The Emerald Golf Club

The course is very chalanging and keeps you constantly adusting tonits conditions. The views are gorgeous and the fairways are firm and easy to play on. The staff is friendly and always ready to answer any of your questions. I deffently recomend this course.

The course was in good shape and has a nice variety of holes. It's a fun track to play. Only down side was that they told me their actual tee sheet wasn't connected to GolfNow...but they got me out on time fortunately.

Love playing here. Great water holes with very scenic views. Cart paths could use some work removing tree roots. I'm not sure what hurt my back more the ride down the cart paths or swinging the club.

You could definitely tell that they just redid their greens. Excellent fairways and great pace of play! Highly recommend

Whenever, my wife and I are visiting the New Bern area, we make it part of our routine to play The Emerald. We truly enjoy this woodland course. The holes are well designed to provide unique challenges and rewards to the golfer. Multiple tees give each golfer a fair starting point for which to play depending upon their skill level.
There are a number of holes which bring water into play, so be prepared to hit high shots when called upon. We particularly enjoy the back nine, as it meanders through many wooded areas that are quite beautiful. When we played, we found the greens very fast, but running true. For the money, this is a great value, so if you are in the area, make sure to book a game.

Course is challenging without being unplayable for the average golfer. Greens are fantastic with above average fairways. My favorite course within 40 miles of Jacksonville.

The new bermuda greens they installed last summer are in excellent condition, and have been cut low.
The staff is first class, very friendly, and extremely helpful. A huge supporter of The First Tee.
Overall, the course is fun to play with adequate challenges.

Excellent course nice lay out very friendly will always return

Designed by Rees Jones, this course is a pleasure to play.
While I played in the early spring and the Bermuda hadn't yet sprouted this course was fun scenic and challenging. Heavy rains made long drives impossible but scoring was possible! This course is conveniently located to downtown New Bern. Staff is very friendly and they let me tee off early to avoid being slowed by men's groups playing.
Greens are extremely smooth and true. Tees were a ittle spotty but with a tough winter including more very cold weather than usual that could be expected.
If your in the New Bern area and have time this course would be a great choice. Cash is expected with Golfnow tee time but the course is worth every penny.

Really good course always in great shape. Staff is always helpful.

Excellent course with challenging layout, but very playable. Fairways had plush grass and very consistent greens. Cart paths are asphalt, and need a little work. Nice amenities, friendly staff.

Enjoyed the new greens. They are almost totally dormant but very playable. They rolled well.

I would and will play this course again soon. The staff at the pro shop were super friendly and Professional. I can't wait to go back in a few weeks. I will reccomend this course to my friends. I had a great time and was impressed with the new greens. I had my best round ever .

new greens are a welcome addition, the course is well maintained and has all the amenities for an enjoyable round of golf

The Emerald lives up to its reputation as a premier course. The fairways have a huge number of moguls, making for some challenging lies but mostly very good condition - it has been damp lately and there were a few muddy spots. The sand trap sand is light and fluffy, making for the need for precision hitting. The new greens are best of all - vicious to read but very true running. Pin placement can be extreme. One small disappointment was the par threes - they all look like the same hole!

The assistant pro, Ms Camacho (I might have this wrong) however she was an absolute blessing. She did a great job as far as pairing us up for a foursome to tee off. The course is in great condition, and the Greens roll true (Some of the best putting I've done in a while) They are still doing a little work with cutting down some trees and when I played the course was a little soggy due to recent rain, however it was a great playing course. I would highly recommend this course, especially if you can get it at a great rate on GolfNow

Nice course which is well maintained and a value for the money. Greens are new and in excellent condition, fairways and tee boxes are in good condition as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

The only thing bad about playing on this date was CART PATH ONLY

Played the course with friends and we each had a great time. Thought the greens were the best I putted on. Birdied the last hole which made a great finish to a wonderful day. Hope we get another opportunity to play this course again in the near future.

This used to be my favorite course in the area until they recently changed the greens from bentgrass to bermuda. Big mistake! Now they're just like everyone else, congratulations. If I want to play Bermuda greens I'll go to one of the other 50 courses that are closer to where I live. And if you're smart you'll do the same. I will not be playing there again.
