Nice scenery

Good golf course. Only problem for me was the water on the 6th hole on the East Course. Good spacing between golfers so never had to wait or to keep people waiting. Greens and fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. I would definitely play it again.

Tough Greens

The course was in very good condition. A few wet spots in the fairways. Greens were in great shape though not fast. I am usually quite good at reading greens but these were difficult. You need to walk around the hole to get a good read.

Greens need work.

The round was very slow. At times there were as many as five groups on one hole.

Green speed was inconsistent. Top dressed with sand leaving clumps of sand all over the greens.

Still in need of some cleanup after Matthew.

Cart paths in bad shape.

Great Course

I rated the course condition a 3 only because of the amount of water after the rains. They said they've had 14" of rain this year and 7" in the last 2 weeks of September, we were told to expect a wet course. So they can't avoid that, however the water was managed excellent, we played a few other courses and Pearl West was by far the driest course we played. Had it not been a downpour for the week before we played, the condition of the course would've been 5 star. Definitely a great course, would highly recommend it. Mixes distance with precision shots well. Great layout, friendly staff that really helped out. The grounds crew were doing everything they could to get the water off the course and it showed. They did as well as they could with the amount of rain in the past week.

Pretty Course

Very nice course and an excellent staff. Course conditions were a little sloppy but only because of the excessive rain. Would love to play it again when it dries up and the overseeding is done. Pretty course with great views on the finishing holes.

Fun Course Worth Playing

Had played the East prior but first time on the West; the Pearl has 36 fun holes of golf. Played Pearl West on Labor Day which was a few days after a tropical storm doused the area. So the greens were very soft and very slow. Lots of water on the course and most bunkers had standing water. Otherwise the course was in good shape with only a few greens with bare spots and few spotty tee boxes. Good layout with a nice variety of lengths with all par 5s being on the long side. Nice finishing scenic holes along the Calabash river.

Only complaint was that I had intentionally booked the 1st tee time (7:30) as a single on GolfNow with the intent of playing in 2 1/2 hours. When I arrived at the course they said they had a policy of no singles off as the 1st tee time and had me wait for a twosome that had the 8:00 time. Still got around in about 3 1/2 hours and enjoyed the pairing.

Great layout poor conditions

My father and I played the West course, the course had a very good layout with fairly tight drives on the front 9 and a little more open on the back. The problem was that the greens had been saturated and balls plugged on every green, the largest plugs I have ever seen actually. The greens were spotty and threadbare in spots as well. It wasn't very expensive so not terrible for the money. The starters were very helpful, we did have the first time of the day so that might account for the soggy green conditions.

Not bad.

I played the west. It was in great shape. Course is above average for the area. And price was about average. Was drier than other courses in the area for amount of rain that had been put down in days before we played. Definitely worth the money?

Vanilla Review

Course layout okay. Greens were ridiculously soft and slow. Really unusual process by starters. If you want to warm up on the range or putting green count on carrying your bag . Not a bad experience but would choose not to play the course again
