Just a outstanding course.... well worth the drive. Photo submitted by DKN08 on 07/11/2016
Always Great
While several courses in the area have lost a step, this course has stepped it up. Greens were super fast but true. Staff is always friendly and even remembers names even after a year of not playing.
Great course
Beautiful course. Layout was nice as well. Pace of play was awful though as they stacked tee times to close together. Had 3 parties on each hole almost the entire 18.
Great course
This course is laid out well and very well kept. I love playing here and would recommend it to anyone.
It's the Emerald
Best course I have played on in New Bern and Havelock. The course is always in phenomenal shape, even when they are doing early season maintenance on the course. The greens are always in great shape and the bunkers are usually raked. The course superintendent does a great job of keeping the course playing shape all year long. If you want to play a fun and exciting round or golf; look no further than The Emerald.
Wet Unbelievablely Wet
Layout is nice...but it was built on a swamp so literally every hole is waterlogged...maybe it is playable during a drought in the summer but it is never going to dry in the winter...and fix the cartpaths...they were so rugged you had to go slowly or risk losing a filling...and when they say, cartpath only, you literally have no choice
Water course!
This course requires more accurate shots than power shots. Not a particularly long course just lots of dog legs right/left. Greens excellent roll very good.
Course holds water so I wouldn’t recommend after a rain event. Course would play much better when dry.
Great Course
Great course pretty challenging for a new golfer. Played in November after thanksgiving. Would love to see its real beauty in May or June time frame.
great way to spend time with a golfing buddy
the course was presented well. greens were in great shape and fairways and tees were in great shape as well.
Hidden Gem
I played this course several times. Ive always enjoyed the layout.
Greens always in great shape.
Best course in the area
Never disappointed here. Great layout . Great condition’. Great staff
Affordable golf
Course was wet (cart path only). But in great condition. Fairways some wide some narrow. Some water made things interesting. Greens fast and true. Price was great. I’ll be back.
Golf
Great course. Greens were quick but true. Mixture of wide and narrow fairways. Enough water to make it challenging. Played with two members very friendly. Cart path only made it rough. (3 months after knee replacement) but it was damp. I will come back again
Great Course
Course is in fantastic shape and the greens are fast and true. Will definitely play this course again!
