Awesome

Went out after work for a quick 9. Super fast greens, great layout, and lots of fun for a cheap price. Will definitely play this course again in the near future. My 11 year old daughter was with us and the staff were very friendly to her and us out on the course. People there were awesome and even picked up a single walker to join our group and was a blast to have play with us. Can’t wait for the next adventure there!

Great Course/ Prohibitive Cart Fee

The course, range and staff are great. However, their policy of charging for a non-playing rider in the golf cart is unacceptable. This is a public course and that fee is normally limited to private courses or high-end public courses. I will not return until that fee is discontinued.

Emerald Lakes is a gem

Emerald Lakes maybe an executive nine hole course but it has everything a golfer needs for a challenge and the course is always in excellent condition. Best greens in the valley. It is easy to walk but has water on many holes and is challenging. Par 3's are both short and long and the one Par 5 is a narrow hole OB on the left!!.......Always fun to play.

Pretty good local course.

The greens here are in great shape. The layout is not bad but it’s pretty cramped but manageable nonetheless. Fun variety of holes.

Great Condition

I’ve played this course many times and never I am disappointed. The maintenance crew keeps this course green and very playable. The greens were perfect. The fairways were perfect. Not much dry spots. On the last hole before I hit my approach shot, the guy was watering the green. We all know we’re in a drought but he’s still watering the green. That shows me that they care about the way the greens are kept in top shape.

Great 9 hole course

Great place to play. Play 18 from 2 different tee boxes for a little bit more of a challenge. Some of the best greens in Sacramento. I wish it would get a restaurant/bar though. Can't wait to play again.

Carts

Emerald Lakes golf course, my playing partners and I usually have a good time playing gold there. But today 6/25/2022 (Saturday) we had a tee time for 12:40. Check in was fine, the golf range was good but that is where it ended.

I asked the golf starter if they will be carts available by the start of our tee time. She stated that there will be as the golfers would be arriving in from their round. Because I seen (4-5) carts of just single people going on without playing golf to just watch people play golf.

So as our tee time came there was no carts left and there was another person waiting for a cart to go catch up and watch someone play. So we let other (2) group of players go in front of us who was walking. We didnt play because we saw no one coming up the 9th fairway with a cart(s). Today was POORLY ran.

I suggest to CALL ahead and ask to if the tee times are on time and if you are using a cart to see they are available.
