Emerald Mountain Golf Club features an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Ward Northrup and is located in the peaceful hills along the end of the Appalachian Trail in Elmore County. The Club is located approximately 20 minutes north of downtown Montgomery near Highway I-85. The natural springs roll through the forests below amid the rugged beauty of deep ravines, rolling hills, serene untouched wetlands and unexpected hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. Emerald Mountain is destined to become one of the Southeast's premier golf facilities.

Give it a try...much improved!

I live in the area and have played Emerald Mountain several times. It has changed owners many times over the years but the current owner has done the most to improve it. Please remember the course was closed over a year so to get it where it is today is simply a miracle. It was only 9 holes for about 2 years but now is full 18 holes of really nice golf. I highly recommend playing it again if you haven't played in a while. Please also consider the rates, which I think are very reasonable at $30 plus tax on Fri-Sun and $25 plus tax on week days. Buddy rates and twilight rates also exist. For those that gave it 2 stars, I only ask to try it again. I am not an owner, nor do I work there, just enjoy golf and you will too and Emerald Mountain.

I played Emerald Mountain yesterday and as much as I hate to, I thought the course was heading in the right direction but it doesn't appear to be the case. The tee boxes were in good shape but the fairways were not cut and look more like a cow pasture than a fairway. In addition, the greens "look" good but they are spongy and very slow. It is unfortunate because as I said, I live in the area and would love a nice course to play on a regular basis but this one is not it!

Needs help

The course is tight. Accuracy a must. Greens are slow, bumpy and littered with crab grass. Fairways are pretty fair but hard, your ball will sit deep in the rough. The front 9 is closed so this is not an 18 hole course.
