West to East

I booked the West course on Golfnow. There were several large groups going off at about the same time as me. The starter asked if I would play the East course, which I did, and I wasn't disappointed. After about a 30 minute delay at the start, the pace was pretty good. Some really nice holes for sure, especially 17 and 18. I would definitely play this course again and would like to play the West course.

So nice played it twice.

Was there on a golf trip with a friend. We played on Wednesday for 47.98 in afternoon. We enjoyed it so much we played it again on Friday morning for 55.00 before we left town. Well maintained friendly staff and good pace of play. Great find on golf now app. Great layout. Lots of water I found lol. Will come back and play again next time I am down there.

Great course!

The staff could not have been friendlier- from the bag drop workers and the starter right down to the club house staff, everyone we met had a smile on their face and seemed genuinely interested in us having a great day. The course itself was in good shape- the bunkers has plenty of sand in them, the greens rolled true, and the fairways were ok. I loved the layout of the course! There are some great risk-reward holes here. My ONLY complaint was that I didn't see a single ball washer on the entire course! I would play here again without question.

Another MB Gem

Hadn't played The Pearl courses in some years and found some holes still held memories of previous rounds. Great Dan Maples layout. Greens were a bit slower compared to other courses played the last two weeks but putted true- just hard to adjust to the speed.

Really enjoyed playing here and will definitely be bsck.

Good course you should play

Great course that forces you to hit a variety of tee shots. Enjoyed the course and will play again. Greens were slow but that probably had to do with the time of year.

Great property

not the usual golf through a housing development. the East course is set in a pine forest where a house can't be seen until the 17th hole. Very enjoyable. Pace of play was outstanding for a Sunday morning. The greens were very good though - lots of grass on them. Few blind shots; generous off the tee. Good value and definite repeat.

Great greens, friendly and helpful staff

Arrived at course 10 minutes before tee time, staff was very inviting and helpful facilitating verification of Golf Now arrangements, very spot on. Course was great in layout, overseeded fairways little coarse, but to be expected. Greens were consistent and fair, in very good shape. Will definitely be back to play West Course. Highly recommended for any level of golfer.

BEST SO FAR

This course was the best course we have played since arriving in MB. Totally enjoyed this course and the finishing holes are really great. However, we did have a few issues with slow play both times we played. Not sure why, as we never encountered this issue on the East course when we played twice there. Found the condition of the course to be pretty good and the best we had encountered since arriving in MB. The only course we found in better condition for the month was when we played Fazio at Barefoot. I would recommend the East and West courses as a good place to play for the money and would go back and play them again.

NOW THIS IS BETTER

I have written a few reviews about the courses we visited while being in MB for the month. I have to say, this is the first course we really enjoyed. While being still narrow and tree lined, the finishing holes along the water were great. The course was in better condition then most of the courses we have played to date and that helps. We ended up playing this course twice and want to play the west course too.
