Pelican Hill Golf Club, Newport Beach

Pelican Hill Golf Club is a dramatic oceanfront golf sanctuary where rolling fairways, coastal cliffs, and the endless blue of the Pacific create one of the most breathtaking rounds in American golf.

Located along the Newport Coast bluffs between Laguna Beach and Corona del Mar within the grounds of The Resort at Pelican Hill, this championship golf destination operates as a pair of Tom Fazio, designed courses celebrated for their sweeping ocean panoramas and meticulously sculpted layouts. The experience begins the moment you step onto the first tee. The Pacific stretches across the horizon while coastal breezes move gently through the fairways. Every hole feels carved into the landscape with intention, winding across hillsides and valleys where the ocean remains in constant view.

Pelican Hill Golf Club stands among the most celebrated coastal golf properties in the United States.

The resort features two 18-hole courses, Ocean North and Ocean South, both designed by renowned architect Tom Fazio to maximize the dramatic natural terrain of Newport Coast. Rather than force the land into rigid shapes, the courses were designed to flow with the rolling topography of the cliffs and coastal hills. The result is a layout where elevation changes, ocean breezes, and strategic bunkering shape every shot. The property sits atop land once used for ranching and coastal agriculture before evolving into one of Southern California's most prestigious resort developments.

Pelican Hill Golf Club fits beautifully into a luxury coastal escape along the Newport Coast.

Players often arrive early to warm up on the expansive practice facilities before beginning a round that unfolds slowly across the blufftop landscape. The ocean views encourage a pace that feels reflective rather than hurried, where golfers pause between shots to take in the surrounding scenery. After finishing the round, the nearby resort terraces and coastal overlooks offer an ideal place to relax while watching the sun settle over the Pacific, turning the entire coastline into a golden horizon.
