Pelican Hill refuses to coast
Irvine Co. will close the two golf courses there while it constructs a 5-star resort.
The Irvine Co. will shut down its ocean-view golf courses at Pelican Hill for two years as it builds an all-inclusive resort called Pelican Hill at Newport Coast. Construction will begin later this summer. The resort, designed to attract world travelers to the Orange County coastline, will offer a 204-room hotel managed by the Irvine Co. and 128 vacation villas perched above the Pacific.
