I played when it was two eighteen hole courses, East and West. Seems like they

removed a few of the great golf holes, but it’s always a challenging day on the

links.

Loooong Day at the Pearl

Felt the course was not in good shape as we were not allowed to drive on fairways du to seeding.. Round took 5 1/2 hours as the were usually 3 different groups on each hole. I understand the course wants to make money, however where is the consideration for the paying customers. I thought they should have told us the restrictions on golf now when we made the reservations a week before. Had to wait on every shot for the 2 groups ahead of us on every hole. Would not return again.

Great track, needs work

I thought the original design was very strong. Multiple tees, good greens, and well bunkered. Fit and finish needs some work.

Slow Round

The round took 5 1/2 hours (poor). Could not drive on fairways which were not in great shape. Too many people playing for conditions of course. Not worth money or time.
