Club Pelican Bay

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I play Club Pelican Bay if I'm not a member?

This is a truly private club, so your best bet is to secure an invitation from a current member. We recommend reaching out to your network; you might be surprised who has a connection. Playing as a guest is the only way to experience these pristine fairways.

What makes the 27-hole layout at Club Pelican Bay unique?

Unlike many courses, Club Pelican Bay offers three distinct nines-the Club, the Bay, and the Pelican-each with its own character and challenges. This means you can play multiple rounds without feeling like you're repeating yourself, a real bonus for longer stays. We particularly enjoy the variety in shot-making required across all three loops.

When is the best time of year to visit Club Pelican Bay for optimal golf conditions?

We highly recommend visiting between November and April; the weather is absolutely perfect for golf, with comfortable temperatures and low humidity. While this is peak season, the course is meticulously managed to ensure an unhurried pace of play for members and their guests. You'll avoid the intense summer heat and afternoon thunderstorms.

What kind of golf experience should I expect at Club Pelican Bay?

Expect a meticulously maintained course where every detail is considered, from the pristine bunkers to the quick, true greens. The atmosphere is refined but welcoming, focusing on an enjoyable round rather than an overly stuffy one. You'll find a challenging but fair test of golf, designed to be walked if you choose.

Are there any signature holes or specific challenges I should prepare for at Club Pelican Bay?

While all 27 holes are strong, keep an eye out for the water features that come into play on several holes, especially on the Bay and Pelican nines. The greens are often subtly contoured, demanding precise iron play and a good read. We always advise paying close attention to pin positions here; they can make a huge difference.
