Everything was great until the rain storm hit. It was raining so hard that we stopped playing and only were able to play 9 holes . The course was flooded

Inconsistent Greens

The West/East courses are well maintained, food fairway/rough demarcation, but the greens were inconsistent on both nines. The first few greens of the west course were slow and all of us left putts short. Then the next few were fast, and the putts took off. After that they were slow, and sometimes not completely cut.

Good course, good people running front desk, carts and inside beverages.

Greens Still Recovering

First time on course playing West to North course. Greens had been aerated in recent weeks and were okay but still smoothing out. Discounted tee times for the last week ($50) so a good value. Very expansive spread out course. Many of the blue and white tee boxes were very barren. Some of the fairways had large patches of thin or brown turf. One of those courses where some of the hole layouts were a bit of a mystery in figuring out best hole management strategy but overall a fair but challenging course.

Put some water cooler on the course.

Play with the temperature in the 90's with a matching humidity. No water on the golf course, only a cooler at the turn that was nearly empty at 10:00am. Saw the beverage cart on hole 9 and 15. Please put water out there.

Good Course, High Price

The golf course layout is excellent. We played West to East, which according to the scorecard is the second-most challenging 18 holes. It was as-advertised in that regard. From the blue tees, the course layout was challenging, requiring good shot control and also some length at times, if you want to really attack it. The course condition was good, but I'm glad we got a "hot deal" and didn't pay the full price of around $100. The course was not worth that kind of money. The greens were consistent and true, but slow (7 on the meter, maybe?). I wish I had played better, because I did enjoy the layout and course design. Plenty of holes with length required, but also plenty of shorter, "gettable" holes requiring strategy.

The Pearl is a Real Gem

Perfect weather, great course, wonderful condition, and best of all, the delight of having friendly, helpful people who run the place. While the cost is a little higher than local competitors, the value is much greater. Much. Don't miss the opportunity to play here - must be one of the top ten courses in all of the Myrtle Beach area.

Good Solid Track

Visiting here from San Diego. Didn’t know what to expect when I arrived but I was pleasantly surprised to find the course in decent shape and not too crowded. Had a fun round on the West/ East configuration.

Most enjoyable

I really enjoyed my round the Pearl, course was in great shape. I was paired with two older fellows and we got along great. I played the whites and they played reds, no problem either way. Only issue I had is that i booked the day before and they only had a single spot available, when i got there I was the third, had they offered two spots in the group my wife would have played.

Still a great time.

The Pearl Golf Club

Had a great time playing The Pearl. Overall everything was great. The only reason I rated staff friendliness a 3 is because the guy behind the counter in the pro shop had no personality. This is the first one you meet and I guess I had just expected a friendlier person greeting up. Otherwise everyone else was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back.

Nice layout

This was our last course of three for trip. This place was further drive but well worth it. Great friendly staff and course was in good shape and greens were excellent for this early. We played West and East 9. Definitely will play here again if we visit.
