Windy but wonderful

Felt like playing on links course with high winds out on the open prairie. Get a map of 9 hole layout it’s wild.

Greens fast and very fair I made some hole saving long puts.

Playing it again next week.

Fabulous Condition

I hadn't played this course in a few years, as I do not normally play nine holes only. The course was in fantastic condition throughout. Tees, fairways, greens were all extremely well maintained and groomed. I highly recommend the Emerald course.

A little pricey

You are usually paying 26-30 bucks for 9 holes and Tuckaway is 25 for 18 holes ( less than 10 miles away) However you can get on the Emerald just about anytime and it is always in good shape. I play about once a week and the staff is friendly

Perfect twilight golf deal

Green gardens has 45 holes to play and twilight golf is when this course really shines. The staff is really good about getting as many golfers off as possible by sending golfers off on 1st and 10th tees for blue and gold course but don't overlook the Emerald course. It has a true links feel and this 9 holer will have you using all your clubs to navigate thru fescue, waste bunkers and 3 different lakes. The 9th hole is the signature par 5 with an island green that is a real risk to reward finish.

Usually not too busy, play it in 60-70 minutes

Some old sand traps left to grow wild other than that in pretty good condition. Pretty challenging from the tips but you can play quickly.

I’ve played in an hour and with a Hot Deal it is great bargain. I play at least once a week

Review

I wish this app wasn’t so hard to navigate. I accidentally bought a 9-hole course instead of 18. I paid $40 extra for a round because this app wouldn’t let me cancel.
