Challenging

This course has always been challenging.

Played it at least 12 yrs ago when the conditions were supreme but has deteriorated since. Still a great layout with challenging holes but the greens were like velcro.

We unfortunately were paired with 2 very slow players and had a 3some ahead of us that were also beginners which lead to a 5 hour round.

Staff is extremely friendly and they offer free bottles of water.

Great layout with memorable golf holes

I played it a couple of months back and it was raining and so wet it was almost unplayable. But this last time things dried out, the course was mowed, greens were decent and it was very enjoyable. Played with good players there for their first time here and both loved the challenge. You need to play it before it turns private!

It was a nice course. But the pace of play on the day was horrendous and tarnished the experience.

course conditions were terrible

Emerald Hills is a great course, challenging and beautiful to the eye. However, without any notification, the course was cart path only?? There had been no rain for a couple of days. There were areas of the fairway where the grass was longer than the rough and finally, the greens weren't rolled. My son and I walked off after 9 holes b/c the conditions and the exhaustion of walking to our ball and back to get clubs was too much. A headsup would have been nice before teeing off. The proshop directed us to a Cart Path only sign that was hidden behind a cart by the cart shed, not visible to the players going out.

Challenging course with interesting layout

I have not played Emerald Hills for nearly ten years and I wasn’t disappointed by the challenge. The course is an excellent layout with many challenging holes. There are several tee positions and not having played for three months I found myself moving to the white tees after several holes. The course conditions were good but it could use some attention on several tee boxes and a few greens. My handicap has been between a 13-15, but I am probably playing a 17 now; I’m 80. Bottom line, there are not many tracks open to the public in South Florida as good as Emerald..
