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.

Good prices. Great staff. Course needs love.

The staff and pricing are very good. Great people and I think the price reflects the state of the course. Hopefully they make improvements to it. Layout is good.

Nice course. they give you water bottles - which is nice, better than having occasional water coolers. The best hole is the Hardrock Guitar hole. But the tee boxes and fairways need more watering, grass, and landscaping to transform this into a top-notch course.

Emerald Hills city

For a public course, the staff was great, the grass was green, the greens were pure, smooth and not too fast. AND, the price was no higher than many other local inferior courses. White white tees at 5,300 and back tees a 7,900, it's a challenge for any level.

Good value for nice layout.

We've played EH golf course many times over the years. The price was fair for the offseason, and the course was pretty empty for a morning tee time. The greens ran a little slow, and one par 3 on the front was almost un-puttable, but they are in decent shape the rest of the way. Played from the Blue tees to accommodate an older player in our group, and those tee boxes were in horrible shape for the most part. I would typically play one back and those boxes looked better, as well as the tips. The blues must be the most used. We never saw a beverage cart, but it was a slow day. If someone passed by at least once that would be nice. It was an overall good round, we'll be back there.

Great course

I've always liked this course and in the past it has been in great shape. I did notice some of the greens are in horrible shape along with some of the tee boxes. Sad to see this incredible course not kept up.

Course has seen better days

One of the golfers in my group had played the course 15 or so years ago and raved about it....Not anymore. While the layout was fantastic the course is tired and the conditions were poor. Range was in awful shape. Tee decks unkept with little grass, greens on the front were rough especially the first par 3 which is unplayable. The fairways were good and the greens after the first 3/4 holes were pretty good and the best feature. Clubhouse is tired, mould in the locker room.

You can tell at one time this was an exceptional course but unfortunately not anymore. The staff were exceptional from start to finish! Unfortunately this course needs ALOT done to save it. I hate to say i don't recommend.

Good but not worth the money.

I tried this course because the courses by me were all full so I figured why not. The course is in a good spot and has the ability to be phenomenal. The staff was amazing and extremely friendly!! Where this course losing it for me is the cost. I don’t mind spending over a $100 for a round of golf, but it needs to live up to the hype and it did not. I saw that the course was advertised with GPS carts and they did not have them. The course was in decent shape with only 1 green that was bad, but still needed work which you could see they were doing. For the conditions of the course the price should have been lower.

What a shame

What was once the best course in south Florida now has greens that the worst municipal course would be ashamed of. Big holes in the greens, running maybe a 6 on the stimp. The owner is closing the course in a year to make it private and the condition shows. I can’t wait until Hollywood beach opens and there is somewhere else to play.
