The Club at Emerald Hills

Amazingly friendly staff however that can’t make up for the $140 we paid per golfer to spend the day on a dried out and poorly maintained practice facility, tee boxes, and greens.

Layout was fun however only got to use my driver 6 times so fyi if you drive over 250. Pace of plays is apparently 4 hours (signs everywhere) however we were 5 hours and no players assistant to help move things along. Tee boxes chopped, not level and full of sand. Greens burnt up. Beverages and food prices are sky high.

The staff sold it well with a rich history and that we would have a lot of fun but it is just not worth the green fees they are charging.

For the price, I was expecting a much nicer experience. It seems like they spend their money keeping the course in good shape instead of the facilities. It is a very long course so if you want to play long distances it could be a course for you. Just set your expectations low for everything else.

Course is in great condition. Greens are super slow and definitely need to be cut and rolled. Pace of play was pretty quick too — can’t beat $50 for a twilight, not sure if it’s worth $120+ at peak hours but to each and their own.

Played for the second time after being very disappointed in the conditions 2 years ago. Fairways are much improved and greens significantly improved. Greens a little slow but hold true. Rough is the rough. Stay out of it

I have never written a review but I felt this was necessary because the experience was so horrible.

Tee time 1:34 and they didn’t have carts for us so we didn’t tee off until 2:15.

We were 3 and they called us up with 2 carts ready and gave the two some behind a cart and let them play before getting us another cart.?? (Worst thing that could have happened )

The cart they ended up giving me was not one they let customers use and had mold all over the seat.

The attendant said he would bring me an updated cart and that never happened. It also had no sand to repair divots.

Also none of the carts have GPS.

You would assume the pace would have to be good but nope. 6 group pile up on the 5th hole so an hour to play just that hole.

Saw 3 rangers the hole day. On hole 2, 13, and 15.

All the rangers did nothing (1 even laughed when we asked him to ask the players in front to speed up.)

There was no players in front of the 2 groups ahead of us for 2 holes so didn’t think it was a big ask.

One ranger was a lady who avoided even talking to us and went to the bath room after we asked her to regulate pace of play.

The 2 some in front of us (father son duo) stopped to look for balls in the water (that wasn’t there’s)multiple times and then the son would drop his putter on the green and wait for his dad to get to the cart to throw the golf ball to him. On every hole!!

The greens were tore up with countless unrepaired ball marks, divots, and sand repairs.

On the 12th hole, some 2 some driving back to the clubhouse had their cart break down. I gave them my cart and the (3) of us hopped into one cart. The guys who took the cart said they would have someone bring us another cart.

Needless to say, never received my cart back and through everything we only got 17 in.

Course and staff are a complete joke and I would never play there again..

Maybe this used to be a nice course but they should feel ashamed they are charging $130 each because this is a $10 course.

Never play here.

My 1st time ever seeing the greens this slow with grass literally standing up like a front lawn. We were told they will be cut and rolled tomorrow. 🤔

Great course located near Hollywood. 20 minutes from hotels on beach. Nice range and putting green. Very friendly service. Course is in very nice shape. Good value. Nice clubs to rent at fair rate.

First 9 are a little bit easier than the second 9.

In general course in great conditions.

Carts doesn’t have a screen that shows you the field.

There is real difficult par 4 in the second nine wholes, which has an additional problem: there are always many ducks on the green and they make it really difficult to putt.

Rough conditions, no course mgmt from staff, 5hour round, conditions sub par for 125 fee, heard went down hill and agree. Won’t come back

Great layout that has fallen into disrepair as apparently management is not interested in investing into the course. Wrist conditions of any course within 50 miles but they charge more than any other. Don’t be fooled by the reputation. This course is simply not what it used to be. Look at all the recent reviews criticizing the condition and the slow greens.

I have okayed emerald hills regularly for the past 15 years and the past few weeks the course has fallen into condition that one would expect from a $20 municipal track. Paying between $140 and $175 for greens in that condition is a total embarrassment. Course is being sold in a year and a half and so management is saving money on getting it in good shape will gladly collecting high greens fees from guests.

If you are coming from out of town, please try one of several other courses in the area. It is truly sad how the course has become a cow pasture.

Loved the layout and condition of the course. No boring holes at all. Minor issue that the driving range is irons only and off hard mats.

Cindy in the bar was most friendly and all in the cart area very helpful.

Only wish that people playing the course understood the concept of etiquette. Very disappointing how disrespectful and entitled some people can be. 5 hours for a two-ball in a cart is very slow and only due to others in front that cannot keep a reasonable pace.
