Only for the $$

Made a tee time as a single player on Golf Now. When arrived there was a large group 8-10 foursomes. Starter said would get me out but was not too interested and sort of blew me off as he was focused on chatting with the large group. I told the starter I was going to the putting green about 20 yds away. After about 40 minutes I asked the starter about status of my tee time. He said I missed my time because they could not find me and said he would work out something. Apparently didn’t look to hard Finally got out about 50 min later than my tee time with a very nice twosome. We played the front in about 2 hours and waited on every hole. When we made the turn we were now behind additional groups as they double tee. After 14 holes I was 4 hours into the round ( not counting the 50 min delayed start). I left. They are really not about providing an enjoyable golf experience but rather how many folks they can collect greens fees. There are too many other fine golf course in Myrtle Beach where I can enjoy a round.

Good course which has changed a little in the last few years

Played as a twosome on a very blustery, cool and windy day as hurricane Ian was approaching. Last time we played here, there was an 18 hole east course and an 18 hole west course (that was a few years ago). This time, there were three 9-hole courses, East, West and North. We played West and East. Our golf watches still had the old east and west courses though, and the carts didn't have GPS but after a few holes we figured out that t least on our GPS watches, the new East course was playing like what used to be the back nine of the former East course and the new West course seemed to be the back nine of the former West course. Not sure how North would fit in here so come prepared or hopefully your golf watches will be better updated than ours. Women's bathroom on the West course was out of order. On the East course, there aren't any bathrooms along the course. On the East course, there were 4 par 3-s so next time I'd probably ask to play the North course instead and the par 3-s are quite a bit shorter than I prefer (basically it seemed like each was about 100 yards to the pin) from the red tees. Interesting holes. Fun course to play.

Pretty course

Course was well maintained. Guys were mowing and trimming everywhere. Tee boxes and greens in good shape. Some nice Marsh views. Cart paths a little rough in places. Couldn't load carts at car or take to range. Cart guys and pro shop guys were good. Saw drink cart several times but only took cash.

great course and conditions

Conditions were the best we have had in North Myrtle Beach area. Fairways, greens and tees were all in excellent shape. we had a rain storm that stopped us for about 20 minutes, but the fairways and greens drained very well. Traps were a problem, but I expect that after that much rain. the course is beautiful with a nice challenge and variety of holes.

Fun to play and beautiful as well!!

Excellent course and a wonderful staff as well. Had bad weather and was delayed for a couple hours due to rain. Staff was wonderful in making sure everyone was taken care of and very hospitable for those of us who waited out the weather. Course is beautiful and challenging but was forgiving enough to still allow you to play free. Even after the heavy rain the course was still excellent to play with the exception of a few tee boxes which were a little bare to say the least. Would definitely play again and recommend.

Great course

Surprisingly good. I read the reviews and thought it would be nice, but it certainly exceeded my expectations. Course was in great shape, the price was ridiculous. Great value for the money. No complaints. Would like to play discourse regularly if it was an option

Still lovin it

Layout is solid. Course with rare exception is in great shape. Bunkers washed out, but we have had tons of rain in last two weeks. Greens roll good at moderately quick pace. Staff friendly and responsive. Great QPR. This will become a go to course for me now that I have a home in the area

Great shape and a great design!

Overall, the Pearl (west/east) was in great condition with the exception of the tee boxes. Boxes were very barren of grass. Fairways and greens were in excellent shape and the greens rolled exceptionally well! Staff and clubhouse plus amenities are top notch! Unlike some in the area this course gives you plenty of opportunity to tee off with driver.
