A Pearl Plus Experience

Other than some mosquitos and some wet spots due to recent heavy rain, a great day. The staff is quite friendly. Beautiful course with excellent greens. No rake in traps due to Covid - no problem. since they must drag the traps nightly. Fairways are great too - wish I hit more of them though. Bring some mosquito repellent and enjoy a great round at an excellent course run by super nice staff..

The Pearl no longer shines

The Pearl is no longer a 36 hole complex as they have closed the East course holes 3-11 only playing holes 1,2 & 12-18. With the exception of the last two holes on the East nine, the East course’s conditions have become horrendous...bare tee boxes & fairways on holes 13-17 makes one wonder why they just don’t abandon the East course totally. The West course (we only played the original back nine) is in pristine condition. So sad to see this gem literally die off. Unless they go with just the West course only, this will no longer be in our rotation.

Wet weather
Used cart

nice track....bad mosquitoes

Course was nice and in good condition. Staff was not very friendly. We preferred not to use the bag drop due to COVID-19. We asked to take a cart to the parking lot and were told no. Then we saw two other groups pick up carts and take them to the parking lot to get their clubs. Must treat tourist different than locals. Also, the mosquitoes were the wort I have ever seen....so take bug spray!

Just Alright

After playing Farmstead and Thistle for about the same price (actually Farmstead was $12 less local rate) the Pearl was a disappointment.. i must say the greens were excellent though.

Enjoyable Round

I was a single and paired with a member. Went our own pace on East course (1st out on that 9) and had to wait a little for the back nine (North).

My GPS was not correct due to reconfiguring of holes but was able to figure out what holes were removed.

Very wet. Played East instead of West for front 9 because only 1 hole was cart path only. East had 4 holes cart path only other than the par 3s.

Very challenging but fair. Need to have fairly straight tee shots.

Nice course, holes not linked to SwingU

Course was nice, very well-kept. They are changing the layout of the course (homes to be built) and it does not line up with apps like SwingU and others. It made my GPS distance not work for the course. Other than that really enjoyed it.

Don't miss it

Played the North and west nines. Which is the old west course. 3 hour round, only two of us. Course was in excellent shape. Greens rolled extremely well. Not to fast or slow, they held there lines. Ask your packaging company to include it in your next quote as it is good value.
