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.

Enjoyable and fair course

Played blue tees, good test for my handicap (20). One or two greens had no sand in a bunker. Other than that, good condition.

Condition of the course is poor to fair

Surprised to see why a 4 star rating has been assigned to this course. Perhaps the ratings were several years ago and it has been damaged by a storm. Cart paths are in very rough shape along with patchy spots on sides of fairways. Most sand traps were full of water and it looked like they have been that way for a while. The pace of play was excellent since there were about only 5 cars in the parking lot. Did see a few gators though.

Ease Back Into The Game

This was my first round in almost 7 years. This was a great course to get started back up again. I played from the Gold tees with the rest of the group I was paired with: The tee boxes, fairways, and bunkers were in great shape. Stray from the fairway or rough and you will run into sandy patches and tight lies. The greens were in very good shape, fast and true. There were a few of greens with dead grass and sand near the collars. If your looking for a fun round of golf that will not bring you to your knees, unless you play the blacks this is it.
