The Resort

Pelican Hill is an illustrious name, evoking images of the glorious Southern California coastline, and is a luxury beach and golf resort like no other. Its setting is Newport Beach, one of the most desirable and upscale postcodes in the United States, and Pelican Hill offers direct access onto the unspoiled sandy beaches, plus access to the sought-after attractions of the Golden State.

Golfers and gourmands are spoiled in equal measures at Pelican Hill, where two outstanding championship courses from Tom Fazio form the basis of a stunning golfing complex, while seasonal, local produce are central to the resort's clutch of sublime restaurants. A drive of less than 50 miles down the coast on Route 1 from Los Angeles will bring you to one of the world's most impressive golf holiday destinations.

Golf

Unrivalled service and access to not one but two phenomenal Tom Fazio designed courses are the primary reasons why Pelican Hill is ranked as one of the premier golfing destinations in the United States. Fazio is among the elite of modern era golf course architects, and he was fortunate to be presented with a remarkable parcel of land on which to map out the Pelican Hill courses; hugging the stunning Pacific coast with its pure sandy beaches and rugged cliffs, this is land heaven-sent for golf.

The Ocean South - Pelican Hill's original - has now been joined by the Ocean South, and together they offer a splendid golfing experience. Challenging and irresistibly beautiful, Pelican Hill operates a 'forecaddie' system, so each group will have a guide and spotter to assist in the enjoyment of the spectacular California golf resort.
