Burnt, slow, and expensive

Course is in rough shape, tee boxes are sand, greens had just been aerated but the price was still the same as always. Fairways were burnt along with the teeboxes that had grass on them. Oh and hole #3 was “closed”. Just a temp green shaved into the grass in front of the actual green. This course should be a $60 course but it’s double that….

Dads short getaway on vacation

Flood watch for 2 days. Kids going nuts in the room. Wife made me change hotels after the 1st night. Just prayed for a little time to myself. Cart met me at my car. No push to join a group. Cart path only. Every lie I had was great conditions (aside from the ones up against the tree stump but that’s just me). Even along the water! Pay half as much as Massachusetts and get 3X the experience.

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.
