Great holiday venue course with beautiful views

Emerald Lakes is a great holiday course - you can make it as challenging as you like from the different tees

It’s flat so an easy walk and not long so easily completed in 4 hours even if the group ahead are slow

It represents huge value for money with an interesting layout with generous fairways and big greens a feature

Green rolled well despite the heavy rains the course had experienced

It’s not St Andrews but you’ll still walk off feeling happy especially if you par the beautiful 18th

Good course not too difficult if you know where the water is

I think the greens had been treated recently as it was difficult to get a true roll but other than that many positives about the course. Would recommend to friends.

A real gem

What great value for money compared so called superior gold clubs. Great club house for a feed and drink after the game. The course was in very good nick, but the practice range was usable but under repair. Practice greens very good and true to the course. I found later the chipping greens were in another location. All in all a very enjoyable day and i will return.

Looking for a new club to join

Course was a bit wet but an enjoyable range of 3-5s . Course has a lot of water so could be a lot of lost balls for beginners , but a very good test of accuracy for lower handicap players. The greens were in great condition, and with it being my first time playing this was very pleasing. Good bunker placements around the course to challenge longer hitters as well as test accuracy with approach shots into the green. Staff in pro shop were great and very friendly, did have a slightly weird altercation with a course warden when I moved slightly off the path to let him past, he got quite confrontational , I was only trying not do him a favour. But regardless of that I had a great visit, will come back for sure and am definitely considering emerald lakes as a potential new club to become a member of.

Good course to practice

Flat course, easy to walk.

90 degree rule for cart, so field condition is good.

Will visit more times during my stay at Gold Coast.
