Great course!

If you have not had a chance go play this 9 hole course, you are missing out! They do an exceptional job keeping this course in mint shape. Not like other City courses where even the bunkers have little or no sand to properly practice hitting your ball out of it. The sand here is white sand, and thick to play out of. A great place to have a great time, and a place that challenges your every stroke. Thumbs up to the City of Elk Grove and Emerald Lakes staff in keeping this Golf Course in great condition. That for sure makes me want to come back and enjoy a fun game of golf! Try it you’ll like it!!

Great Nine Hole Course!!

If your looking for a great value and can only squeeze nine holes in, Emerald Lakes is for you. Course is always in great shape and the greens are always some of the best in the area. It has some short challenging holes and throws in a couple driving holes. Its also a good practice facility if that’s what you need. I’m there almost every week. The only drawback is when the local high schools play matches there. Play does get pretty slow.

Emerald Lakes is my home course

Of all of the local courses I play, Emerald Lakes is the one I visit the most. It has one of the best practice facilities around, so I am there most of the time just to hit balls or chip or putt. The facility is always in great shape and is used a fair amount by other local golfers.

Rates for buckets of balls are very reasonable and generally there's a spot for you to spend as much time as you want to practice.

The course has gradually been upgraded to where it is now one of the best maintained courses in all of Sacramento. Number 9 is perhaps the hardest hole on the course and is as good a short par 4 as any other hole anywhere. The rest of the course is challenging enough for any beginning to intermediate golfer.

I have never seen Emerald Lakes really packed with golfers, which for me as a local, is a good thing.

In recent months there have been several new people hired and they all have a real nice disposition and are excellent in serving all customers.

Good practice facilities Staff not so friendly , No food or refreshments,

One particular Marshall seems keen on unfairly hassling golfers of darker complexions. While ignoring similair behaviors of their white counterparts .

Just a, Headsup for golfers of color.

Too expensive for short nine hole course

This course is designed for beginner or family recreation, a city owned short none hole course as I understand.

I think green fee should be far less than what it is now in order to have more city residents family golfers and beginners...
