Outstanding staff - golf course condition good

Never seen greens made with sand…incredibly fast.

Tee offs could have been in better conditions.

Lay out great in general.

We had a good time and we were not rushed.

Staff was really nice.

I've played this course, once before. The fairways are great, the bunker . The greens were in optimum condition. We only had one problem, a very heavy rain fell, but we waited half an hour and went back to play and there was a lot of accumulated water. I would play again without a doubt. With the application I was able to play at a cheaper cost.

Good course design.

The Greens on his course were running at about 14. For an armature player it was almost impossible to putt. The fairways were less than average, there were large wet spots in some of them despite the fact there hadn't been any rain in weeks, The fairways had large weeds and were not mowed. At the beginning of the round the started warned us that the golf carts were unreliable may just stop running. If you are going to play Emerald Hills, be sure and pick the correct tees, the course plays a lot longer that the card.

Great course, poor management

I arrived early, met friendly staff, had some breakfast, started well. I was paired with another single and a twosome and we were kind of rushed out, the course was backed up and it was a long round, should not have been so jammed up but I expected as much on a Saturday. I did not expect to be run off of the course with 2 holes left with the explanation of yeah we have a tournament starting this afternoon , we'll give you a raincheck for 9 holes. I live in Tampa, I play nice courses when in south Florida 3 or 4 times a year, I cannot use a raincheck and asked that I be able to finish my last 2 holes. I was told unequivocally "NO". When I returned to the clubhouse the cart return attendant could not believe that it happened, did not want to accept a tip. I tipped him and told him the cart guys have nothing to do with this issue. I intended to purchase some merchandise in the pro shop, hat, shirt, etc. and probably would have returned to this course, after the poor treatment I did not buy merch and will not return. Horrible experience, I will not recommend this course to anyone I know.
