The Pearl Golf Links - West Course

The course and facilities are showing their age. We Waited 5 average on every hole. 4 hrs 40 min round. The conditions were not great. Lots of hard pan just off fairways and greens. Greens were pretty good and rolled pure. A little slow, but fair overall. I think the course should be $50 or less. Lots better courses for just a little more money.

Needs quite a bit of work on the course
Certainly not what it use to be

I thought the original design was very strong. Multiple tees, good greens, and well bunkered. Fit and finish needs some work.

Felt the course was not in good shape as we were not allowed to drive on fairways du to seeding.. Round took 5 1/2 hours as the were usually 3 different groups on each hole. I understand the course wants to make money, however where is the consideration for the paying customers. I thought they should have told us the restrictions on golf now when we made the reservations a week before. Had to wait on every shot for the 2 groups ahead of us on every hole. Would not return again.

The round took 5 1/2 hours (poor). Could not drive on fairways which were not in great shape. Too many people playing for conditions of course. Not worth money or time.

West course nice ,in good shape,East course Still bone dry in need of 'Repair'.

This was a very nice golf course, and worth the $60.

Quick greens and nice fairways. Would highly recommend.

Course was in good shape requires some shot shaping on a few hole course conditions were good well worth the drive up to Calabash, NC

When Dante Alighieri uttered, “ In the middle of the journey of our life I found myself within a dark woods where the straight way was lost”, one might believe he was referring to the Pearl.

When you roll into the Pearl, it’s hard not to get optimistic with the beautiful marsh vistas and scenery, but those things are for websites and advertisements. Reality sinks in when the callous and socially wanton starter directs you to the first hole - starting on the East nine, you descend into the first ring, swarming with mosquitos and stacked with 3 groups, per hole, you quickly realize the conditions are in total disrepair and neglected for apparently decades - paths reminiscent of main thoroughfares in Baghdad after operation desert storm.

For the love of golf, you descend into the second ring, otherwise known as the fairways themselves - more receptive of potato farming than a good drive, a greyhound would be insulted if you compared them to a dog track.

I must go to Walgreens now for an at home malaria test kit, but heed my warning fellow golfers, the Inferno is real, and it goes by the name of The Pearl.

Played the west-east routing which we enjoy. One of the prettiest courses around and it was in very good shape. /i played the gold tees and my sons played the white which really meant that their driving had to be on. the greens were in great shape and the whole round was very enjoyable even with a little slow down due to the groups in front of us

Played the West/East rotation. Course was in very good shape from tee to green. Greens were very fast and make sure you stay below the hole if possible. Lots of fun holes throughout the 18. Gorgeous views along the Calabash River. Mike the Starter was very nice and knowledgeable. Jarrett in the Pro Shop gave me lots of tips and the layouts of the 9's I was playing. Look forward to playing again next year.
