My fav value track

Honestly, for value you can't go wrong here. Layout is very nice and deceptively forgiving. I personally love the challenge of the smaller greens but some of them could use a little TLC, only a handful really had noticeable blotchiness and mud patches that i wish they would just put a "ground under repair sign" so you don't have to putt through it and be angry when you miss. Tee boxes and fairways in decent - good shape, rough was kind of meh (they keep it very low so you'll never lose a ball), sand i was expecting to be like concrete and was actually very very decent and well kept. So at the end of the day why play this course? Their staff are genuinely just so so so kind and helpful and they set the tone for the whole course, it really feels like a nice laid back track filled with some very nice golfers. You'll finish your round in 2 - 2.5 hours easy and the practice amenities aren't half bad with a 250 yard range ($8 i think for a bucket), chipping area and practice green. Helpful tip play this course in the morning when there is still some dew on the ground because it's very manageable when wet and when you can take a proper divot. If you play later morning or high noon the course dries up very fast and can be a little less forgiving especially around the greens with lies on hard ground.

Course has an older style layout. Small greens and some doglegs. Pace of play was great finished in just over 2 hrs only had to wait on 4 holes toward the end of the round. Recommend course for a quick practice round using a $10 coupon price was right.

Winter in Florida

The clubhouse isn’t open for food or beverages since Covid..

Small greens some in need of repair pin placement would take care of most issues.
Water along most fairways not really in play .

Pleasantly surprised

Was apprehensive about playing here due to the negative reviews. But was pleasantly surprised and had a great time. Yes the greens have issues, but the tee boxes, fairways and rough were fine. Bunkers were groomed and filled with quality sand. The course winds through a beautiful community of private homes, with canals and wildlife. Nice driving range and practice facilities. Had course to ourselves on a cold and windy Sunday. Great value at $25 with cart. If you’re expecting a country club experience, this is not your course. But if you don’t obsess over the imperfections, it’s a nice day of golf with great pace of play at bargain prices. Shout out to Tony from Huntsville Al, enjoyed playing with you bro.

The holes are followed by water on both sides. The greens are in terrible condition.

Overpriced/ no amenities

The price they charge for this course is unreasonable.
Greens are in fair condition some with patches of dirt
Bunkers are horrible not to mention there are no rakes available
Bathrooms on the course are a joke. Let’s just say it’s safer to use the woods.

Another great day at Pelican Bay

This is my 2nd time playing this course

The only knock on this great course is a very few patches of crab grass and a few bold spots on the greens

The staff are great and made suggestions on how to play this course

My score was 3 strokes better than my 1st round

In the future, this is the only course that I am going to play when I am in the Daytona Beach area

getting close

This course conditions have improved each of the last two years. The fairways and the tee boxes are much better. The greens are better, but there are a number of greens that still need to be worked upon. I would play it again for the price I got. Jim

Great value Great staff fairly easy course if you can hit it straight

3rd time playing this course. Can’t beat it for $20. Friendly staff. Fast paced and straight forward. Great for a quick round or beginner’s. It’s become my go to get out of the house course. I will definitely be back.

This was the best course that I have played in a month in Florida

The fairways were filled in and nicely groomed

The bunkers were groomed and did not have any crab grass in them

Some of the greens had a few bare spots but generally the greens were in good shape and free of crab grass

The greens were a little slow but the ball rolled fairly true on most of them

With water on both sides of most fairways, you had to hit the ball down the middle to avoid the penalties

This is a very picturesque course that you need to play if you are in the Daytona Beach area

Better than advertised

Many recent reviews told me that the course had little grass on tees,fairways and greens. I found that to be misleading. Greens did have some patchy spots but overall they had lots of grass and although a little slow they putted just fine. Fairways also had more grass than other Florida courses for this time of year. Pace of play wasn’t that bad as we played with an older couple who hit many shots and we still finished in 4:10. I would definitely recommend this course if you are in Daytona Beach.
