Are the mowers broke?

Tee boxes haven been mowed in a long time...greens haven't been mowed in a long time...fairways haven't been mowed in a long time...range tees unmowed...garbage. Course has been so nice in the past, layout is great. Horrible experience this trip. Won't be back again.

I get that they probably were in an over seeding phase, but there was no warning of the awful conditions. You couldn't even walk up to the green without sinking in mud greenside. Fairways were soaked as well. It hasn't rained significantly in the area for a few weeks!

Course needs some attention

We were very disappointed with the condition of the course. Tee boxes were not mowed, greens had debri all over them and they were more than just slow! The 'bathrooms' on the course were beyond awful. The toilets were black and rodent infested. If you can't keep up a bathroom then please don't offer one.

This course could be very nice if some attention was given to it. The layout it nice but it wasn't worth $50.

Non-Stressful Course

Enjoyable course that is well maintained, except for the rough cart path which needs some work. Only complaint is that it lacks ball washers on carts and course.

Nice layout and good challenge.

I really enjoyed the course. (East). Leave you driver in the bag as there are several tight landing areas and hazards within range of the tees. I'll play it again.

Nice course--good value

Our group really enjoyed the round at Pearl-West. Course was in good condition. Greens were plush and held very well. Greens were s little on the slow side however. The layout was standard Myrtle Beach with tall pines and plenty of sand and water. Not a lot of memorable holes, but 16 and 18 were both par 5's and very challenging and memorable. Just one criticism--we couldn't figure out why there were no ball washers on the course or on the carts?

Overall, a good value at $31 on GN.

Nice Course

Played with the family on vacation. Have played many courses in Myrtle Beach area but this was the first time I have traveled into North Carolina to play. Played the Pearl West and pardon the pun but it truly was a pearl. Course was in good shape for the heat of August. Nice wide fairways and very receptive greens. Maybe a tad over watered but they held every shot that hit them and they rolled true. Unlike a lot of courses in Myrtle that you have to finesse your way around, the Pearl allowed for full swing and shot making. Truly enjoyed it and look forward to getting back there to play it again.

Great course for vacation stay

Me and the wife played here over vacation and it was perfect for the two of us. Only issue was with the Golf Now app and directions. You should just put the address in instead of using the API to go the map.

SLOW

We had members (or regulars) in front of us and they slowed the whole course. We finally saw a course employee on the 17th, but he was only a maintenance man. Never saw a Ranger the whole round. I would estimate it was almost a 6 hour round.

As this was my first time playing here, I am not certain how long a regular round should take, but when the 4 some in front of our 3 some walked (off their carts) back almost 100 yards looking for their ball and found it, I would say that is poor golf etiquette. There were holes open in front of them.

After the round I told the employee in the pro shop and all I got was an "Oh, sorry"
