Sun&fun

Nice course in great shape. Greens are nice and smooth. The only problem is the greens slope front to back so your shots will runoff the back. One starter yelled at an old man for taking the cart near the driving range asking him WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING very embarrassing . I would play it again

West to East

I booked the West course on Golfnow. There were several large groups going off at about the same time as me. The starter asked if I would play the East course, which I did, and I wasn't disappointed. After about a 30 minute delay at the start, the pace was pretty good. Some really nice holes for sure, especially 17 and 18. I would definitely play this course again and would like to play the West course.

Great course!

The staff could not have been friendlier- from the bag drop workers and the starter right down to the club house staff, everyone we met had a smile on their face and seemed genuinely interested in us having a great day. The course itself was in good shape- the bunkers has plenty of sand in them, the greens rolled true, and the fairways were ok. I loved the layout of the course! There are some great risk-reward holes here. My ONLY complaint was that I didn't see a single ball washer on the entire course! I would play here again without question.

Another MB Gem

Hadn't played The Pearl courses in some years and found some holes still held memories of previous rounds. Great Dan Maples layout. Greens were a bit slower compared to other courses played the last two weeks but putted true- just hard to adjust to the speed.

Really enjoyed playing here and will definitely be bsck.

Good course you should play

Great course that forces you to hit a variety of tee shots. Enjoyed the course and will play again. Greens were slow but that probably had to do with the time of year.

Great property

not the usual golf through a housing development. the East course is set in a pine forest where a house can't be seen until the 17th hole. Very enjoyable. Pace of play was outstanding for a Sunday morning. The greens were very good though - lots of grass on them. Few blind shots; generous off the tee. Good value and definite repeat.

Great greens, friendly and helpful staff

Arrived at course 10 minutes before tee time, staff was very inviting and helpful facilitating verification of Golf Now arrangements, very spot on. Course was great in layout, overseeded fairways little coarse, but to be expected. Greens were consistent and fair, in very good shape. Will definitely be back to play West Course. Highly recommended for any level of golfer.
