The Ocean South at Pelican Hill Golf Club

Worth every penny. An absolutely beautiful design on The Ocean South course. We happened to snag the earliest twilight rate that was available. From the moment we were received to our handshakes on the 18th, this was what golf enthusiasts live for. First time playing the course and certainly won't be the last when visiting this side of Southern California. The only complaint we had was that the group in front of us was a tad bit slow towards the final 4 holes - this appeared to be from poor golf etiquette - but the views and conditions made it easy to overlook this small complaint. Gorgeous views, variety in terrain, canyons, mountains, ocean views...what else could you ask for? Oh, a chip in par on the 18th to tie your mate 80 - 80!

I love the Pelican Golf Club courses both north and south, I think the North is a bit more difficult than the south but the south has some beautiful holes overlooking the ocean on the back 9. Had a late tee time and finished 17 holes after starting at 3:50. Would have finished but hit a wall around hole 11 after not having to wait all day.

Of course you may be wondering as to why I only am giving the course 4 stars and that’s because of the golf operations staff. Some of them are top notch and professional as it gets and others seem to come off as very entitled due to the fact that they work at a high end club. They will talk down to you if you have questions or issues you might have. For instance this is a course that charges $340 for a round of golf to the public. If I wanted to book as a single or with 3 people they would make you share a cart with a random person that you get paired with. Ever since Covid this has been happening all too frequently. We are paying a premium to get premium amenities and I don’t understand (especially in the afternoon when there are plenty of carts available) why you either have to pay more for a solo cart or try to talk the starter into it. I love getting paired and meeting new people to play with, in fact it’s one of my favorite parts of golf overall but sometimes when you get paired with someone who is either far more talented or not as talented as you, things can become a little frustrating during the round. So Pelican, please let us use our own carts if we ask ahead of time. Thank you.

Great course in great shape. The greens were challenging until you figure out the break. The views were stunning particularly the backside 11-14. The driving range is huge and there are a few putting greens. I would play here again.

Best day ever Beautiful Beautiful Beautiful
Has to be the Peeble Beach of SoCal
Pricey yes but worth every penny
A bucket list for sure

Holy Smokes!!! Enough said! -- The south course was easily in my top 5 courses for beauty and set up. Playability was outstanding minus the one hole with a double green and no drop zone.

If you are looking for picturesque golf course look no further. The staff was nothing but professional hospitable and amazing.

The course was a multi-picture course because of the views. If it is a windy day, this course could be an absolute beast, but the day I played we have picture perfect weather.

I know where I will play again when I return, and I can't wait to play the North Course for comparison!

It has some easy holes and some very challenging ones. Great mix. Had a great time

It was a beautiful course, staff were friendly; fairway is in great shape. The price is on the expensive side unless you have membership but it was sold out for this season.

Very Friendly staff and an overall amazing golf course
