Nice course

Pace of play terrible! 2 groups in front of us, took forever. Groups of 3 and 4. We were a group of 2, they never considered letting us play through. The course is great, but waiting so long between shots made it not enjoyable. They have a starter who was friendly, welcoming and informative. They need a ranger riding around to force the issue of letting faster players play through. We even took a club to the group in front they left behind and they still didn’t acknowledge or suggest us playing through! The Emerald is a top class golf course, if they would monitor the pace of play they would be second to none!

Overall great course

The course is challenging as is beautiful. The only thing I would change is that the cart paths could use some love as they were a tad rough.

Pleasantly Surprised

Have seen this course advertised on another discount golf site, but never purchased. Was in town and this course was recommended by a resident.

Course fairways were in good shape, but the greens were in great shape. Will definitely be back!

Pleasant Surprise

First time visitor and paid $40 through golf now. What a pleasant surprise. Course conditions were fantastic from tee boxes, fairways, rough and greens !! Cart paths rough in spots. Pace of play got bad when we got behind one foursome that did not let us play through but overall a great experience !! Would definitely go back.

Good public course. Good value on hot deal.

I liked the layout of the course. Greens are in very good shape. They run fast and true. Fairways are average. Thin is some spots. Lots of water on the course so you need to hit the ball straight. Cart paths are awful. Carts are gas powered. It would be better without the cart paths. Pace of play was good. Right on 4 hours.
