Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Pelican Beach Golf Course, especially considering the coastal weather?

We always recommend visiting Pelican Beach in the spring or fall - think April-May or October-November. You'll find the winds are generally more manageable, and the humidity hasn't ramped up, making for a much more enjoyable round with those stunning ocean views.

What are the signature holes or unique challenges at Pelican Beach Golf Course that I should really look out for?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th; it's a beauty playing directly over a marshy inlet to a well-guarded green, often with pelicans watching your shot. The biggest challenge here is consistently judging the coastal crosswinds, which can turn a simple approach into a real test of skill.

How well-maintained is Pelican Beach Golf Course, and what can I expect from the playing surfaces?

You'll find Pelican Beach generally in excellent shape, especially the greens which roll true and fast, a real pleasure to putt on. The fairways are lush, but expect some firm lies in drier periods, which is typical for a course so close to the ocean.

Is playing Pelican Beach Golf Course worth the green fee, and what's the typical cost range?

Absolutely, we think Pelican Beach offers great value for a coastal track, especially if you book a twilight tee time. Expect green fees to range from $90-$150 depending on the season and time of day, which is fair for the quality of the course and those unforgettable ocean vistas.

Beyond the golf, what unique natural elements or wildlife can I expect to encounter at Pelican Beach?

True to its name, you'll almost certainly spot pelicans gracefully diving for fish in the surrounding waters and marshes, especially around the back nine. It’s a fantastic bonus to the round, offering a real sense of place and a reminder of the beautiful coastal ecosystem you're playing through.
