The Club at Emerald Hills

Neglected- far cry from its history Should close it or make a commitment to restore

Fabulous layout but a fading beauty. Tee boxes and greens need water and attention. Range, putting and chipping green were closed. No snack cart. Really only worth playing at under $50 with cart. Hope someone resuscitates this course.

Used to be a great place. I drive 2 hours to play. The staff very nice and helpful. The front nine greens compared to back nine was like playing two different golf courses. Not sure what was being sprayed but they didn’t care if we inhaled it so maybe not bad lol. If front nine greens were like back nine I think I would have said better things just my opinion. Room for improvement could be great place with a little help.

Tee boxes need some TLC! Pace of play was frustrating so we skipped 9rh hole allowing us to move past the group in front of us and we continued on 10th.

Visited the Ft Lauderdale area recently and made a TTime at The Course at Emerald Hills. I had played here several years ago. I only had time to play 2 courses during this visit so I decided to revisit Emerald Hills. From the onset, I was concerned having experienced the first tee box and the first green. Throughout my round I experienced sandy, weedy and bare spots on the tee boxes. The front 9 greens were a mess. Most had patches of bare or weedy spots, some were aerated and top dressed. I experienced the same conditions on the back 9 tee boxes, the back nine greens were in better condition. Overall, the course needed quite a bit of work to warrant the exorbitant price especially during the off peak season.

The clubhouse was worn and dated. Definitely an old Florida vibe.

The layout had some interesting holes but given the conditions and price, I could not recommend this course.

For a municipal public course it’s pretty good. Very long yardage but manageable. The reviews had me a little concerned but tried it anyways. Glad I did had a great time, it was busy and most let me play through just a little better course etiquette from others that may be new to the game but other than that loved it. Proshop stocked pretty good and staff was incredible. Carts in decent shape and beverage cart was pretty efficient.

Afternoon round starting at three on Easter day finished in the dark over 5 1/2 hours, not that busy but no rangers keep pace. Tee boxes are a mess. A lot better value in SoFL. Too bad, gone down hill.

We were two groups of 3 and all really enjoyed the course. The quality and course layout is one of the best in the southern Florida region. There were some very unique holes. I would definitely recommend it.
