The Emerald Golf Club

Yesterday was a great day for golf, just cold enough for a light jacket but even with the sun you couldn’t break a sweat. Had the wife drive the cart for me since it was cart path only due to the rain from the day before but still perfect for me.

Whenever I’m staying nearby I make the drive to play the Emerald. It’s a terrific design by Rees Jones that will be fun to play for all golfers provided they play from the correct tees.

On this visit I was fortunate enough to join up with two members who provided some local knowledge and made it a fun round.

I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this course to anyone. It’s a gem, worthy of its name.

Only suggestion would be 10 minutes between tee times instead of 8. 2 minutes can really make a difference on a packed course.

First time playing this course and it's in great shape. Greens are nice and firm and many undurations and slopes and mostly elevated so you have to land the ball in the green. Would love to play this course again.

Love this course. Have lived in the area for a few years and this place is my go to for a quick round with friends or a good range session. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable and the prices will not break the bank.

This round of golf was just such a pleasure. Everyone should try this great course.

I booked the course for 9:48am, but the course had me booked at 10:20am, with no explanation for me and my buddies. I guess their non-member players don’t mind standing around an unexpected extra 40 mins before playing. If they had a restaurant or bar, I suppose we might have indulged, but they do not.
