Just a outstanding course.... well worth the drive. Photo submitted by DKN08 on 07/11/2016
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.
I little wet, but playable
played the day after 2' rain. it was wet but playable. Greens were dry and fast.
Very nice
From the parking lot to the the first tee, everything was nice but not over the top. Staff was friendly and helpful. The course has a good layout, and provides a good challenge without being gimmicky. Six sets of tees should accommodate any golfer. The condition was great considering it was December in New Bern. Greens were firm, yet still held shots reasonably and were smooth putting.
Nice enough but doesn't stir the blood
Well organized course and overall it was in very good condition. Did not find great variety in the holes and few got you really thinking. Could not walk, as is usual , so probably not going back.
A true gem!
Excellent conditions...it was hard to get a bad lie anywhere. Friendly helpful staff. A must play if in the area again.
Fun Golf Course
I've played this course many times and enjoy it very much. Only downside is that it takes several days to dry out after a rain. Great staff and practice area.
The Emerald
The coarse conditions were excellent and it is M d November. The greens rolled very well. Great staff. Our foursome played 18 holes in 3 hrs.20 min.
Great Intermediate Course - not too long not too short
I enjoyed the round. It was cloudy, but did not start raining until I was on the 18th. It was challenging but not so much that it was disappointing. The course and greens were in great shape and the clubhouse amenities were good. I felt as though is was a great course for my skill level. I will definitely play again.
Best course in New Bern
I love this course! The staff is really great. The layout can be challenging but not punishing. The greens are in awesome shape, the fairways are super lush. It is the best kept course in town. You have a wide selection of tees to choose from and can accommodate the course to your level. The back tees challenge a longer hitter where you can play yellow or red tees and find a nice round awaiting. The Bermuda greens are fast down grain (as they should be) but roll true and you can hold them with a solid approach. I come back time and again. Always a joy to play.
Always have great service.
Very nice course. Had not played in a while. Just relocated to the area to retire. Only played it once before but I plan on coming back.
Bad course environment
The course was mediocre at best, I went out with some old pals to play and was very disappointed for the price. Plenty of better courses out there with way more respectful staff. During my day there the staff was very unfriendly to me and my group. Getting cussed at along with interruptions during our swings. But great if you are looking to spend your retirement fund on low quality golf.
Nice layout
Always enjoy playing the Emerald. Nice course, decent pace and friendly staff.
Great course for a great price!
Played this course twice. First time after a night of hard rain and although it was a little muddy.,.wasnt unplayable. Second day was perfect
It was an enjoyable day!
Staff was great. Course was in really good shape. will play it again
