Just a outstanding course.... well worth the drive. Photo submitted by DKN08 on 07/11/2016
Played a round with my dad. Great time overall. Course was in great shape. Would recommend and plan on coming back. Not a long course from whites but can move back in tees if needed
I Played 9 Holes
All the staff were very friendly. The course is always in good shape. I play this course at least once a year with a monthly group.
Love the Emerald
The course is in great shape. Staff is very helpful. We enjoyed our round. Might be a good idea to put twosomes together to speed up play. Brand new golf carts!
Nice well maintained course
Nice layout and well maintained course green does not look good but rolls very well and fast much better than it looks it is very nice course but not worth for 2hour driving from home
Great track
This is, by FAR, the best public course in the New Bern area. I liked the layout, it was in good shape, and the greens rolled quick & true. I'll definitely be back!
Excellent course
Booked a round for a golf weekend with my dad, older brother and best friend and had an amazing time. Course was in excellent shape and we had a blast. I would expect to pay triple the greens fees where I live to get a comparable course.
Quick pace of play
Course was in great shape after all the rain we had. Went out as a solo and was definitely afraid of catching up to people. Never happened and played my own pace. Thanks for a great round.
This Emerald is a gem!
Course layout is excellent and conditions were spot on. Greens have some undulation, which adds to the challenge, but they were spotless and putted true. Loved it! Been going there off and on for the past 15+ years, always a pleasure, and it just seems to keep getting better. You'll not likely find a better course within 50 miles.
Very friendly staff, and very good layout of course.
We enjoyed the challenges of the water and sand bunkers.
Very nice conditions and friendly staff
The course was in very nice conditions and the staff is always friendly.
I think this is the best course in the New Bern area available to the public. The greens are definitely pro grade and speed. I play from the white tees but there are tee boxes available for all levels of play. Overall this course in in excellent shape for late April. The staff is very accommodating and they have a pretty good kitchen. Putting green and driving range are top notch. Being a semi private course they accommodate all comers very well. Great Course.
Well kept course
Great course for all handicaps including scratch golfers
Great place to play.
One of my favorite places to play. Course is always in great shape. We've had cold weather an lots of rain an course was better then others in the area at this time of year.
Good value. Staff is great.
Female Friendly
Golfed on March 28, 2018 for the first time at this course and enjoyed. So, we booked a Hot Deal round for the following day. Course was in decent shape considering the time of year.. Tend to think it will be a beautiful green course by May. If visiting in the area, we would return to this course.
Fun Golf Course
Great course for intermediate golfers. Challenging but fair layout. Good fairways and OK greens. Traps are in great shape and the rough is good. Good practice area. Great staff.
Great value
Is love to come back later in the season. Unfortunately I played after several days of rain and on a cool windy day. Great layout and even though the course had seen a lot of rain in early March, it was in great condition all things considered.
warm, windy day
the worst thing (and this isn't bad) was that the ground was wet and it was cart path only. The greens were really nice, it was just great when you didn't have to walk far from the cart path! The ground was soft but not soggy (still, it was a good idea to keep the carts on the paths) and the course was a fair test. I like the people in the clubhouse who are very customer friendly. It's a great place to play.
