The Emerald Golf Club

I decided to take advantage of a prepaid hot deal and it turned out to be a horrible idea. At check in the course had multiple groups scheduled for the exact same time and after fooling around of their practice green for a while we were finally able to tee off approximately 30 minutes after our scheduled tee time. It also didn't help the fact that the guy working in the pro shop decided to squeeze a couple members in front of us. All day we were waiting on the groups in front of us as well as having to worrying about pace of play with the groups behind us. P

There is nothing to say about this course and it's staff other than TRULY FIRSYT CLASS! I drive for an hour to play there !

Play this one each time I come to New Bern NC.

Always in good shape, fairways and greens.

Greens were smooth and fast. Cart paths were rough. Great chicken salad sandwich.

Excellent golf course that challenges all levels - greens were smooth, fast & true. Many different sets of tees for any level of play - great layout ; a shotmakers target oriented course that demands a smart approach & solid short game. Excellent par 4 finishing hole and just such beauty on every hole . A classic old school shorter golf course w subtle doglegs and picturesque views from every spot on course. Also well managed by staff with a spaced out flow that kept pace of play at a brisk clip. And from tee to green all grass, turf, fairways & greens in excellent shape & also great smooth silky sand in bunkers. Highly recommend putting this golf course on your must play list & is a favorite in my groups rota of play. Again the Emerald is a real jewel in our Eastern Carolina area for golf !

I’ve played The Emerald many times over the last 10 years. Current course conditions are the best I’ve seen; kudos to The Emerald team!

Course was in the best shape I have seen. Tee boxes and fairways were superb. Rough was playable and the Greens, well the greens were immaculate and quick. Overall a very nice course. Play it now if you can - course is in very good shape.

The course is in super shape.

The staff are polite.

As a single, joined a twosome and played easily under 4 hours.

The food is good.

Great driving range with great golf balls.

Had a wonderful experience.

Played The Emerald on a wonderful weather day and was met and greeted by a courteous and engaging staff who treated me like a member. I was playing on a Hot Deal promotion and received First Class service even though I was not paying full weekend price. The course was in excellent condition and pace of play was just under 4 hours. We had a tournament group in front of us but only waited on the first and second holes. I was a single and they paired me with three delightful gentlemen with whom I will be joining again for future games. The Emerald is the best overall course in Eastern NC.

Greens are fast but very true. Course is in great shape.

We played the course in 4 hours, we had 3 members behind us that was rudely trying to play it in 3! Course was backed up and we had no where to go! I feel sorry for their rude membership if this is an example!
