Emerald Hills gc

Difficult par 3 course with small greens. Only need to bring 7,8,9 irons, wedges and putter. Greens roll pretty nicely. Good for kids learning to play golf and people working on their short game.

I played this golf course in the past with my kids long ago and the conditions is still the same today decent the greens are soft and bumpy. It’s all par 3 hilly up and down golf course good thing it’s only 9 holes. I used all in one Q club and made a hole in one on hole 9, 100 yards and adjust setting to 9 iron.

Great par 3

This place is a great one as it has a nice variety of distances from the tees. You’ll hit a few different irons and wedges. Makes for a fun round. The greens were just sanded so they’ll be in great shape by Easter or just after. Will be back for my next round.

Hillside Par 3

This all par 3 raps around the top of mountain bluff. While this a short 9 hole course. The change in elevation makes it much more challenging than the typical par 3. With the nine hole walking distance of two miles and an elevation gain of 250 feet leads to many holes way below or way above the tee. Greens were a little smaller than usual, yet in good condition compared to the reasonable cost to play. Two holes required shots over the trees to hit the greens. Golf carts are few and reserved for more senior players. The condition of the fairways and walkways is on the fair side. Even so, I found the course to be a challenging experience and after playing twice a good workout for a golf game. I will go back again.

Fun scruffy very hilly nine holer, quite a workout.

Small greens that ran fast, rest of the course in ok shape. Good mix of holes and a good place to work on your short iron game.
