Rating 71.7

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.

Very Nice

Nice challenging course. Conditions were great. I scored a Hot Deal on an off day and it was foggy, so I can't really comment on pace of play. I have driven by more than once to see a backup on the 1st tee on popular golf days.

Overall, I will definitely go again.

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.
