I don't get it

I don't know what course others are playing looking at their reviews. But other than the first time I played this course in Feb. 2017, it's been a major disappointment. Not sure I'll be back which is very too bad given the great layout.

There were dozens of nutsedge weeds in the fringe of every green. They appear as tufts of grass like like four inch high pin cushions and could impact any shot from off the green.

It had rained two days prior and every bunker was hard and had not been tended to. They should have been declared unplayable.

The girl at the register was pleasant. The electric carts are great and the courtesy towels on them are a nice touch.

Pretty sure they were doing the golf course aerification at that time. The weather wasn’t great either. Go back and give it another try!

The Emerald

Since I live in the neighborhood, I play this course almost exclusively. I'm trying to get my game back in shape so I've been playing from the white tees. My only complaint in so doing is the par threes are awfully short. The blues look much more challenging and I'm sure the tips will give most good players all they can handle. The course also offers yellow and red tees.

To me, the course is always in great shape except after a heavy or prolonged rain when the course can become quite soggy and it's cart path only. Otherwise it's carts anywhere. The greens are quick but true. The tee boxes are in good shape and the bunkers are weed free. The sand, however, is a notch above sandbox quality. The course is fairly open but there are some spots where the OB is fairly tight. The ground brush in the woods is kept to a minimum so it's tough to lose a ball unless you go way into the woods.

I think most golfers will find this to be the best course in the near New Bern area.
