Fun course.

Course was in very good shape. Pro Shop was very informative about the lay outs since this was my 1st time playing there. Put the Pearl on your list and play it. You will enjoy playing it and it has some beautiful views along the Calabash River.

Enjoyed the views

I played West/East. The course was in fair shape. Tee boxes were pretty bad throughout. I enjoyed the views along the water and the greens were fast, but the conditions were very inconsistent throughout. I would play again to try the North course

Excellent now!

I played this course several years ago pre covid and a major complaint would be the the conditions. The fairways are flush and the greens are in perfect shape! It deserves a minimum 4.5 star+ rating now.

Calabash golf without crowds

Theearl is a good choice for Calabash / N MB golfers that want to escape crowds. The course is nicely maintained with a fair layout. It is tucked in between Sea Trail and Ocean Ridge Plantations, but there are no homes built on the course. It is a good choice for a challenging round of golf.

Beautiful course in great shape

The course is beautiful and in excellent shape.! The only negative I encountered was pace of play. We had an extremely slow foursome in front of us. I mean slow! Having a ranger on the course could have helped this situation.

The Pearl

Best conditions we’ve played this season. Very impressed considering they had no real issues this early in the season. Tee boxes, greens, and fairways were spectacular. Pin placements were tough, but the greens weren’t fast, so they were playable. We played West/East and enjoyed our round thoroughly.
