Great public course

This course is afforadble, in good condition, friendly staff, and it allows you to use every club in your bag, driver down. The only drawback is getting behind high school golf team that use this course. Best play time is before 3:30-4:00pm weekdays.

Fun an challenging.

This course has a fun yet challenging layout. It is relatively short on yardage, but has plenty of water and sand traps to test your accuracy. The course was in great overall condition with plenty of lush grass and nice greens. I really loved playing this course.

Best 9 holes in the Sacramento area!

This course is perfect for us not so young, not so great players who just want to play golf without breaking the retirement bank! Enough challenge without killing us. Wish they sold a beer for celebrating after the game!

Well kept course, crummy location

Everything is nice about this 9 hole par 33 course except the layout. If you can look past the power lines, towers, freeway and railways you'll love it. The fairways are nice, the traps are the best and the greens are primo. Not to mention the Emerald color ponds and tree lined fairways. They have a nice chipping area and practice trap along with both grass and mat driving range. Too bad it's laid out in a noise polluted location. Still it's a great practice track!

The course is a little challenge for the beginner.

This course is a little challenge for the beginner especially the 7th hole has a pond in the middle, a little missed calculation can end up swim for the ball. The 9th hole also have a pond and a longer fairway so a little bit unusual compared to the surrounding courses, the fairway is spectacular. Every hole is a challenger, the tall giant electrical pole blocking the fairway giving only a small amount of space to pass thru. You'd get a sense of nervous when tee off the first hole after that it'll take you to a second hole up the hill. Then into the third hole is a little privacy area surrounding by the tall redwood tree. The best time to play here in the summer is early morning or evening.

Short But Sweet.

Emerald Lakes is a short but sweet course. The course is well maintained and presents a few exciting holes. Emerald's par 5 hole has a narrow fairway, the par 3 is over pond, and final hole requires a precision shot off the tee, or a left to right fade. This 9 hole course is about 2400 yards and is fun size....SWEET!!!

Not going to lie I play this course a lot and over the years it has gotten better! The staff is friendly and courteous! The course is always in great shape! I practice here about 3 times a week and usually play nine holes 1-2 times a week and keep coming back! The value is there! They just take really good care of the course from tee to green! I recommend very highly!

A "gem" of a 9-hole layout

Picturesque, well-maintained course (greens in excellent condition...golfers, repair your ball mark plus one, please!) AND fairly challenging for the average player. We will definitely be back.
