I played when it was two eighteen hole courses, East and West. Seems like they
removed a few of the great golf holes, but it’s always a challenging day on the
links.

The course is showing its age

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.

Great track, needs work

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

Loooong Day at the Pearl

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.

Slow Round

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.
