Overview
Why it matters
Ocean South is Pelican Hill at its most cinematic: Tom Fazio lines, Pacific bluffs, immaculate turf, and service that makes the round feel choreographed without losing the salt air. The course is less about brute length than angles, breeze, and the indulgence of playing golf where Orange County drops into the ocean.
