reservation said it would be better than I expect. He was wrong. Eventhough we were only charged $99, putting was a joke. Nothing inside 6 ft rolled straight and the speed varied from green to green. Took us over 5 hours to finish our round even when the course was supposedly in subpar conditions and not as busy as it could be. I must say that the Marshall was very communicative and did try to hussle the slow groups ahead of us. Unfortunately, w/ the high fees that golfers pay here, they feel that they've paid for the right to savor every stroke.

So if you come here, expect a slow round, better than avg conditions, spectacular views, but avg golf.

VERY EXPENSIVE!! Only worth the fee when someone else is paying but it is a great golf experience. Without a doubt my favorite golf experience (condition, pace of play, service, course layout, views... Continue »

VERY EXPENSIVE!! Only worth the fee when someone else is paying but it is a great golf experience. Without a doubt my favorite golf experience (condition, pace of play, service, course layout, views, etc) in OC. I have played almost all of OC courses and none compare - then again, none cost this much!!

One more note. The staff will not allow you to start prior to your tee time. They will not even allow you to pay until 15 minutes before your tee time (for super twilight anyway).

I played this course today (north). It is beautiful. I was in awe as I looked out onto the golf course from the restaurant (the grill) in the clubhouse. I was also impressed with the course conditions. However, I played at 2:30PM and paid the super twilight rate (60 dollars). No way would I ever pay 250 or the regular twilight rate. It's not worth it. Also, I was a bit disappointed that the holes were not on the coast. It's not as close to the ocean as Torrey Pines. I played speed golf today with my buddy and almost finished. Do the super twlight and hope you can finish. I definently recommend this course, it's beautiful, just not for that ridiculous price.

The Pelican Hill golf course are my favorite in OC. The green fee is steep…too steep...but the experience memorable. I played twilight today on the North although the twosome we joined played the South yesterday and said the South was in better shape. The North was in great shape though so I wasn’t disappointed. Greens were immaculate…Service was good…Layout was awesome…Good times.

played on 6/2 (north course) and the course was the best I had seen in quite some time. The attitude of the staff was as usual, tip me first and then I will help you. Other than that another good da... Continue »
