The Club at Emerald Hills

One of the best course layouts I have ever played. Great golf holes. Pace of play probably slow because of difficulty. Crowded on day I played. Condition of course could be better otherwise this would be considered a truly great golf course.

Nice course very close to Fort Lauderdale beaches. Old school course that has been well maintained. Good condition for time of year. We booked at $120, which is about $30 more than the ten pack you can buy at the course. For the location and time of year, I think the value was about right. They provided an awesome course guidebook that was extremely helpful for a first time player.

Save your money and go anywhere else. Greens have sand and dirt patches everywhere. Tee boxes are a joke and this is the most expensive place on golf now in the area. Come on man!!!!

Nice staff though!

The course layout has potential to be one of the greats in Florida. Tremendous layout and unique challenging holes. Very difficult and a great test of golf. I played the black tees at 6900 and it gave me a great test. Cons: greens were slow and in general very poor condition. Especially for the price we paid I was extremely disappointed. Fairways were ok. Tees were average. Pace of play was also bad. 5 hour round. Would maybe play again for the challenge but at 150 for a hot deal it’s a hard no.

The course conditions has improved a lot. As always the Pro-Shop, starter and Bar service has always been great. Pace of play was slow no fault of the Club. The green fees could be priced better. Overall I always enjoy playing Emerald Hills!

Emerald Hills is a fairly challenging course. Very nice big greens. Some fairways and rough were not in pristine condition but there had been alot of rain. Multiple carries over water.

I was told this use to be a great course but its not anymore. Parts of the greens were dead and unplayable. Dried up fairways and just overall lack of maintenance. The conditions of the greens alone warrant 1 star.

We chose this course as it was near the airport and we had a flight to catch. We tee-ed off at 9 and by 12:30 we had only done 12 holes.
The course design is nice but the condition of the tee blocks were poor and the greens were slow and recently sanded.
We left after 12 holes and the staff were quite rude when we told them that they are backed off.
The pace of play was the worst of all the courses we played in Florida!!!

The course layout is challenging and the variety of holes is excellent. The greens were not in the best condition but still playable. I got in on a special from GN otherwise I wouldn’t have played and paid full price. Overall this is still a excellent choice if you don’t mind paying a little extra

I don’t often leave ratings, but I couldn’t help myself. To pay over $110 per person here is questionable. Check in staff were friendly, cart staff were friendly, a bit unorganized, but friendly. Started by hitting a few practice putts, the practice green was horrendous. It was one of the worst greens I’ve seen. Then the greens on the course were not good either. They were better than the practice green, but still very bumpy. Lots of dead spots and sand.
The tee boxes were hairy and hadn’t been cut in a few days. The tee boxes were bad. Probably worse then the greens.
My fiancé is a very good player (plus cap), and wanted for fun to play the course at 7800. Tee boxes were extremely confusing to find. Hole 3 was a complete guess, but we managed to find it. A few other holes on the back were hard to find too.
Cart paths were very beat up and bumpy.
Bunkers were in poor shape from the rain the night before…and I understand some would looked washed away, but some were exposing the liner, and most of them were not raked by the people playing! First fairway bunker my partner hit it into, he was in a foot print. The next time he hit it into a bunker he was in another footprint. Then the last time he hit it into a bunker, another footprint! 3/3 in bunkers hit and in a footprint.
Fairways were ok. Layout is challenging, and fun.
I called in an order of food on hole 8. When I got to the lounge to pick up my food, no staff was there. 2 people were just standing there talking and doing shots of tequila/vodka! I had to go to the proshop and ask for help. The person apologized and helped me get my food.
I’m not usually critical of courses, but I would’ve expected this course to be much better with high rates. This course has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, it wasn’t up to a premium course that it’s advertised to be.
Many greens looked like the photo or worse. Most tee boxes were as bad as the photo.

Horrible greens especially for the cost they charged.
The layout is great which was a downer with those greens. Also we were not told at check in about the greens. I will tell everyone not to go to this place until they repair the greens. I should have taken Pictures. Holes and bouncy greens. Every green had issues. Almost half of the tee boxes were not cut. It was like hitting out of the rough. I usually don’t complain about courses. The folks we played with were shocked also. They have played this course multiple times prior. Boo!!!!
