first time playing the course, expected to much. The conditions of the course is great, the layout is good, but just not pebble beach or even torrey pines. North course was ranked higher in golf digest, but pro shop stated that south course had more views. In my opinion, I feel this course is overpriced about 100 dollars on the weekends.

Great course.

Great course.

Just to correct previous post about discount card at pelican...the $60 is the supertwilight rate that you get at twilight. normal discount is $95, instead of $135.

I hit the Lotto and decided to spend most of it at Pelican. Great lay-out, great staff, greens were excellent. Pretty golf course. Finished in 3.5 hours. IMHO, this is the nicest public course in So. Cal. With respect to the green fees, they have an annual card for $500 that allows 4 to play at twilight rates of $60/week and $70/weekend. Get 3 of your buddies to go in $125 each and get a card for the group. It may be the only way to play the course at a reasonable $$.

This course is perfect! What a day! Crisp and clear. Amazing views of Catalina. Almost as if you could reach out and touch it. Greens were like formica, but held shots well. Pin placements really make the difference on this course. Some front pins the shot will roll right back off the green. Traps were great (I was in a lot of them). Funny, while raking one, I unearthed a burlap sand sack! Fairways like carpet. Awesome place. Find a friend in their player's club and get out with them for the $40 discount.

I too was lucky enough to have Subaru pick up the tab for the outing on 11-18. WOW! I know $$$$ is a lot for a round of golf, but you actually can see how course design is an art. The par 3's had some of the most beautiful ocean backdrops into the setting sun.. The course was slightly overwatered in areas but the greens smooooth. Had a great time and will go back again. Thanks Again Subaru.-Adam

I played this course for the first time at a free tournament on 11-18. The club did an excellent job of running the event, and my hat's off to Subaru for a great experience. The fees are high, and I would never have thought to play the course at the rack rate. But after playing it, I would consider springing for the twilight rate on a special occassion. The conditions were superb, the views by the ocean just incredible, and the layout, although short, is interesting. I'd say it's the nicest course I've played in So. California. Take a few of the best holes from Strawberry Farms, a few from the back nine of Tijeras Creek, add in the views of Monarch Beach and Torrey Pines, add great conditioning, and you get the idea of what this course has to offer. The only drawback that I can think of, besides $$$$, is that there's traffic noise on a few of the holes, although you don't see the traffic.

Played on overseeded fairways and they are better than most courses. The greens are perfect but still had to fix a couple of unrepaired ball marks. The bunkers here are the best i have ever come across they look like the sand is hard pack but they are so nice. The staff is great from top to bottom. You may look at the price of the green fees and wonder how could they charge as much as they do, but once you play here you no longer wonder why.

The bad news is the greens were just aerated; the good news they offered the $99 twilight rate all day which is a pretty good bargain for this course. The course is beautiful and in good shape (except... Continue »

The bad news is the greens were just aerated; the good news they offered the $99 twilight rate all day which is a pretty good bargain for this course. The course is beautiful and in good shape (except greens of course). It is short with mostly narrow fairways which demand that you leave the driver in the bag. The course is worth playing if you can find the rare bargain. One oddity is you have to drive to the range which you pass a 1/4 mile before the course entrance so stop there before checking in.
