The gold course is a fun track...

The gold course is a shorter, more relaxing round of golf than the silver course.
The greens are typical "emerald greens" fast, so mind your touch with the putter.
There are birdies to be had if you're on your game.
I do however prefer the days of the par 5 10th being the first hole. That sharp dogleg makes for a slow 1st hole for many golfers, imo.
Give the gold course a try, I think you'll like it.

Meh

The course was not in great condition at all. Had to wait to get a cart as all of them were in use and missed our tee time. Seems like they overbooked as well as pace of play was slow.

Great course with plenty of challenges

We played this and was very impressed with the layout and overall experience. Pace of play was alright, busier days you should make sure you’re not rushed; but overall a good experience. Driving range was good as well, pretty good value for a bucket. Will more than likely play this again with how some of the holes have the challenge of where to put the ball.

Fair test

Good greens, decent layout. Not too demanding but you have to hit good shots to score. Helps to play more than once as there are some odd angles and some sloped greens.

Basic municipal feel of a course

My first round of the season! Emerald is a very plain Jane kind of a course. Course conditions were average for the time of year. Greens were a little slow but very consistent. Par 3 tee boxes are under construction currently.

Not a bad little track! I paid 24 with one of my $10 off codes so 24 for walking didn’t seem bad. I wouldn’t pay more than $30.

Not worth the money

~$60 to ride 18, the photos are very deceiving. The greens looked and played like the remains of Normandy, the carts ran about as good as a model T and the play was as slow as molasses in the dead of winter. We will not be returning and won’t get that 5.5 hour round back.

Decent enough course

The course was conveniently located for each of us. We would play there again. It is early after the virus closing so giv9ng the staff some leeway for not being the friendliest.

Great track for different levels of play.

This course was a fair test for my skill level which is deteriorating as I age but was also a great test for my Son who is coming into his golfing prime. Last time I played the course it was a long painful round. This time was 4 hours and we were following a group and had a group behind us so the pace of play has greatly improved.

Great option for all skill levels.

Multiple tees to accommodate all of our varying handicaps. A 4 hour round on a Friday was a bonus. Get the greens a little faster and this would be ideal.
