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.

STAY AWAY FROM EMERALD HILLS!

This course was once nice, but not now. I can't believe they charge $70 in the summer (which I would happily pay for a nice course).

The tee boxes had no grass, the fairways were burnt. Greens were terrible and burnt.

It also took 5.5 hours to play on a Sunday which was the longest golf game I have ever had.

No grass golf course

Probably the worst course I have ever played. I’ve played over 100 courses in my life. The tee boxes had no grass mostly sand. The fairways had little grass mostly weeds and sand. The greens were very slow. The area around the green had no grass. Took 5 hours to play. No starter or ranger on the course. Staff didn’t care about anything. Very disappointed and would not recommend this course to anyone.

Good course, poor condition

Pretty long course. It’s too bad the maintenance is so far behind because it could be a much more beautiful course. The greens were fast but pretty scarred up.

Overall condition

Fairways were horrible. Looked like winter fairways in the north. Dirty golf carts. Poor t boxes

Maintenance followed us for 9 holes, they should be working backwards so golfers are dealing with it for one hole.. We quit after 10 due rain.

Injured falling due a poor maintained sprinkler head, twisting my ankle hurting my arm from the fall.

Great potential

If they sorted the tee’s out it would be a really nice course. They are absolutely terrible sadly.

What Happened

Played this last year around the same time and the course was in great condition.

Not so much this year. Badly landscaped 3 inch weeds in the tee boxes. Greens were rough. Badly maintained.

Nice Course & friendly staff

This course is long even from the Senior tees. The staff from the Proshop to the cart staff to the mobile beverage cart were all very friendly and helpful.

One of the worst courses

This was one of the worst courses I’ve played, the greens are not kept up at all, the driving range is basically just sand, and don’t get me started on the third hole. Even though it’s a “good price” it’s not worth it.
