Just a outstanding course.... well worth the drive. Photo submitted by DKN08 on 07/11/2016
ol redneck
the emerald is always a fun time, i usually play with some folks i don't know so i get to meet some new golfers and play a nice course. will look forward to the next time around.
Always enjoyable
Greens had been recently aerated so pretty bumpy but the rest of the course was in great condition. It was HOT so surprising it wasn’t more burnt out. Pace was a bit slow but not terrible. Staff is always very friendly.
Excellent Shape
Played from the Emerald Tees, aka the Tips. Solid and full 6800 Yds. Well Laid out, Member course, with a lot of retirees playing Monday morning. Can't walk, have to take a cart. Overall a great day not working. Only complaint was the pins were not cut that day, looked like they hadn't been cut since Friday morning. Lipped out 3 puts due to dead grass on the cut of the pin.
Hottest day of the year
Really beautiful, definitely enjoyed it! Linked up with a guy that knew the layout and had a really good time. Score didn’t reflect it lol 82, but we’ll blame it on the 100 degree day. Definitely will play again!
A Must Play in Eastern Carolina
The staff here is the friendliest and accommodating bunch of folks I have ever come across . That is saying alot because I play alot of golf course. Bo was super on the phone and Tim was great to me as a single with my 85 year old father who just rides with me. The don't have a rider fee like the other courses in the area. He sent us off the back because he was booked on the front and I played 18 in under 3 hours.
The course is lush and the greens rolled true without hopping around like other courses in the area.
Worth the drive, excellent greens
Very glad I decided to drive up from Atlantic Beach to try this course. I found excellent greens with subtle breaks and beautiful fairways. Significant rain overnight did not restrict driving carts. Course is mostly flat but mounding makes it interesting. The green complexes are first rate. Bunkers were freshly raked and tee boxes are very good. Did not use the range, but it looks good. Only drawback are the broken cart paths... I'm glad I don't play off of them. Got a great green fee deal on TeeOff.
Had to follow a fivesome!
Had to follow a fivesome! There was a major hold up on the first tee box, because the previous shotgun hadn’t finished, and we had to allow two groups to finish their last hole which was the first hole. Then the staff allowed a fivesome to go out in front of us, we were playing as a threesome! That was bad enough. But at no point during the round even though we were on their butts the entire day did that fivesome allow us to play through. Not cool!
Nice challenging course.
Good course and value. Cart path needs repairs. Pace was slow
..played twice and waited all day both times. Still, worth playing.
Great Course!
Man! Jerry and the crew really got the course dialed in. Easily my favorite course within 20 minutes of my house. The greens are always challenging with speed and pin location. The fairways are always green with nice soft turf. I just like this course!
Great, fun course for all levels of golf
Course was in perfect condition. Weather was the only thing that slowed us down. Everyone in the group said they would love to play the course again.
Pristine Condition
Jerry and Ricky have this course in immaculate condition. It’s easily the best public course within 50 miles of New Bern. We’ll, at least that I’ve played at. Book a tee time, like now. The course will only get better.
