The Ocean North at Pelican Hill Golf Club
Played On 02/11/2018Excellent Resort Golf
Played Pelican Hill for the first time today. Really fun course and worth the money. The North course was challenging and fair. There are a lot of great vistas and and some awesome canyon golf.

-Carts are brand new and nice with a non-intrusive GPS.
-The course is in excellent shape. Great greens that run quick.
-Excellent locker room and amenities.
-Challenging design. Every hole feels unique. There's a lot of strategy needed.
-Ocean views!
-Valet parking, excellent service.
-All day breakfast burritos.
Negatives:
-Not inexpensive
-Ryan in the golf shop was curt and unwelcoming.
-Range hits off artificial grass.
Sandpiper Golf Course
Played On 02/10/2018Fun Track. Ocean Views. Still disappointed.
My first time out to Sandpiper. I’ve wanted to play this place for a while. There are a lot of positives. I had high expectations considering the greens fee, but ultimately left being happy I played, but skeptical that I would ever come back.
Positives:
-Great layout. Every hole is interesting and the routing up and down the hills is pretty thrilling. It reminds me of Ojai meets Torrey South.
-The staff was really friendly and accommodating. The facilities are nice.
-The range is all grass and you get balls with your round.
-The pace of play was good and they were keeping tabs on the timing.
-The greens were challenging.
Negatives:
-The course conditions are bad. It’s part drought and part bad agronomy. It’s not just that is hasn’t rained, there are a lot of areas that seem more like a potato field than a golf course. It was also muddy in a lot of places. There was a lot of over watered areas mixed in. Lots of mud and chunky spots.
-The greens fee is offensively overpriced. It’s $320 to play Trump National in PV. That’s really expensive, but the course is pristine. This place is in bad shape and getting $200. I can assure you it’s not going back into the course. I would rather play somewhere nice than go here just for ocean views.
Other:
-One review mentioned “blazing fast” greens. They are in decent shape, but we’re running at about an 8.
