THE PEARL WEST GOLF COURSE Yardage book & Hole Descriptions
THE PEARL WEST | HOLE 1
West Hole 1 is a tight up-hill dog-leg right par 4. Two bunkers guard the right hand side of the fairway. The green is slightly elevated and protected by a deep bunker in the front. Players are better off hitting a right to left approach into this green. PAR: 4 HANDICAP: 12 BLACK: 394 BLUE: 360 WHITE: 355 GOLD: 330 RED: 255
THE PEARL WEST | HOLE 2
West Hole 2 is a short straight away par 4 that usually plays downwind. Long hitters can reach the green here and the average player will have less than a wedge into this undulating green. PAR: 4 HANDICAP: 16 BLACK: 358 BLUE: 333 WHITE: 323 GOLD: 298 RED: 281
THE PEARL WEST | HOLE 3
West Hole 3 is a dog-leg left uphill par 4 with an attitude. Players will have to thread the needle between two large fairway bunkers on the right and two ponds on the left hand side of the hole. The approach is no breeze either as the green has three tiers and two bunkers protecting the green. PAR: 4 HANDICAP: 8 BLACK: 401 BLUE: 366 WHITE: 324 GOLD: 286 RED: 252
THE PEARL WEST | HOLE 4
West Hole 4 is a testy little up-hill par 3 that is guarded by a deep bunker in front. The green is mean as a green in regulation won’t exactly guarantee a two putt par. Beware of the being above the hole on this hole. PAR: 3 HANDICAP: 18 BLACK: 147 BLUE: 138 WHITE: 130 GOLD: 118 RED: 104
THE PEARL WEST | HOLE 5
TWest Hole 5 is a gigantic par 5 that requires 3 excellent shots to get home in regulation. Players will recognize Dan Maples’ signature tree in the middle of the fairway. The green is also protected by a large pond skirting the front edge of the putting service. PAR: 5 HANDICAP: 6 BLACK: 614 BLUE: 591 WHITE: 553 GOLD: 486 RED: 441
THE PEARL WEST | HOLE 6
West Hole 6 is tight down-hill dog-leg right par 4. The hole slopes from left to right and is very receptive to a left to right drive. Players will hit their approaches based on what their lie dictates. Some will choose to take the ball in low while others may try to attack it high. Beware of the wind direction before choosing your play. The back of the green has a majestic view of the Calabash River. PAR: 4 HANDICAP: 4 BLACK: 443 BLUE: 414 WHITE: 390 GOLD: 380 RED: 343
THE PEARL WEST | HOLE 7
West Hole 7 is another gargantuan par 5 that is lined with beautiful Calabash River views down the right hand side of the hole. The entire hole slopes left to right towards the water so be sure allow for the roll. The approach shot has a tendency to be difficult because players are faced with a side-hill lie. PAR: 5 HANDICAP: 2 BLACK: 604 BLUE: 573 WHITE: 552 GOLD: 475 RED: 436
THE PEARL WEST | HOLE 8
West Hole 8 is short straight away par 3 with a catch. The only defense this hole has is its green. The green has a table top tier that falls off the front edge and provides for an extremely difficult putt. PAR: 3 HANDICAP: 14 BLACK: 151 BLUE: 139 WHITE: 134 GOLD: 124 RED: 95
THE PEARL WEST | HOLE 9
West Hole 9 is an unconventional par 5 that gives players an option to play it safe or go for the eagle. The key is hitting the tee shot just short of the bunker at the corner of the fairway. Club choice is key on this tee shot because shots hit into or over the bunker are immediately in danger of making double bogey. A well placed shot in front of the bunker will give players from 190 to 220 yards left into the green. Will you go for glory? PAR: 5 HANDICAP: 10 BLACK: 534 BLUE: 515 WHITE: 508 GOLD: 477 RED: 434
