The Club at Emerald Hills

I played here before in conditions that were damp and overcast but today's round was in bright sun and a lot of wind. The course is in good condition and has a layout comprised of doglegs left and right, frontal water hazards on a few holes, lateral water hazards on a few holes, and straight away long drive type holes so it's well balanced. I played from the white tees which are 6100+ yards but there 4 other sets of longer tees if you need more of a challenge. The 371 yard 13th hole is extremely difficult requiring a drive of about 150+ yards to clear the water and we were hitting into the wind. Once you clear the water off the tee, you then have a 150 to 200 yard shot over water to the green. Or you can do what I did and layup. Bring your A game. Pro shop was attentive as were the golf cart staff and marshalls.

Overall, the course was fine. Amenities were limited, however.

Challenging course - nice layout but pace of play was slow and no ranger to speed play . Amenities were great.

I thought the course layout was great. A lot of the greens had patchwork like they were repairing them. The tee boxes were very high grass needed to be cut. I think the price would’ve been fair if the course was kept up. The staff was great. They did have a lot of people out there working on the course. I’m not sure Why wasn’t in good shape. Overall B minus

For the price I expected better fairways and faster greens

Needs a bit of care around the course if you want to charge that kind of money. I love this course and go every year, but prices ranges from 89$ from CanAm, to 138$ as a Hotdeal on GolfNow, to 169$ if you book at the course... Lets get serious.. The course is interesting, but the greens were slow and speed uneven from one hole to the other. I've seen it in better shape. Will return, but I will check to make sure I have my money's worth.

I lived in emerald hills for years from the mid 70’s to the late 90’s and played the course many, many times. I remembered it as a quality course that was well maintained. Unfortunately it’s no longer that course. The fairways were desperately in need of a refresh and the tee boxes were just terrible. Many I’m being too harsh because I’m now used to playing well manicured private courses but emerald hills is no longer a premier course
