In the April 2012 issue of Condé Nast Traveler, readers ranked Pelican Hill Golf Club as California’s Top Golf Resort. In the magazine’s most recent readers’ choice survey, The Resort at Pelican Hill was voted Top U.S. Resort. These rankings were derived from Condé Nast Traveler’s 2011 Readers’ Choice survey, based upon the tabulation of tens of thousands of survey responses. Spas ratings are based upon three criteria: Spa Facilities, Spa Staff and Spa Treatments.
