About this course

Ocean South occupies bluffs above the Pacific at Newport Coast, one of two Tom Fazio courses at Pelican Hill. It opened in 1991, ahead of its companion Ocean North, and closed for a substantial Fazio-led renovation between 2005 and 2007. The routing works downhill toward the water, with a stretch of holes playing along the coast and horizon views toward Catalina Island. As the shorter and more compact of the resort's two courses, it plays to a par of 70 and asks for accuracy and shot-shaping rather than length. Coastal exposure and steady elevation change give it a character clearly distinct from its sibling.

Strawberry Farms Golf Club

Irvine, CA · 5.2 mi away

Strawberry Farms Golf Club is located in the hills of Irvine, California, west of Interstate 405, on land that includes a former strawberry ranch on its front nine and a canyon setting on its back nine. The course was designed by architect Jim Lipe, who worked with the Jack Nicklaus design company, and it opened to the public in November 1997. The clubhouse and cart facilities were built to evoke an old farm, with a farmhouse-style clubhouse and a barn-style cart building. The course plays to a par of 71 across 18 holes, measuring about 6,712 yards from the back tees. Strawberry Farms operates as a daily fee public course with tee times available for booking directly through the club.
