The North Course at Pelican Hill is much better than the South(Ocean) Course, if you like vistas from nearly every spot on the tees, greens, fairways. Absolutely beautiful - even breathtaking. Ahhhh, a tear just fell from my eye. Seriously, this resort has everything and then some ... and the location is so unique that it's no wonder that Donald Bren calls this place his "baby." The resort is exquisite, with fine dining as well as places to sit on the lenai and watch the sunset with a cocktail while watching two enormous TVs in the Pelican Grill. There is often live music in the Grill that is well worth it as well. Bartenders rock: Wes and Gabe, especially! Oh, and we REALLY miss Caitlyn Bryant who took her "show" up to Los Angeles in pursuit of managing a high end sushi restaurant. She, my friend, was the finest host around! And Morgan, buddy, we'll miss you! Amanda, missing you too! Oh well, let's tee off!!!
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
