Your Travel Guide @ Beachview Vacations
FEBRUARY 10, 2021
Golf Digest listed Orange County as one of the World’s 50 Greatest Golf Destinations. And once you step onto the greens, you’ll see why.
Each course in Newport Beach is a hole in one – but for their own reasons! Some are over-the-top breath-taking, while some are a terrific bang for your buck. We take you through the in’s and out’s of 3 of the best courses in and around Newport Beach so you can be sure to choose the course that’s best for you and your crew.
Let’s Start with the I’m-on-Vacation Course
Pelican Hill Golf Club: Situated at the top of a hill overlooking the ocean, Pelican Hill is a hotel/restaurant/golf course complex that’s more palace than resort. At this prestigious piece of property, there’s not one, but two impeccable courses. With every detail designed by Tom Fazio, these sister courses weave their way through stunning terrain and panoramic vistas to perfectly complement the coastal landscape. And while reservations are tough to get, it’ll be worth the hassle. But save your pocket change! One round of golf will cost you more than $300. Hot tip: book a twilight tee time and you’ll get views of the sunset as well as a nice discount.
