Course is run down

It was $98 to play this course during the summer and the tee boxes and greens were in bad shape.not to mention the carts have no gps and the course is poorly marked for yardage. We won’t be back

Fun course

This is a challenging course. Really fun to play with a great layout I def recommend to you lay just be sure to give yourself 5 1/2 to 6ths to play. Over booked the last few times I’ve played and super slow pace of play. We had to wait on every hole for multiple groups to finish.

I have been playing here for years was always in great shape and the greens were always rolling. Not sure what happened but man it's BAD! No heads up from the pro shop just happy to scam 100$ off you won't be back.

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.
