Pearl’s West Course is links-style with lots of open stretches complimented by thick displays of pampas grass. The awesome 18th hole features a dramatic finish along the bluffs overlooking the Calabash River. Attention to detail and meticulous grooming characterizes the course which has played host to a number of major tournaments. In 1988, Golf Digest nominated the West Course as the "Best New Public Course." The clubhouse is also sensational with spectacular views of Dan Maples impressive design. The beauty and challenge of the course coupled with the hospitality you'll receive will bring you back again and again.

The course was in great shape and very playable, even for a high handicapper like me. A beautiful facility.

The greens were very slow ... they definitely did not cut the greens yesterday and I hope they don't keep them that slow all the time. Nice course needs better maintenance.

It was hot and we were told there would be a club cart coming around, but we never saw it. Was a little hot, and no drinks.

Fun course; only bad thing was that water wasn't marked as a lateral hazard and it wasn't on the scorecard either.

More open than its sister course Pearl East but every bit as beautiful and fun to play. Fairways are in great shape. Greens are crowned which can be intimidating but they keep the grass a little high to slow them down to help the average golfer. Defintely worth playing.

The West course was a treat to play, and had a decent balance of sand traps, so I was able to stay out of the beach most of the time! Great burgers in the restaurant too.

Finishing hole was great! Course was very wet even though it rained heavily two days prior but not the day before (cart path only). Tee blocks were very uneven with sparse grass. Day we played greens were fertilized and watered, so putting was somewhat difficult. It is a good, challenging course, but disappointing because the grass in fairways and on tee blocks was very thin.

This course is a bear from the tips. One of the most entertaining courses I've ever played. Played No. 14 into the wind, took me a driver off the deck twice followed by the 3 wood of my life to get home in regulation. Great hole!!!

Fair for the price but would not go back. I could not open the attached file with the voucher but there was no problem at all, at the pro shop they called, and had it faxed.

Most interesting layout of the four courses we played on this trip with holes that provide unique challenges from shot-to-shot.

Have played this course several times, but was completely disappointed (and actually humiliated since I had told everyone how good it was) on the conditions of the course.3

We played The Pearl West on May 21st, 2009. We had a wonderful day, got right on the course. I have never seen so much wildlife, it was beautiful (as was the gator). I will be back to play for sure. The course was challenging, yet had easy approach shots at times. Very balanced!

The course was nice but the land around the course was like an abandoned development project. It was bewildering and took away from the course. The greens were very good. It was sunny, cold, very windy, and the course was very wet.
