90 yr old Fivesomes!!
Fun course, decent conditions for winter, great price, good staff. Round was ruined by a fivesome of 90-year-olds ahead of us that would not allow us to play through. When we went around them, they yelled and screamed at us. Pretty sad that a nice course like this would allow that to ruin the day for everyone.

Great Local Course
Very good challenge for a higher skilled player with the layout of the holes and the difficulty of the greens. Greens were in very good shape. .

Nice course in New Bern
Emerald was very nice. Solid layout with tee options for everyone. Greens were excellent and fast. Most putts broke a little more than it looked. Pace was on the slower side. Easy to book and fun course. Play it if you can!
