About The Pearl Golf Links

The Pearl Golf Links offers 27 holes designed by Dan Maples, laid out among woodlands and marshes bordering the Calabash River. The holes are arranged into three nines that combine into three distinct 18-hole routings: the Pearl East, the Pearl West and the Pearl North.

The North plays in a links style, with broader fairways and larger putting surfaces. The East takes a parkland character, placing a premium on accuracy rather than length. The West blends the two, and includes six holes set along the Calabash River. The course opened in 1987.
