Best 9 hole course

A great fun course with a par 5 and several par 4s. Wish it was 18 holes. Greens are fast.

Great conditions

This course is always well kept, the bunkers, fairways and greens. Greens are fast with tough pin placement making it challenging but fun. The course has a couple drivable par 4s for those long hitters willing to go for it. A really nice island par 3 and 2 tough long par 3s. Pace of play can be slow at times but that can be true of any course.

In great shape!

This course is in great shape considering all the weather we have had in the last month. Greens are absolutely pure and rolling true. Fairways are in good shape. I play here once or twice a week and it has a good amount of challenge for the average player.

Fine Nine

Walkable course that has been improved significantly over the past few years. New management commitment to quality course is evident and higher public attendance is the result. Well managed and conveniently close for Elk Grove residents.

SEVEN STAR review.

This gem of a 9 hole executive course deserves a 7 star review today. Perfect weather in the low 60’s , clear blue sky, well manicured greens and the fairways. Super friendly and courteous pro shop staff made a day great for us. He is courteous and has efficiency in the player/pace management by letting us start 20 minutes earlier than our tee time. There are some places where the staff just insist the players wait until the designated starting time, even if there’s absolutely no players in sight on the course for only 5-10 minutes early.

Sand bunkers had enough sand even after the severe rain and storm the last several weeks and the greens are very clean and fast enough. The only thing that might matter is the portable washroom that has been in need of improvement. Tree management in the fairways was well done. The ponds and lakes can use a little more cleaning. Same with some refreshment facility.

I still think this course has a lot of potential to make it a 18 hole championship course. There is enough land space there. Thanks for keeping the coin an excellent condition and thanks to GolfNow for making this course known to the public.

Fantastic day for a practice 9 hole round and still a good workout day.

Beautiful winter day for a round of golf in the mid-50’s weather. Lots of sunshine and clean course. Greens and fairways are well maintained and the water fountains shooting up toward the sky. I wish the course was a 18-hole championship course. There’s enough land for that. They built a multi million dollar casino right along the freeway. Why not a nice and healthy sports complex? Elk Grove city is losing a good revenue generating opportunity. I wish I were not 85 but 75 years old so that I can participate in the city planning. Well, thanks Emerald Lake golf for keeping the golf course great and kudos to GolfNow.
