Just Alright

After playing Farmstead and Thistle for about the same price (actually Farmstead was $12 less local rate) the Pearl was a disappointment.. i must say the greens were excellent though.

Enjoyable Round

I was a single and paired with a member. Went our own pace on East course (1st out on that 9) and had to wait a little for the back nine (North).

My GPS was not correct due to reconfiguring of holes but was able to figure out what holes were removed.

Very wet. Played East instead of West for front 9 because only 1 hole was cart path only. East had 4 holes cart path only other than the par 3s.

Very challenging but fair. Need to have fairly straight tee shots.

Nice course, holes not linked to SwingU

Course was nice, very well-kept. They are changing the layout of the course (homes to be built) and it does not line up with apps like SwingU and others. It made my GPS distance not work for the course. Other than that really enjoyed it.

Don't miss it

Played the North and west nines. Which is the old west course. 3 hour round, only two of us. Course was in excellent shape. Greens rolled extremely well. Not to fast or slow, they held there lines. Ask your packaging company to include it in your next quote as it is good value.

Very Nice Surprise

Staff was very friendly. The course was in very good shape. Not quite a 5 but somewhere between 4-5. Most of the tee boxes were in good shape. Fairways were in good shape. The greens were in good shape considering that they had been aerated recently. Should be very nice in a couple more weeks. The West and East run along the intercoastal waterway. The North does not so less hazards. I played West and North. Will definitely play again.
