A day on the greens or in the blue.

Of course, it wouldn't be a complete Southern California experience without a round (or two or three) of championship golf on one of the nation's most picturesque courses. Neighboring Pelican Hill Golf Course is situated on nearly 400 acres of undulating greens with awe-inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean. Designed by renowned course architect Tom Fazio, Pelican Hill's 36 holes of challenging play offers a pure slice of paradise.
