The Pearl East wasn't ..a "pearl"

While I got a great rate the pro in the shop, nor the starter informed us they had punched and top dressed the Greens. While driving in the West course greens looked perfect. The layout was fine, but at least tell me the greens have been top dressed with sand....

Greens punched one week ago

Greens were like being on the beach. Straight sand. Asked the guy in club house how the course was and he informed us about the greens. Said gold now had all the info and should have posted it. Wasn't his fault, he said. Cart girl met us on first tee to advise

She was leaving for the day.

Pearl East

Beautiful layout and views. Fairway was burnt up in spots and greens were nothing like the practice green. Practice green was immaculate where the playing greens were not so much. But overall, a great experience.

greens

nice looking bent grass greens. pace on the greens-slooooow. these greens were exceptional to look at. i talked to a worker on the course and asked him if the greens keeper had a stimpmeter. he had no idea what i was talking about. he did tell me the greens were aerofied about a week ago. they looked great, no holes, but they rolled like you were on shag carpeting, not much fun. advice to greens keeper, get a stimpmeter. you want a great course with great greens, get them rolling about a 9.

The Pearl lives up to its name

The Pearl is well maintained and is a great course for average players. It is challenging but not extreme. The staff was very friendly and the burgers in the bar were great!

Awesome course!

The course was in great shape! The weather was awesome 72 and partly sunny a perfect day for golf! I was playing the East course for the first time and found it to be a very beautiful and scenic course as well as challenging! The wildlife was out in abundance and plenty of scenic landscapes throughout the course. I would recommend this course to everyone !

Great course for the money

The staff was extremely friendly. The course has a really interesting layout. It's a very fair course. The greens were tough because they're all crowned and the pin placement that day was on swells on almost every hole and the speeds were not consistent from hole to hole, but overall it was really fun. I'd definitely play it again.

Wish rain had held off !!!

Got a CRAZY GOOD hot rate on GolfNow for my foursome. Arrived early to get warmed up and glad we did. Great staff interactions and got on course right on schedule. Course had a number of moderately challenging holes but it was the LONG par 5s (into the wind) that really pushed skill limits.

Got rained out of back nine but staff once again came through with rain checks for each player...THANKS!!

Nice course

The course was in great shape and had just enough challenges to where you have to hit good shots to score well, but it's not "unfair" to the average golfer. I would definitley play it again.
