What to Expect
Transportation, timed to the tee sheet.
Pelican Golf Club sits at 1501 Indian Rocks Rd in Belleair, on the Pinellas coast just south of Clearwater, and it is the venue for The ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge at Pelican, an LPGA Tour event. That mix — a members’ course for most of the year and a tournament venue for part of it — means the people arriving are golfers, their guests, and visitors who have travelled a long way to watch. All of them arrive at an airport first.

Airport → Course Transfers
From the gate to the first tee.
Four airports reach Belleair and the right one usually depends on the fare rather than the map. St. Pete–Clearwater is the closest; Tampa International carries the most routes and is the one most visitors fly into. We run all four in both directions.
- TPA arrivals met at baggage claim, Level 1
- PIE, the closest gateway to Belleair
- SRQ from the south
- MCO cross-state, for the long arrival
Groups, Clubs & Luggage
The whole foursome, together.
Golf travels badly in a rental car and worse in a rideshare. A fourball with clubs, a corporate group out for the day, or a family coming to watch all move more easily in one pre-arranged vehicle with a chauffeur who knows where the course entrance is.
- GMC Yukon SUV, the usual choice with clubs aboard
- Capacity shown per vehicle before you book
- Several vehicles coordinated for larger parties
- Hotel-to-course runs through the stay
The Chauffeured Round-Trip
No one drives after the last round.
The ride back matters as much as the ride out. A round that finishes late, a long lunch in the clubhouse, or an evening in Clearwater all go better when nobody has to drive, and the return is booked exactly like the outbound leg.
- Return to the airport on your schedule
- Clearwater and Belleair hotel transfers
- Evening runs with nobody driving back
- Pickups moved when a round runs long

Airport Transportation
Four gateways reach the course.
Tampa International Airport
Our home airport and the one most visitors fly into — it carries by far the widest route network of the four, including the connecting and long-haul itineraries. We meet arrivals at baggage claim on Level 1 with a name board, track the inbound flight, and load the clubs ourselves.
St. Pete–Clearwater International Airport
The nearest commercial airport to Belleair, served mainly by low-cost and seasonal carriers. The terminal is small and the walk from gate to kerb is short, which is worth a great deal at the end of a travel day with a golf bag.
Sarasota–Bradenton International Airport
South across the bay, and a sensible choice if the fare is better or if Belleair is one stop on a wider Gulf-coast golf trip taking in the Sarasota and Bradenton courses.
Orlando International Airport
Across the state to the east, and often where an international fare lands. It is the longest of the four runs by a clear margin and is not the closest airport — but it is a straightforward private transfer, and usually the better end to a long flight than a connection or an unfamiliar cross-state drive.
The Neighborhood
Around the course.
Belleair is a quiet coastal town between Clearwater and the Gulf beaches, so a golf trip here usually picks up a hotel on Clearwater Beach, dinner off-property, and sometimes a second course up the Pinellas coast. Belleair Country Club — a separate, older club in the same town — is a few minutes away.

How Booking Works
From reservation to the range.
Send the trip
Your flight, the date and time, how many are travelling and how many bags. Enter it on the booking page and the fare comes back before you commit.
We meet you
Your chauffeur waits inside the terminal with a name board, loads the clubs, and drives straight to the club entrance on Indian Rocks Road.
And back again
The return leg is booked the same way. If the round runs long, move the pickup — that is a phone call, not a problem.
