About this course

The Club at Pelican Bay's South Course in Daytona Beach is a Lloyd Clifton design that serves the residential community of Pelican Bay. Clifton, a Florida-based architect active primarily in the latter decades of the twentieth century, designed numerous courses throughout the state, typically working within the constraints of residential development and the region's characteristic flat terrain and water management requirements. His work generally emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural features available in coastal Florida settings. The South Course occupies land typical of the Daytona Beach area, where elevation changes are minimal and water features often play significant roles both for drainage and strategic purposes. The routing likely incorporates lakes, wetlands, and native vegetation that define hole corridors and create visual interest across the relatively level landscape. Palm trees, live oaks, and other subtropical plantings frame fairways, while the proximity to the Atlantic coast influences wind conditions that can affect play throughout the year. As part of a private club serving a residential community, the South Course functions as an amenity for members and their guests. The course provides a familiar Florida golf experience where accuracy and course management typically matter more than raw distance, and where water hazards demand thoughtful shot placement. The layout reflects the practical considerations of residential golf course design from its era, balancing challenge with accessibility for regular member play.
