Don't Bother

We had 4 free rounds , but there was only two of us so our plan was to play both courses . We played the East course first and were so turned off by everything that I gave away the remaining 2 rounds to someone I met in the parking lot . That should say it all . 5 plus hour round , stuck behind a foursome that could care less they were holding up the course . I told a range this and he didn't even bother to saying anything to them .

poor reception

We arrived early for our tee time. The parking lot had very few cars in it. We checked in with the pro shop and was told as they did not get any money for our tee time, we would have to wait until our tee time, in case others showed up, that were paying customers. (We had the Hot Deal). They made sure to call the starter and tell him that also. We were made to feel like dirt. We have played this course in the past, not thru GolfNow and were very satisfied. We will not go back to that course and will also tell all of our friends to avoid it.

East course good layout

Good layout, Greens were not cut close and very slow. Course condition was OK, but fairways were also not mowed close. I think they had over seeded w/rye.

Are the mowers broke?

Tee boxes haven been mowed in a long time...greens haven't been mowed in a long time...fairways haven't been mowed in a long time...range tees unmowed...garbage. Course has been so nice in the past, layout is great. Horrible experience this trip. Won't be back again.

I get that they probably were in an over seeding phase, but there was no warning of the awful conditions. You couldn't even walk up to the green without sinking in mud greenside. Fairways were soaked as well. It hasn't rained significantly in the area for a few weeks!

Course needs some attention

We were very disappointed with the condition of the course. Tee boxes were not mowed, greens had debri all over them and they were more than just slow! The 'bathrooms' on the course were beyond awful. The toilets were black and rodent infested. If you can't keep up a bathroom then please don't offer one.

This course could be very nice if some attention was given to it. The layout it nice but it wasn't worth $50.

Non-Stressful Course

Enjoyable course that is well maintained, except for the rough cart path which needs some work. Only complaint is that it lacks ball washers on carts and course.

Nice layout and good challenge.

I really enjoyed the course. (East). Leave you driver in the bag as there are several tight landing areas and hazards within range of the tees. I'll play it again.

Nice course--good value

Our group really enjoyed the round at Pearl-West. Course was in good condition. Greens were plush and held very well. Greens were s little on the slow side however. The layout was standard Myrtle Beach with tall pines and plenty of sand and water. Not a lot of memorable holes, but 16 and 18 were both par 5's and very challenging and memorable. Just one criticism--we couldn't figure out why there were no ball washers on the course or on the carts?

Overall, a good value at $31 on GN.

Nice Course

Played with the family on vacation. Have played many courses in Myrtle Beach area but this was the first time I have traveled into North Carolina to play. Played the Pearl West and pardon the pun but it truly was a pearl. Course was in good shape for the heat of August. Nice wide fairways and very receptive greens. Maybe a tad over watered but they held every shot that hit them and they rolled true. Unlike a lot of courses in Myrtle that you have to finesse your way around, the Pearl allowed for full swing and shot making. Truly enjoyed it and look forward to getting back there to play it again.

Great course for vacation stay

Me and the wife played here over vacation and it was perfect for the two of us. Only issue was with the Golf Now app and directions. You should just put the address in instead of using the API to go the map.
