Emerald Lakes Golf Course

There after a storm , drains well , greens are in great condition for ares much play as they get

Every thing you enjoy on a course, challenging hole layout, well maintained from tee box to greens, & every green will test your skill.

The weather was a perfect, the pace was perfect and the grounds were well cared for.

Nice course for working on your game when you don't have a lot of time to spend on a corse.

Employees were friendly & the course was in great shape!!

Love this little 9 holer. Has a very challenging par 5, long and narrow, and the only floating green in Sacramento. If noise bothers you, don't play here, as it is tucked between the freeway and the railway, and between trains and car noise, it is like being at the airport. Great place to get in a quick nine, and you can use all of your clubs here. There is a lot of water, and sometimes where you don't see it.

The course is in great shape with some challenging holes.

The course also has a great practice facility.

This course is always in great condition and will challenge you on several of the holes. The greens and bunkers were in great shape. A great course to work on your game and not break the bank!!

Great course for all levels of player. Available driving range, practice pitching mound & putting green are available to warm up and practice before teeing off

Great practice facility. Course is short but well maintained, good greens. Should cover the AstroTurf driving range so you can get some shade in summer and cover during rain

Enjoyed my return to Emerald Lakes. Course is in great shape. Very few dry spots. Great greens.

The course looks good, greens are fast, the freeway is along property line and vary noisy. the other side is industrial and trashie. I think i will pass on this course.

Abit noisy from the freeway but a good course

Friendly and helpful staff willing to take care of a golfers needs. Well maintained course. Greens are like velvet. Fairways in check. Overall great place for a quick round under two hours

I am a beginner golfer and I could not be more satisfied with this course. The staff was friendly. Pace of play was great and the course was in great condition. I will definitely play here again..

Convenient location for us, quick 9 holes, nice / great conditions..

My girlfriend and I booked a last minute round online for a great price. Pace of play started a little slow, but picked up after the 3rd hole. This is a great course with a good mix of difficulty both of us enjoyed. I would recommend this course for all skill levels.

Emerald Lakes has a nice layout for nine holes. The pin placements are strategically positioned on the greens that require slight uphill and downhill putts. The greens were rolling smooth and swift, better swift than slow and rough.

First, I must tell you this write-up has a slight slant of being biased. I have been a Players Assistant at this nine hole gem for many years. I don't play the course much anymore for scoring purposes, but do practice there when needed. It is a par 33 measuring approximately 2350 yards. The slope is 106, but don't let that fool you. The course is tight and water is definitely in play on six of the nine holes. Club selection and placement is very important to score well. The greens are the best in the valley. They are sloping and undulating for the most part, but they roll true. I estimated about a 10 on the meter. Emerald Lakes is also a great practice facility often hosting more than one Long Drive Champion.

Mapped location of course on this website is incorrect. As a result I checked in 5 minutes after my tee time. The rude guy in the pro shop wanted to charge me an extra $12 for being late, even though the group I was playing were still waiting to tee off. The course was in decent shape but there are multiple distractions form honking cars on the adjacent freeway, passing trains, and overhead power lines.
