Pearl at Kalauao

I have played Pearl CC before and always thought it's a fun challenging course with challenging hills and lies off the tee box and the back drop of Pearl Harbor view is mesmerizing. Upon arrival to check-in we was told we couldn't check in early had to come back. After, hitting balls and waiting around we came back a second time to check-in and now we're told they were running 20-30 minutes delay by the course playing split tee and were letting players off both tee box 1st and 18th. The tee time advertise 3:50p for 18th holes, after we finally check-in and now we're being told we'll probably get maybe 9 holes in cause carts have to be in before 6:15pm. Maybe our faults too for booking a 3:50pm tee time, but that maybe bad advertisement for even anyone coming to play golf in Hawaii on vacation, felt like not booking Kamaʻāina there that you were a outsider and not a local and we were even asked how much we paid for our round of golf online. All in all, just a bad taste and experience with check-in staff.

I played this course for the first time. Although quite expensive I got a special fare via Golf Now.

The course was in great condition. The greens smooth but a bit slow. Very challenging elevation changes with some blind shots. You really have to play it more than once to meet the challenge. Highly recommended if you can get a cheaper price than the customary $160/round

I enjoyed the course and will likely play it next time I'm in Oahu. The staff was amazingly nice and friendly. The play was slow at first but then sped up, and I was a single so I expected it to be slow. It's a beautiful course!!

It's a traditional, comfortable course. good experience.

**BUYER BEWARE **

Had the unfortunate pleasure of booking PEARL COUNTRY CLUB course on GN yesterday. Read the reviews before booking and all indications from the reviews lead me to believe it would be a good deal. Booked the 6:38 tee time for $167.50 non-resident rate. Transaction at the club house went smoothly. Was the second group out as a twosome behind a foursome. Played the front nine in 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Here is where the cluster f*€k began. We get to the 10th tee and there are foursomes waiting to tee off! After a conversation with a gentleman in the 6:30 group ahead of us, he explained how the weekend golfing is at the course. Unbeknownst to us starting groups on both tees is common practice on the weekend. Very unfair to golfers booking the early tee times, because at the turn it can be a 30 minute wait! Especially after paying $167.50 golf fee!!

I recommend GN place a warning on this course for weekend GN users.

Again **BUYER BEWARE **

Having one opportunity to play while visiting, I chose this course for the sole reason of it’s reviews and the professional courteous responses of the course staff. I was not disappointed at all. It was an enjoyable round on a fun layout with beautiful scenery overlooking Pearl Harbor. They let me out as a single during a gap in the tee sheet, then I paired up with a nice couple on #8 when catching up to the pack. Enjoyed their company and passion for the game. Highly recommend playing here if you have one chance while visiting.

Course staff was very friendly. Course conditions were decent. Some tee boxes were in rough shape and a few of the greens have seen better days. Overall, the course is worth playing at least once.

The only thing is the recently punched greens so they were pretty bumpy.

Conditions of the tee boxes and fairways were great. Conditions of the greens were good. Beautiful course, pretty forgiving on some holes, not so forgiving on others. Would recommend!

Although this course was a very nice course, it was quite a bit expensive for what it was. There may be a reason for the price, but I would like to see it around 60 to 80 to play instead of the 120.

This was my third and final round on the island and I couldn't be more disappointed that I ended on this fair ground, pitch and putt quality course.

The Pearl Country Club website brags of its course conditions, but they were by far the worst I've played in HI. It looked as if the grounds crew had been on holidays for the last 4 weeks with patchy, thin, weed covered greens. The fairways were somewhat better, but not by much.

Not only was the course neglected, but the washrooms on the course were as well. The washrooms must not have been serviced in weeks as the public washrooms on the beach are in a cleaner state.

For the price of $125/round (discounted rate from Hawaiiteetimes.com who I strongly recommend using) I expected more than a cart with no cooler or gps, public pitch and putt greens, neglected fairways/rough and unhygienic bathroom facilities.

Overall, it was terrible value compared to other courses in the region. Do not waste your money here, unless you enjoy reading the weeds and bare patches when you putt.

The staff are fantastic. The course is quite picturesque and has a number of interesting holes. There is some forgiveness if you hit onto adjacent fairways but there are also some out of bounds to watch for. Overall we had a great time and I would play there again.

Crowded as expected on a Sunday. Staff was exceptional and I really want to go again when I don't have to wait for parties of 4 and 5 like a weekend.
Course was perfect though and greens were smooth and fairways were well groomed. Difficulty was a medium grade to me.
Only lost two balls all day and that's great for me who averages a 110 game.
Thanks

Overall course quite challenging and fun to play. Clubs picked up in parking lot by attendant so nice country club touch. Seems like holes haven't been moved in several days since dead grass around cup, otherwise in pretty good condition . Got a pretty good rate online but paid $30 to have my wife ride with me? Really? A Hawaii golf site said only $25 per rider.?!? Pace of play was very slow. Expected to finish with 4 3/4 hours of daylight but was I wrong! Only got to 16th hole when Marshall came around telling us we needed to get carts back to clubhouse by 6 PM which allowed for 15 min of play. Great to see that slow play is all over both in paradise and the mainland! Saw Marshall during round twice but didn't really do anything since play was quite slow - 2-3 group wait on par 3's. I guess that's what you get for a semi private club open to the public!
