Nice, Wide Open Course
Emerald Greens Golf Course comprises two 18-hole tracks named Silver and Gold. This review covers only the Gold course. The first impression one gets when driving into the course property is that the terrain is as flat and uninteresting as the surrounding corn and bean fields. This turns out to be only partly true, as the driveway serves as a sort of dividing point between the flat fairways on the north and a few more gently rolling fairways on the south. The north fairways are sparsely lined with trees that are not yet very tall, as the course is only 17 years old. The rough is cut fairly low so losing a ball is not likely except in a few areas left as more “natural” prairie grass, but reaching these would require being quite a bit off the fairway. The greens are very well kept and very smooth, with no severe contours, and moderately fast. Most of the front nine is flat and boring, except for the 5th hole, a par 3 with a peninsula-type green surrounded by water on the left, and the 6th hole, a 210 yard par 3 with a pond to the left of the green ready to catch shots are pulled. The back nine provides a great deal more interest, especially the 15th, a slight dogleg left 413 yard par 4. Your drive from an elevated tee box must be long and right in order to have a good view of the elevated green. A tree guards the left side of the green, so a drive on the left side of the fairway will require a long high draw to reach the green. The 17th is a dogleg left 429 yard par 4. A bunker protects the inside corner of the dogleg and another fairway bunker on the opposite side of the fairway will catch a drive that goes straight instead of drawing into the fairway. Reaching the severely elevated green will probably require taking two more clubs than the straight line yardage. The course is not overly long, only 6,585 yards from the tips and with three additional set of tees going down to 5,004 yards. This, along with the wide open and mostly flat layout, makes the course a good choice for beginners, seniors, and walkers. No frills, but a decent course for the money.
Nice condition
Some of the tee boxes we being repaired, otherwise course is in nice shape.
Booked to play Gold, ended up on Silver
Pace of play was very slow and 1st tee Gold was stacked with 4-somes waiting to tee off. Talked to clubhouse and were told to play Silver instead, which worked out great.
Silver Course
Lots of construction going on around the grounds, parking lot(s), cart paths. Tee boxes need a lot of work as they’re quite small, not level and long grass.
Greens were slower than I like, and the fairways needed to be cut shorter in my opinion.
Overall, an average course that was more expensive than I think it should be.
Silver
Dirt parking lot , everything dusty. Only 2 people in clubhouse - long line to check in. Started late. Super slow round - over 5 hours.
Disappointing Day!!
I was scheduled to play the Gold course at Emerald Green on Sunday August 28. I made the reservation about a week before. On Saturday 27 we had a fair amount of rain that night leaving the course very wet. It was open, but with cart path only restrictions. Our tee time was for 10:56 am . I called the course about an hour before to say that as a senior golfer I needed to ride a cart more than just on the path. I left my name and phone number as instructed by their message, but unfortunately I never got a call back even though the message said I would. I did get a text that said my new tee time would be around 3:45 pm that day. My playing partner, my son, was unable to make that time due to a previous planned event and we never requested an afternoon tee time. I did play the Silver course a month or so earlier and would schedule a time for the Gold course again if I could use the fee I paid for the 28th round that I’ve not been refunded. My first experience with this course was fine, but this was terrible as they didn’t follow their own way of handling calls. Please let me know if I can get a refund from the 28th to use in the future at the Emerald Green course. Thank you.

Ok
We had to have the beer cart gal get a ranger out to get the 4 some in front of us out of the way because there was literally 8 groups backed up because they were so slow. After they were out of the way we played the back nine in an hour a a half. Course needs some water because the rough was hard as a rock. Greens and fairways were in decent shape.
Good day
I don’t hit it long so this course right up my alley. Slopey greens add defense making it a great day. I would hate to see it when wind is up
