Just a outstanding course.... well worth the drive. Photo submitted by DKN08 on 07/11/2016
90 yr old Fivesomes!!
Fun course, decent conditions for winter, great price, good staff. Round was ruined by a fivesome of 90-year-olds ahead of us that would not allow us to play through. When we went around them, they yelled and screamed at us. Pretty sad that a nice course like this would allow that to ruin the day for everyone.
Great staff and course
Golf course is always in great condition from tee to green. Staff is friendly. Oh and plenty of beer.
Great Local Course
Very good challenge for a higher skilled player with the layout of the holes and the difficulty of the greens. Greens were in very good shape. .
Great Course
Challenging course with tight fairways. The greens were in immaculate condition. Worth it for the price.
Great day on the course
Challenging course which I love. Well maintained also
Nice course in New Bern
Emerald was very nice. Solid layout with tee options for everyone. Greens were excellent and fast. Most putts broke a little more than it looked. Pace was on the slower side. Easy to book and fun course. Play it if you can!
Course has great features
The course was in great condition and the greens were very nice, fast, and challenging, especially if you missed above the holes.
Beautiful
The Emerald is a nice course with narrow fairways. It is a lady friendly course with short total yardage from the red tees. Use different tee boxes for more of a challenge. The greens are fast so they can be difficult to judge at times. I have played here several times and keep coming back!
Emerald
Great layout with many tee options. Great shape!
..
Great Course and Terrific Price
The course is always in great shape. Tee boxes, Greens, Fairways…all very good. The greens are fast and true. Difficulty level medium. There are some holes that require precision shots but overall it is very playable and friendly. Nice practice range. Great veranda to sit out and have an after round libation.
Great course, Terrible pace
Firstly id like to say this course has great greens and a terrific layout, very fun and challenging to play! However; the pace was atrocious, 5 hours and 15 minutes, there was a 3 ball holding up our 4 ball and 2 more 4 balls behind us. We called the clubhouse twice to send someone out to move those guys along, no one came out....terrible pace of play.
The Emerald a true gem!
As usual the Emerald is always in great condition from tee to green! Bow and the rest of the staff are always courteous!
Great Course
I always try to use Golf now when selecting a course due to the cost and the Emerald was well worth it. Staff was very nice and we actually got out 15 minutes early.
