Just a outstanding course.... well worth the drive. Photo submitted by DKN08 on 07/11/2016
The Emerald
Almost didn't play here because of the weather. It was 43 degrees with wind chills in the mid 30s. The course was still saturated after being rained on for a few days prior. Got a hot deal from golf now,so decided to play anyway. Really enjoyed the layout. Greens,tees and bunkers were in great shape. Only a handful of players out there that day,so pace of play was not an issue. Would like to play again in warmer and dryer conditions.
Great course for the money
Great course with friendly staff. One of my favorites. Plan to come back.
Nice lay out
Nice layout with nice greens...18th hole is a little tricky.
Very nice course
Another Great course on the outside of New Bern. Members, were super nice. The course was in Great shape. The greens were Super Super fast. One of fastest greens, I have ever putted on.
EMERALD GOLF
THE GREENS ARE OUTSTANDING BUT STAY BELOW THE HOLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Well worth it
Played on a hot deals rate. Bermuda greens were in great shape, as was the rest of the course, and pace of play was only 4 hours. Friendly and welcoming staff and challenging but fair layout. Love it! Going to play again while on vacation here! Can't beat it!
Raincheck
Only got in 9 before rains came. There should be a rain check policy.
Nice course
Enjoyed playing this course...wife & I were both comfortable....ProShop was expecting us & no hassle..course is not monitored & a 5-some in front held everyone up ..only let one group thru...they are out there everywhere thinking they are the only ones on the course
Great layout
Outstanding greens!!! Definitely would play again.
Great layout
I played in December so most of the grass was dormant but the greens were smooth and true.
Played with a member who showed me the way around. Can't wait to play it again when I'm back during the summer.
Great Course!
Significant improvement after '13 work on the course. Great greens. Rough is playable. Great greens!
can not beat the prices
great greens nice traps? real nice staff I would repeat!!!! thank you for having me
enjoyed the course
Course was recommended by pro at River Bend. The course did not disappoint.
Challenging. Wind was a factor.
A hidden gem of New Bern, NC
Challenging holes that reward a well placed tee shot and or approach shot. Greens that are med-fast and undulated provide true roll and break for smooth stroking putters. The course will lash out and bite if you're not careful. I'm an 8 HC and chose the blue tees (6350 yds) for my first round-good choice! Next time I'll head to the black and add a couple more hundred yards to the round. Long sorry short, you'd be hard press to not enjoy a round at The Emerald!
Always good course, slow play everytime
conditions were perfect, played from blues, scored well, great people, BUT pace of play was slow again, very frustrating
Emerald Was A Jewel
Wife and I played this course for the first time on Sept 19th...most excellent course...everything about it was very pleasant..Greens were in excellent shape making them extra fast, but fun to putt on...fairways were well mowed...cart paths were in good condition...we played with Ben and Phil...two very fine gentlemen...just enjoyed the round very much. Would recommend this course for sure
Ackward Day at Emerald
Upon arrival golf shop staff was indifferent, took my payment and told me to grab a cart while we figure out whether you're going off #1 or #10. When he met my at cart he asked me to follow him to hole #4, OK not that big of a deal. The big problem was they were doing maintenance that day and 2 mowers and the worker top dressing the greens followed me for the first 9 holes I played. Not a pleasant experience when you're following other players and feel rushed for the first two hours by the maintenance crew.
Now for the course - greens were decent, fairways OK, and the layout was just average. Overall it would have been a good day of golf were it not for the inconvenience of being rushed because of maintenance.
Awesome!!!!
If I could make a single suggestion it would be for a beverage cart (it was an extraordinarily hot day!), otherwise an AMAZING course, OUTSTANDING condition, EXCEPTIONAL friendly staff, TERRIFIC pace of play, BEAUTIFUL course and surroundings. My favorite GolfNow outing so far!!!
Busy afternoon good response by staff
Signed up to play as a threesome and found the course extremely busy due to upcoming tournament practice rounds being played. pro and staff did a great job getting us in line and turned a possible hour wait into an on time start. Course is in great shape.
