Bring your own group

Pearl CC is a great course to play. But I have found they cater to tourist bookings. I was a single golfer. There were two groups of three golfers each in front of and behind me. All foreign. None of them would let me join them. So I played as a single waiting on every hole. I always enjoy meeting new people and the pace of a foursome when I golf. Not so yesterday. Wasn't my fault. To be fair, the starter asked me if I wanted to jump and join a group on 4, finishing 1-3 afterwards. I declined. So I played best ball with myself, hitting two balls on each hole. Still would have preferred a little friendliness.

Over rated

We visited from the mainland and chose Pearl CC because it was highly rated and close enough to Ko Olina where we stayed. Traffic being HORENDOUS on Oahu was a consideration. The greens had recently been punched and were fairly terrible. We liked the layout and the chanaging elevations a lot though. Before I would consider playing Pearl CC again I'd inquire about the greens. We should have been warned.

EXCELLENT COURSE AND STAFF

Guys, and gals,

Please don't miss out on this gem of a golf course situated just beyond downtown Honolulu. It truly is a beautiful course with some history and also holds the annual Pearl Open. Some very prestigious local and international golf names have been previous Pearl Open champions and this is truly a feather in their cap, so to speak.
The staff is beyond friendly and extremely helpful which is so appreciated by us, the customer, to be greeted and sent out with only memories of wanting to return to the great experience you've had at this course.
The course conditions are always in great form and especially the greens. Fast greens equals playing the Pearl Country Club as they are always in great shape as well as the fairways and outer lying areas of the course. The guys behind the scenes-the course superintendents and their staff do an excellent job of maintaining such a well manicured course all year round.
Once you're done playing a great round it's best to check out the clubhouse for fast friendly service with good food. There's no need to find a 19th hole as this clubhouse knows how to take care of you.
Overall, to have played Pearl as we call it, is quite an honor and a feather in your cap as you are a part of history. Like I said earlier, many great players have played Pearl and you can too with a good opportunity to "go low" and make a few birdies coming in down the stretch. This course is awesome and again, always in great shape. A truly exceptional value for any golfer, so bucket list this course. You're welcome.

Great views and overall nice course

We had a great day to golf this course. Wide fairways , so quite forgiving on most holes. Some were challenging over a ravine. Quite slow, the par 3's really could back things up. Do not be in a rush here, enjoy some fantastic views while you wait. I would golf this course again. Should have Marshall's out on coarse and not allow 5 somes to speed things up a little.

phenomenal views, excellent conditions

Course was well manicured as a state tournament had just finished that morning (greens were VERY fast). Course design was fair but challenging. Very few blind shots - great par threes.

Check-in was painless, staff was attentive and friendly and we teed off early.

Incredible harbour views on many holes - this alone would make me come back.

Fun course

This course can be briefly summarized as an overall fun course. Greens are fast. Fairways are undulating. Fairway grass is short and hard, so your ball will keep on rolling.

A diamond in the rough

For as long as I've lived on Oahu I never played this course. Golf Now would occasionally have tee times for it so decided to book it. What a treat! Central Oahu golf course basically in the middle of the city, kind of cool experience.

Golf course in great shape. Value is excellent for Kama'aina! Our second time playing we finished in just over 3 hours, often an unaccomplished task playing golf in Hawaii on a public course.

I highly recommend this course!

More Challenging Than It Looks

The course was nice enough and the staff was very friendly. We got a deal of $79 on golf now, I wouldn't pay anymore than that. The rough was made up of a grass I hadn"t played on before. You need to add a club to get through it properly I was coming up short on all approach shots. Greens are difficult to read, but fun to play.
All in All I enjoyed it, but as a visitor and only being able to play a few courses on my trip, I wouldn't include this one.
