2 miles E of Calabash
Travelling north from Myrtle Beach on US Hwy 17 : just before the South Carolina / North Carolina border, you will meet the junction of Hwy 17 and route 179 (Beach Drive SW to Calabash). Take the 179 to Calabash. After approx 3 miles, at traffic lights in Calabash, continue straight over into Old Georgetown Road SW (still on the 179). After o.7 miles turn right into the Pearl Golf Links, and follow road for approx o.8 miles to clubhouse.
Pearl Golf Links (West)
The Pearl Golf Links (West course): For an excellent 36-holes of championship golf, few locations in the Myrtle Beach area match the naturalness and challenge of the Pearl Golf Links. The East and West courses are quite different in character, the more wooded and tighter East course, being a perfect foil for the longer, more open, though equally scenic West.
An excellent water-protected par-4 in relatively open terrain gets your round underway on the West course, introducing you to the more open, linksy section of this layout, where waste areas full of pampas grass and water hazards line the good-width fairways. You'll return to this more open environment later in the round, but not before the middle section of the front-nine takes you into more wooded terrain, where avenues of trees and excellent fairway and greenside bunkering make their presence felt.
Many would say the best stretch of holes, and certainly the most picturesque, come towards the end of the round when you play along the banks of the Calabash River. From the par-4 15th through to the par-3 17th, there is plenty of open marshland in view, together with the river itself, and Oyster Bay Golf Club, just across on the opposite bank.
Although a limited amount of real estate may begin to be introduced into the Pearl's very natural golfing domain, it is unlikely to be to the detriment of its two excellent and challenging golf tracts.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.

One cannot be too sure where the name Pearl Golf Links originated, but with the nearby Calabash River supporting vast oyster beds, maybe one or two of their pearly contents surfaced as the golf courses were under construction ?

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf.

Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
