It's "Pearl"... and what more could I say about that..? If you are in the golf community you know what I am talking about. If your not and starting out. Just know this- know your etiquette. This is a Country Club. If you are not aware of the difference between a course and a club. Please research it before entering the drive way to the securty booth. This is Not just only a golf course but a very beautifully designed course sprawled across the Majestic Koolau/Aiea Heights mountains. Sitting just over the pearl ridges mall with a breath taking view of Pearl Harbor and the Ewa plains. The weather is always perfect. With a start of the morning with a light drizzle for good luck. As you reach in to your pocket for a tee to set up your approach for a Drive on a par 4 hole number 1. It's deceiving looking down that most believe they can reach with thier driver. Go and try. It's one of the widest and most looked apon from the outsides. As you approach the green you can't help notice the amount of people watching you any time of the day. As several high rises blanket that corner of the course. Well that was your introduction to Hole 1. At one of the most beautiful well maintained courses on Oahu. The "Pearl Country Club. A very challenging layout with long par 4s and 5s. As hills and gullys push your club selections making sure to not fall in those sand traps and water hazards along the par 72 stretch. A must try course...
Read morePCC is a centrally located course that offers an abundant of services with an excellent golf course as your backdrop. I stopped in to check the facility out the day before and had a chance to talk to the staff who definitely had the Aloha spirit. They gave me the overview of the course and what other services they offer such as weddings, corporate events, tournaments, graduation parties etc. This would be a great venue for a company team building event. I took an out-of-town guest to play 18 the next day and we both enjoyed the great views of Pearl Harbor and surrounding area. There are a few water holes and blind dog legs and that made it more fun. The fairways are pretty open so there's not a lot of chances to lose your ball unless you really shank it. The course was manicured and well maintained. The greens will need a face lift soon and they played a bit slow but overall, you'll get the ball in the hole. A few of the holes have blind spots but there are mirrors to make sure you don't play into some unsuspecting player ahead of you. Overall, I'll definitely be back for more play. They have private areas for lessons and have a nice driving range and restaurant. This is a great opportunity to get in your golf fix and have a great meeting or event too. The staff made this a notch above, nothing but...
Read moreIf you are coming into town and want to play some quality golf, then avoid this course at all costs. The amount they charge to play here is criminal when you consider the conditions. I dont understand how it could be both the wettest, and also driest course I have ever played, at the same time. I could overlook the terrible fairways and rough if you could get any putts to roll consistently, but that is not the case here. The "greens" are in terrible disrepair, and it is rare to see actual grass on any of them besides those in view from the clubhouse, which almost seems like a purposeful attempt to mislead people before they embark on an excruciatingly slow round. I think the rating for this place is inflated by the apparent quality of the restaurant, but I cant speak to that since we didnt bother to stick around to eat after the five and a half hour round. Again, if you are visiting Oahu, and want to play some good golf, spend your...
