Lady friendly Course

This course seemed really well maintained. My only quirt with it was my putting. The greens are really firm and fast which is not the norm for me. I three putted just about all the greens. This is a really nice course and would recommend it to my golfing friends.

Nice Classic Layout

We had a great start overall. (Slight delay due to frosty conditions on the course ).
Certainly worth the drive up there if you should be in the Mrytile Beach area.

Really glad to play this course

I had been told by friends that the Pearl was dryer than most courses in the area and they were correct. The west course was accessible by cart on many holes and the greens were true. Can't wait to bring my wife here during our January stay.

Want to play again

I played on a tough day with temps in the mid-40's with a 15 mph wind. There were a good number of maintenance workers taking care of the course.

I look forward to playing the course again on another trip to Myrtle Beach.

very impressed

Excellent mix of holes...first rate greens.. Although the Myrtle area suffered from heavy rains/ flooding this track has soldiered through and come out a winner. If you are in the area, go play it.

The Pearl is a Gen

This was our first time to the Pearl East. Conditions were wet and it was CPO. The setting is ideal. No housing on the course. Every hole was very scenic and the setting is quite serene. Greens were good, not great. Played as a twosome at 11:30 am and it was almost like we had the course to ourselves. Finished in under four hours. Definitely worth a return visit.

Good value for a Hot Deal

Played Saturday Nov 14. Not many people on the course so pace was pretty much determined by how we played. The course was wet in several places. The fairways had high grass because the mowers could not get to a lot of spots due to the wet conditions. Greens were ok but had some bare spots. For the price we paid it was a very good deal. I would probably not pay full price here until we have a dry spell

Pearl East

The course had a lot of standing water from all the rain received in the previous 5 days but it was still an enjoyable day as the sun was shining all day. Due to the standing water, you had to hit the ball in the air most of the way as you got very little roll after the ball would land. The greens were in good shape and were the only part of the course with no standing water.

West Was Fun

My wife and I played the West course and had a great time. It was a bit long for her from the Red tees but wasn't unfair and other than the odd 18, there are no tricky holes. It was a great value and I can't wait to come back and play the East course.

Poor conditions

The course is very pretty with a nice layout. We played the east course, which had a lot of trees and was challenging if you weren't in the fairways. That's about all that was good. The greens were true, but ridiculously slow. They were probably a half inch thick. They claimed to be in overseeding season, but NOTHING was even trimmed. Fairways and tee boxes were no different. Hopefully the conditions get better as the overseeding comes to an end. Most reviews we read prior to going, bragged about how fast the greens were. So that was disappointing. We stopped at the turn for food on the Go, and our order was screwed up. As ordering, the 3 gentlemen before us had their order screwed up as well. I won't play here again, unless I'm here in the summer, which I probably won't be.

Not bad for the $$.

Older course that still has been maintain to keep up with other top courses. Pace of play wasn't too bad, but I think the first tee time helped. Only 4:30 hrs to play. A couple greens had some burn on them, but all the rest were pretty neatly manicured. Definitely recommend.

Excellent experience at Pearl East

The course was really in good shape and is an excellent design. The greens could have been in better shape (they weren't bad, just not as smooth as one might expect). I really enjoyed the day. It will certainly be on my list of courses to play the next time I am in Calabash.
