The layout of the course is interesting, challenging and features perfectly manicured lush, rolling fairways. You'll be glad you experienced this excellent combination of hole designs and truly great golf. Water comes into play on 10 holes.

Horrible greens

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!!!!

First timer….

Fiirdt time playing this course and I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. How I didn’t know or hear of this course in the past beats me.. The layout of the course is fantastic… definitely a players course. Very long and narrow . Quite a challenge. To the northerners, don’t use this course as an opener. You wanna be warmed up.
A few of the tee boxes were over grown and could stand to be mowed. A couple of the greens had bare patches but didn’t affect playability. Very friendly staff , and nice bar . Special shout out to Travis at the pro shop. Cool dude, we bought a lot of merch. 👊🏽

NOT worth the money

The course condition was way out of line with the price paid for a round. Expected much more. The Tees had long grass, fairways had issues and soe of the greens were also not acceptable. They knew that they had issues and should be offering players a break in price while they correct the problems. Shame on you Emerald Hill

AVOID

I’ve been playing golf for 25 years. Never in my life have I seen the tee boxes have 5 inch grass like I was in the rough at bethpage. The tee box!!! I You may think I’m joking, haha it couldn’t be that bad, no it was worse than you’re imagining. I had to tee up from any patch of grass I could find, which was usually in the actual rough between the tee markers. Absolutely absurd for a course costing 150. I wouldnt pay 5$ to play this place again. Stay away. The layout of the course is nice but whoever runs this place should be ashamed

Poorly maintained

Tee boxes not even mowed, course feels run down in general. We came from out of town so also had to rent clubs. Close to $400 total for the two of us at what felt like a marginal course felt over the top

Overprices

Tee boxes and greens in very poor condition. Not worth the price they are charging for these green fees.

Greens keeper blues

I have played this course plenty of times,last season and prior years the course was maintained really well and the greens were almost at tour levels,I was basically in shock when I putted on the first green and for the rest of the round,patchy,thin,and super slow,a course employee said the old greens keeper left,who knows but they are charging very high rates $160 and up, I guess because it’s close to the Hard Rock Casino,but to be totally fair,the conditions now,it’s a $55-60 golf course

Hidden Gem

Never played here before - was a great surprise. Course layout is unique and tricky. Greens were in great shape. Only waited on 2 or 3 holes.

Buena cancha pero no estaba en buenas condiciones

Una cancha muy linda pero no estaba bien mantenida.
Los tees de salida eran rough directamente. No estaban ni puestas las bochas de salida.
Los greenes mal estado.
Recomendada pero averiguar el estado de la cancha
