Fun, fair price

Friendly beginner course. Well maintained and pace of play is good. Driving range, chipping green, and putting green are also a plus. Good value for the money and recommend for beginners to intermediate players.

Walking

I'm a 66 year old Senior and I love walking the course at Emerald Lakes 2x per which helps to keep me in shape. I consider Emerald Lakes my "home course" and I'm glad to see that the upkeep and landscaping has improved greatly over the last year. I would recommend this course to any Senior player whose looking to play golf and stay in shaping by walking.

What an improvement

I've played this course several times in the distant past. I played yesterday because a friend can only physically play 9 holes.

I was pleasantly surpirsed by the improvements that have been made to the course since I played it last. Most of the trees have matured, the fairways are filled in and most of the tee boxes are in good to great shape.

I'm going to be going back to play there more often.

Excellent Value for the money

Challenging layout for 9 hole course. Greens are in excellent condition and roll fast and true. Sand traps have new sand, fairways in great shape as well.

The only negative is play can get slow after 8am because high handicappers have trouble with the water and longer holes.

Play early and enjoy the best golf value in the Sacramento area.
