Frequently Asked Questions

How much does water truly come into play at Pelican Lakes, and what should I expect?

You'll find water on nearly every hole here, making course management paramount. Don't be surprised if you're reaching for an extra ball or two, especially if your irons aren't dialed in. It's a beautiful challenge, but definitely brings a target golf mentality.

When is the best time of year to play Pelican Lakes for optimal conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall. The Colorado weather is usually perfect then, and the course conditions are at their peak, offering firm fairways and true-rolling greens without the intense summer heat or early spring chill. You'll get the best experience and value during these shoulder seasons.

Beyond the obvious water, what's the most unique challenge or signature feature at Pelican Lakes?

The island green on Hole 17 is absolutely the signature moment here - it's a true test of nerve and precision. You'll also encounter some surprisingly undulating greens that demand a sharp short game, so don't just focus on avoiding the water. It's a course that rewards thoughtful play, not just brute force.

Is Pelican Lakes a good fit for all skill levels, or is it geared towards more experienced players?

While the water can intimidate, Pelican Lakes offers multiple tee boxes, making it surprisingly playable for a range of handicaps. We suggest choosing your tees wisely to match your game; lower handicappers will love the challenge from the tips, while higher handicappers can still enjoy the scenic beauty and a fair round from the forward tees.

What's one crucial piece of advice for someone playing Pelican Lakes for the first time?

Our top tip is to trust your yardage and commit to your shots, especially over the water. Don't try to over-swing or play hero shots; a conservative approach often yields better results here. Also, consider bringing extra balls - it's a beautiful course, but it will test your accuracy.
