Fun Course
Course was in pretty good condition for the season. Tee boxes were a little less manicured than the fairways or greens, but overall not too bad. Range was in good condition and the practice green matched the greens on the course. Definitely recommend playing if you’re looking for a course that has the right amount of obstacles and holes that are easy enough for beginners.
Play somewhere else if you can, bad shape and wish I had known
Greens bad, fairways ok and tees ok. Very average course and not worth more than $35. Go play emerald instead, 10 times better for only a little more money. Very disappointed I wasted a vacation round of golf here.
The only negative about the round, the greens. They had a lot of dead spots. Other than that, we enjoyed our round. The friendly staff, pace of play and the rest of the course was in good condition.
The Emerald is a gem
I a 20 year NewBern resident recently getting back into the swing of things and the Emerald is a course that has everything a Lover of Golf needs! The staff is always courteous and ready to help when necessary! The course is one of the few in our area that is in great condition!
Why is this a course
The course conditions are horrible the greens are so bad it looks like you're hitting through a desert with like chunks of maybe what you would expect greens to be. do not come here. They charge $11 for riders which is just a joke maybe because the conditions of the course are so bad it's like you're riding in a roller coaster.
Greens were horrible. Tee boxes were very lumpy and uneven.
Nice course
Played Friday afternoon. Very few people on the course. Good layout. Understand the course had deteriorated before the current owners took over. Still a lot of tree work to do. Club house staff very nice. Will play again.
Great Course
A few years ago the course was almost unplayable.
But now, after some very hard work and staff dedication, this is a very good course.. staff us wonderful, Members have a vibrant community. Small fun events year around.
The greens were exceptional
The staff was very friendly.
The fairways were good - the rough was thick an nearly.
The greens were exceptional - probably the best I've ever seen there.
