The Resort at Pelican Hill
From the moment of arrival, you’ll experience a place like no other. The relaxed comfort of Pelican Hill takes inspiration from the grand villas of the Italian countryside. Like the Mediterranean, the sun-drenched climate of Southern California allows indoor spaces to open up to the outdoors and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. The classic architecture of the Resort traces its roots back to Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, with its signature feature being the Coliseum Pool or mega proportions & sea views.
West of the resort is Crystal Cove: three miles of pristine beaches ideal for exploring tide pools, swimming, surfing and diving. The best features of the resort are the two 18-hole, Tom Fazio Golf Courses with jaw-dropping Pacific Ocean views and fantastic golf. Nearby golf destinations include Ojai Valley Inn, Monarch Beach Resort, Torrey Pines and Silverado Resort.

Golf Course Information
When jaw-dropping scenery is par for the course, you’ll need to remind yourself to keep your eye on the ball. But once you find your focus, players of every skill level are rewarded with 36 holes that test your mettle, quicken your pulse and stir your soul. Pelican Hill Golf Club is more than just a round of golf. It’s a two-course feast to make you feel as if golf is your sole reason for being. And from the moment you tee off, it absolutely is. Celebrating 25 years of majestic California sunsets and unforgettable rounds, Pelican Hill Golf Club is a world-class experience that you have to play to believe.
With a quarter century of accolades and accomplishments on the score card, it’s no wonder these two courses are described as some of the most spectacular in golf. The Ocean North Course features panoramic views from every hole, while the Ocean South Course takes you closest—with three holes directly on the coast. Included with both: Pelican Hill’s unmatched service and amenities, featuring professional forecaddies, impeccable practice facilities, plush men’s and women’s locker rooms, shoe attendants and club-cleaning service.
Ocean North Course
Panoramic ocean views from every tee box are just the beginning. Open canyons and elevated plateaus dot the landscape, and at nearly 7,000 yards from the tips, your full attention is required. Several holes weave their way right down to the cliff’s edge, but great shots here require more than just a great camera. Lose your focus, and you might just lose the hole.
Ocean South Course
Yep, she certainly is a beauty. But the South Course is more than just eye candy. The pristine greens look harmless at first glance, but most are surrounded by bunkers and deep chasms, momentarily stealing your attention from the 270-degree views of the Pacific. Concentration here is a must, lest you end up taking more shots with your wedge than you do with your camera.
