What you'd expect

$14 for 9 holes... it's what you'd expect -- slightly rough tee boxes and shaggy greens.

This course was okay...

The area was beautiful, but the course needs some TLC on the tee box and some areas of the fairway. Other than that the course was fun!

Practice course only

This course is a great par three practice course if you are strickly working on your wedges and high irons. Don't come to this course if you are wanting to get solid putting practice. The greens have almost no break and they are very slow. The pace of play is pretty fast considering that I didn't have anyone in front or behind me. If you are looking for a quick round and a little bit of exercise, this is a course for you.

Billy Goat Hill

Emerald Hills is dubbed Billy Goat Hill by the locals. Great little course if you like a workout with your golf. A lot of elevation changes work up a good lather even though the course is only 1100 yards. Leave your woods at home, Small, well kept greens make this an ideal place to practice the short game.
