Pelican Hill Golf Club
Pelican Hill Golf Club features two excellent 18-hole championship courses designed by Tom Fazio. Deep ocean views to the horizon guide all 18 tee shots on the North Course. Open canyons and elevated plateaus with a palette of a hundred colours contrast the distinct green edges of the fairways and greens. One can feel complete isolation on this course with several holes playing along the cliff's edge. Ocean South is a flow of contrasts: from brush gardens framed by sage and eucalyptus trees to a green, virtual moonscape, dropped at every side by deep chasms. The sheer variety of vegetation on the South Course makes playing it a visual and aural feast. Several holes permit 270 degree views of the vast Pacific Ocean.

The Links at Spanish Bay
Spanish Bay recalls the original Scottish concept for the game of golf, established over five hundred years ago. This was the intention of the design team, Robert Trent Jones Jr., Tom Watson and Sandy Tatum, in their creation of a true links golf course. Links is an old Scottish word for sandy wasteland, usually near the sea, with bristly grasses and ever prevailing wind. The Links at Spanish Bay are so authentic that even the Monterey coastline mirrors the rugged, natural beauty of Scotland. Here, the golf course provides you with the choice of using your regular shot or a low, running shot to play the firm turf while keeping the ball under the steady ocean breezes.
