The layout of the course is interesting, challenging and features perfectly manicured lush, rolling fairways. You'll be glad you experienced this excellent combination of hole designs and truly great golf. Water comes into play on 10 holes.

First timer….

Fiirdt time playing this course and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. How I didn’t know or hear of this course in the past beats me.. The layout of the course is fantastic… definitely a players course. Very long and narrow . Quite a challenge. To the northerners, don’t use this course as an opener. You wanna be warmed up.

A few of the tee boxes were over grown and could stand to be mowed. A couple of the greens had bare patches but didn’t affect playability. Very friendly staff , and nice bar . Special shout out to Travis at the pro shop. Cool dude, we bought a lot of merch. 👊🏽

NOT worth the money

The course condition was way out of line with the price paid for a round. Expected much more. The Tees had long grass, fairways had issues and soe of the greens were also not acceptable. They knew that they had issues and should be offering players a break in price while they correct the problems. Shame on you Emerald Hill

AVOID

I’ve been playing golf for 25 years. Never in my life have I seen the tee boxes have 5 inch grass like I was in the rough at bethpage. The tee box!!! I You may think I’m joking, haha it couldn’t be that bad, no it was worse than you’re imagining. I had to tee up from any patch of grass I could find, which was usually in the actual rough between the tee markers. Absolutely absurd for a course costing 150. I wouldnt pay 5$ to play this place again. Stay away. The layout of the course is nice but whoever runs this place should be ashamed

Poorly maintained

Tee boxes not even mowed, course feels run down in general. We came from out of town so also had to rent clubs. Close to $400 total for the two of us at what felt like a marginal course felt over the top

Overprices

Tee boxes and greens in very poor condition. Not worth the price they are charging for these green fees.

Greens keeper blues

I have played this course plenty of times,last season and prior years the course was maintained really well and the greens were almost at tour levels,I was basically in shock when I putted on the first green and for the rest of the round,patchy,thin,and super slow,a course employee said the old greens keeper left,who knows but they are charging very high rates $160 and up, I guess because it’s close to the Hard Rock Casino,but to be totally fair,the conditions now,it’s a $55-60 golf course

Bad experience. Not worth the money. 300% over price.

All tee boxes were terrible and muddy. Greens were in bad condition about 9. Not worth the money. 300% over price.

Emerald Hills Round

Course is a nice layout and challenging. Pace of play was ridiculously slow. Packed to many people on., need to spread out tee times a little to take care of this problem. Tee box conditions not very good. Greens super slow and shaggy

Not worth any type of money

There was nothing on this course that justifies the price. 150$ is the worst price for this course. Place is a nightmare.

Late December round

1. I really like the layout. Fair but challenging. Good mix of par 4’s and approach shots.

2. The greens were running very slow on that day. I was paired with a local who said it was the slowest he’s ever seen for that course. Maybe just bad luck.

3. Pace of play was very good.

4. The only marked yardage was red, white, and blue (100, 150, 200) in the middle of the fairway. They did, however, provide a yardage book, which was decent.

5. I thought it was a bit overpriced but maybe I just played on a day when they were performing maintenance on the greens. I’d bet this course is an interesting place when it dries out and the greens are running fast.

6. I would play here again.
