Underwhelming

Staff was nice enough but they came to the driving range 15 minutes before my tee time to rush me to the tee. One guy told us we were up so I rushed to the tee and then another guy sent another group out in front of us. No issues after that with pace of play or the staff. The course was in decent shape but fairways were cut pretty tight. Cart paths made you feel like you were 4wheeling. Over all it was ok, just underwhelming for the price. I played 4 courses in the area this week and this was the 2nd highest fee and I’d rank it 4th in condition. Two others were 30% cheaper and nicer.

The gentleman that started my wife and I off the West to East was amazing and professional!

Our starter should be teaching golf etiquette what a pro! We started on West and finished on East. We started 20 mins ahead of schedule and he assisted in a 5 some on the East that was in front of us. What a professional our original tee time was 12:20 pm we finished in 3 hrs and 10 mins we played on 9-30-21 I don’t recall his name but remember our round was fantastic due to his professionalism. Thank you and go Steelers!

Very nice staff, nice course

I played the course as a twosome on September 16. The staff was very helpful, we were the last golfers in and yet they didn’t make us feel like we were making them wait. Course itself was nice, very few people on it so pace of play was excellent. Overall I would recommend this course.

Greens are great

I have been coming to the Pearl since 1987 when it opened. Was a 36 hole layout and although it is sad to see some of the better holes on the east course closed, the greens were as good as any I played in the area and the fairways were in good shape. The staff is great as well. Definitely will play again.

Needs a lot of works

Was expecting more for $70 on a weekday. Greens were alright but inconsistent hole to hole. Some sandy, some lush - assuming this is due to being punch recently. Unfortunately, the greens were the best part of the condition of the course. Fairways were patchy and best, unplayable at worst. Seems like it’s not being maintained at the level it should be for $70. Too much competition in this area for that price and these conditions. That said, not a terrible layout but not mind blowing by any stretch..
