Emerald Vale

Course was in good condition. Greens were recently punched, but had little to no effect on our putts.

Overall excellent value and really nice layout!

Exceptional Value

Great price. Course was in great shape. Some wet spots, a few greens have some rougher areas, but overall the course is in very good shape. Very fun course to play.

Worst corse ever

The worst corse I have ever played. Full of so many bees and bugs. Filled with weeds flowers bees and mosquitos on fairways greens and rough. Tee boxes are in terrible shape. I actually want to quit golf after playing at this course. Biggest waste of money even with a deal.
