Thinking About Living in Pelican Lakes Golf & Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Pelican Lakes Golf & Country Club and the surrounding Boulder / Northern Colorado golf market.
Pelican Lakes Golf & Country Club is the golf centerpiece of Water Valley, a large master-planned community in Windsor built around the Cache la Poudre River and five lakes. Ted Robinson Sr. designed the 18-hole Lakes Course, which opened for play in 1999 and earned a 4-star Golf Digest rating in 2005; a companion 9-hole Pelican Falls Course brings the facility to 27 total holes. The course's own marketing claims the most shoreline of any golf course in the United States, reflecting how deeply the water-and-golf identity is built into both the course and the surrounding community's branding.
Access is semi-private: the course sells public tee times alongside yearly memberships that add priority tee-time access, league and tournament play. This is a softer barrier to entry than most of this batch's other qualifying anchors, but the residential-integration case is unusually strong and well-documented -- Water Valley's own marketing, HOA structure, and multiple newer sub-neighborhoods (including the Trumark-built Pelican Shores patio-home community) are organized explicitly around the golf-and-lakes identity, distinguishing this from a case like Colorado National Golf Club, which is also semi-private but lacks a comparable purpose-built community identity.
Golf & Course
Ted Robinson Sr.'s Lakes Course (18 holes, opened 1999, 4-star Golf Digest rating in 2005) uses the Poudre River as its centerpiece; the 9-hole Pelican Falls Course adds a shorter complementary option, bringing the facility to 27 total holes.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Base access is public daily-fee tee times. A yearly membership adds priority tee-time access plus member-only leagues and tournaments. No home-purchase-included or mandatory membership model was found -- membership is available to residents and non-residents alike on the same terms.
Living in Pelican Lakes Golf & Country Club
Water Valley is explicitly built and marketed around Pelican Lakes and its five community lakes; newer phases such as Pelican Shores (Trumark Homes) continue that identity with low-maintenance patio homes. The community's own HOA materials describe lake access as reserved specifically for Water Valley residents, a genuine resident-exclusive benefit distinct from -- and not to be confused with -- golf club membership.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Water Valley overall spans golf, lake recreation (boating, private docks/beach access on some homes), tennis courts and an outdoor pool maintained by the HOA, and a golf-cart-friendly street layout -- a broader lake-and-golf lifestyle identity beyond the course itself.
