The Pearl Golf Links is a underrated golf course with a high-quality layout and some of the best greens in the region. The 27-hole facility offers varied and interesting holes, with wonderful course conditions and plenty of wildlife, making it a nice and enjoyable experience. The staff are friendly and helpful, contributing positively to the visit. The clubhouse provides good food and drink options, although some reviews mention it needs a renovation, especially the clubhouse which has an old, musty vibe. The course can be a bit scruffy and tired in places, with inconsistent tee boxes and greens running at different speeds, which can be frustrating for players. Water coolers on the course are sometimes empty, and service from the beverage staff was limited during busy times. Weather conditions, such as rain, can lead to cart path-only play, but overall, players find the course in good shape and worth the trip. Many plan to return, appreciating the course’s bones and layout, despite some minor issues.
Have played The Pearl many times since it opened in 1987, while vacationing in Ocean Isle, and the greens are as good as they have been in a long while. Played the East and West sides today and was happy to see the course in such fantastic shape.

Well maintained both on the fairways and in the club house.

Love playing the Pearl when we are in town. It overly crowded and friendly workers. Fair but challenging course for sure.
