Always a great course

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

Beautiful fun course

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.

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.

Great Challenging Course

Course is beautiful and the views are amazing, greens are hard to read and fast. The price is a little high but fun and challenging course to play.

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.
