Overpriced and neglected

I was excited to play emerald hills due to being from out of town and the wonderful history of the course. However, I should have left it on my imagination.

I arrived at the course an hour early and dropped my bag but no one was there. After about 5 minutes a gentleman came out and I was kindly greeted . Very friendly but he had to give me directions on where to go. The clubhouse looks dingy and when I was directed through the glass doors in the front of the building and entered, the building seemed as if vacant. I made my way to the pro shop where I was warmly greeted and charged $96 for a Tuesday 1pm tee time.

It was at this point I was informed that the range was closed but the putting green was open. The putting green was very small, with three holes, patches of dead grass, sand and signs stating that chipping was not allowed.

As I started my round I found more of the same. The course seems neglected. I didn’t see one employee in the entire round providing any course care and there was trash in virtually every body of water. The carts are old and provide no screens or technology.

Sydney saved the day with a cheerful attitude and drinks from the drink cart but the play was slow. A ranger came out eventually but we were already on 15 and the group behind us had called the clubhouse.

Overall would have expected to pay $40 for a round in this shape with so few amenities.

Average Public Course

The facilities are dated, tee boxes in poor condition, fairways decent, greens are in good condition but slow. The course layout is exceptional. I’m not from the area but feel like it may have been a little over priced.

Great Experience Fun Course

First time playing here. Really enjoyed the course

Somewhat challenging for my skill level. I was ompressed with the care and condition of the course. Very well maintained. The staff was friendly and helpful on the front end. Some of the staff in back seemed a little bothered by their job. Loved the scenery, the wildlife, great pace of play. Was a little on the expensive side for an out of towner. Overall, enjoyed the experience, highly recommend! Suggest better signage at the club house for dropping off bags and carts. Also, getting assistant staff to see the big picture in helping golfers have a good experience. I don't mind tipping for good assistance.

Nice challenge

Course has a number of holes with water and sand traps are significant defensive measure. Dog legs make several of the holes strategic.
