Great layout and very good conditions

Played with my son and son in law. Other than a couple showers, it was a great day. Greens a little slow (imagine that at the beach) bunkers were well maintained, and a lot of water and sand hazards. Great test of golf.

Good course in beautiful nature

Course layout is challenging, condition was good (greens not fully recovered from aerifying). I liked especially that there are no houses along the course, so you can enjoy the nature

Fairways and greens in great shape.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Pearl. The course was in tremendous shape throughout - the greens especially. The cart paths could use a little work - they’re quite bumpy in many places. But that was a minor inconvenience. We played on July 4, so the crowd was down. That also meant the drink cart and bar/grill closed early. But we understood - everyone deserves a holiday. Overall, we loved it and plan to go back.

The Pearl staff & conditions

Very disappointed from the start, dropped clubs, tried checking, waited & waited, I guess checking inventory was more important. Could not charge range balls on ticket with golf, had to pay cash?? People that were late for tee times still got put in ahead of us,, making out start delayed 20 minutes. Play was terribly slow, 3 groups on every hole.

Hey if you want a 5.5 hour round this is your place. Will never return.

Out on vacation. Enjoyed the layout. Greens on the slower side but consistent. Was warned about looking for balls as venomous snakes are in the area

Great course with good value

Very nice course conditions and layout. Staff is very well trained and knowledgeable. Pace of play very good. Only disappointment was range balls not included and you have to walk a ways to get to the range.

Lots of memorable holes

The look and feel of this course is great as you view it from the raised clubhouse. The fairways and greens were in very good condition. This is definitly a course you will love to play again, once you know where all the pitfalls are.
