Way too slow

I teed off at 10:46 am and I know there are players in front to me, but two groups in ahead of me were really really slow.

They took too much time on the green and overall play was extremely slow.

I played several times and it is good course but this time I did not enjoy playing due to slowness.

Disappointment

I love the layout of this course. It keeps you on your toes as it requires good ball striking to navigate it.

Didn't play it for a year so it was diappointing to see course conditions particularly the greens. It was cart path only which slows down pace of play but playing behind a 5-some didn't help either. This course use to have some of the best greens in S. FL but it is less than average. I drove 30 miles to play it but can't say I will again unless I know it has markedly improved.

Challenging Course - Lots of Fun!

Course was wet from heavy rain the previous days, yet this was still a very fun round! Definitely one of the better courses in the area and challenging for the average golfer.

I don’t understand all the positive reviews

This course is not well-maintained, pace of play was terrible, The carts are not maintained either, overall I don’t understand how this is any better than your average $30 municipal course. See the pictures. Would not recommend.

Nice golf round at Emerald Hills

It was all very good. from the arrival, the attention, the state of the field. At one point we had to stop playing because of the strong storm and the bar service was also very good. We were able to complete the Round with no issues. We will play again without a doubt.
