McCullough's Emerald Golf Links
Rating Snapshot
About
The golf course at McCullough's Emerald Golf Links is an 18-hole, public course that is situated within minutes of Atlantic City. Designer, Stephen Kay decided to pay tribute to famous European golf courses such as St. Andrew's in his design. The European influences are reflected in the open fairways, tricky strong winds, and undulating greens. The golf course also boasts the region's only 100-feet elevation changes.
McCullough's Emerald Golf Links' signature hole is the seventh; it is also the course's most unique. The hole features hazards like large bunkers and wide, rolling fairways. Water hazards also come into play on five holes. The acclaimed golf course is challenging but it does provide a truly unique golfing experience.

Great condition
Course in excellent condition for this time of year. Pace of play also excellent. Sand traps all raked and looks like new sand.
Fun Day
Overall good course conditions for this time of year.
Course review
Pleated in January so cost was cheaper. Conditions were a little wet and cart path only. Layout was great. Conditions very good for January. Fun course and would definitely recommend.
Don’t think twice, play it.
Really nice layout. Some great holes. Course was in great condition. Some great elevation changes for Jersey. Greens were extremely fast.
3 long par 3’s. Requires course management and shot making, but open and fair for bombers.
Can’t wait to play it again. Had a nice day, only 5-10 mph winds. If it’s blowing, good luck, then you’ll know want Scotland and Irish coast golf is like.
Only complaint was no driving range or short game area to warm up before round.
Definitely give it a go.
A few a little beat up and the two holes across the street are a waste. A couple of signs to point you to the next hole would be helpful .
Nice course to play again under less windy conditions
Very nice layout. Unfortunately, we played in 20-30 wind conditions. Not the course's fault. I would enjoy a round in good conditions. Great staff.
Links golf
Great course- a taste of St. Andrews! Only suggestion is a better course map as there are numerous blind shots.to landing areas. Do not miss playing this course!
