The reviews about the greens from two months ago should be ignored. While not perfect, they certainly weren’t bad…actually rolled pretty well. Nice layout, pretty challenging and fun. My biggest criticisms has to be the condition of the sand traps. They need ALOT of help! Pull your ball out and play it from the rough. They also have quite a few dead areas in various places and quite a few washout areas that need some attention. But don’t let that keep you away, it’s still a fun course considering.

As mentioned by a previous reviewer there is no drinking water on the course. They do have beverage cart but only saw it once during a nearly 6 hour round. If they have marshalls they were no where to be seen, which caused the aforementioned 6 hour round. Granted, cart path only played a factor but the foursome 1 hole ahead needed some serious prodding.

Greens were rolling really well. Fairways were almost nonexistent-better off hitting into the rough right now.

The course condition is getting much much better than when they were at their low point several years ago. Good lies in the fairway and rough not overly penal…..but, the greens still need some work. They weren’t slow per se but they really didn’t have any speed to them and they were very bumpy which led to putts getting off line quite easily.

Several reviews complained about a few greens not being up to snuff which is true….BUT, it is still a very good course that is quite challenging. Fairways give you near perfect lies on every hole. Green speeds were delightful inconsistent but rolled well.

I have always liked this layout, but this course needs help. The fairways are average at best, lots of thin/ tight spots. Greens rolled surprisingly well and that was the highlight. The bunkers were absolutely horrible......what sand was in them was tighly packed into a wet muddy, but firm mess. I realize they have had a fair amount of rain but it is obvious that the staff puts no work into the bunkers. A quick rake every morning would at least make them playable.

I really like the layout of Emerald but the fairways were quite dry and suffering from lack of water and the greens were on the spongy side which made them very slow.

Was really impressed with how well the greens rolled and how true they were. Challenging layout with many mature trees that can interfere with many a shot. My only complaint would be the fairways. They are a bit sparce on playable grass. Could use a good overseeding of zoysia or bent. Would probably do well based on the quality of the soil I observed from my divots.

Many fairways were near bare, especially on the front nine. Greens were rolling slow and had a bunch of debris on them. Expected better but got a very good price with a 'hot deal'. Would play again at that rate.

This was a fun course to play. Many of the holes had a little character and most of thHappy Thanksgiving!!!e greens were guarded by sand which I like. I was very surprised at the condition of the course since it's winter but got lies in the fairway and the greens rolled really well. My only complaints are that they allowed a fivesome out and the previous players before me don't know how to fix their ball marks. That aside, I plan on going back after it greens up.

Course was sloppy but that's to be expected this time of year. Only complaint has to do with other golfers who don't fix their ball marks. I'll be back after it greens up!

I liked the overall setup of the course but the fairways were very thin in most places. The rough was playable and the greens were in good shape although they were rather bumpy. Navigating around the course was confusing at times so better signage is in order. If you can get a sub $25 rate this course is worth visiting but i wouldn't pay more than that in its present condition.

This course has a pretty decent layout and depending on pin positions you could find yourself in trouble. The biggest weakness with this course is that trying to find a decent lie in the fairway is challenging at best. The sand in the bunkers was fluffy and not packed down which was a plus but the greens are rather boring with very little undulations except for couple of tiered greens. If they put some effort into the fairways I would probably play again but I can play at better maintained courses for the same price or lower.

This is still a good course, but the fairways are super dry. We have had dry spells before but when this course used to be the Player's Club the fairways were never like this.
