Burnt Store Marina & Country Club (Pelican/Heron)

Overview: Pelican/Heron is the 18-hole pairing of two Burnt Store Marina nines in Punta Gorda. It combines the par-31 Pelican loop, associated with Mark McCumber, with the par-31 Heron loop for a compact executive-style round at the marina.

History: Burnt Store’s current golf identity is built around three nine-hole loops, Heron, Osprey, and Pelican, with multiple combinations available. Pelican/Heron is one of those named pairings; the sources do not establish a separate opening year for this specific route.

Did You Know? Pelican/Heron is the highest-par pairing among the three published 18-hole combinations because both component nines are listed at par 31. The routing also puts the longer Pelican loop before the distinctive Heron finish on the scorecard.
