Emerald Greens Golf Club
About
The Golf Course at the Emerald Greens Golf Club is a nine-hole, par-3 course. Designed by Henry Hughes and opened in 1965, the course is affiliated with the retirement community Windsor Gardens, making it a semi-private. The course is suitable for all levels of golf, providing challenges that beginners can still handle while also serving as great practice for experienced golfers wanting to work on their short game. The greens are undulating and there are also bunkers. Emerald Greens Golf Club's fairways are wide open and water hazards come into play on over half of the course's holes. There is a heavy emphasis on shot accuracy since there are greenside sand bunkers.

Great short course
Emerald Greens is great for working on your short game. Longest hole is approx 197 yards. Some holes require mid-irons, most require wedges only. The course was in good condition for January and it is an easy, short course to walk. Some nicely placed hazards make this a little more challenging than most par-3 courses. My few constructive criticism points:
First, the young man running the pro shop was nice to me. However, during my round, some senior residents were walking their dogs along the paths on the course. There are numerous signs stating no dogs, but the employee came out of the office (with his own dog by the way) and berated the residents walking their dogs for about 5 minutes while I was waiting to tee off on the 9th. I felt it could have been handled better.
Second, the pace of play is a little slow. Lots of beginners at this course. It still went by quickly since it is a short course, but if you are in a rush or impatient, you may want to play/practice somewhere else. Finally, I could not figure out how to get in to the bar area. All the doors were locked and to get there from the pro shop required you to take off your golf shoes. I would have really enjoyed a beer during my round.
All of that said, its a great little course for short game practice and I will most certainly be taking my girlfriend there when I buy her a set of clubs this spring!
Terrible location!
The course itself is fine, but being situated literally within the campus of a senior living facility is terrible! It completely changes how you play for fear of hitting a poor shot into someone’s window — or worse, hitting a resident who’s aimlessly walking around just feet from the rough. Will never play hear again.
9-Hole Gem
This course is a hidden gem. First time playing it and I will most definitely will be playing it again. Great setup allowing you to use all of your irons if a long hitter.
Love the course, but don't like all the geese and the droppings all over the course. Need to clean up the geese population and the course would be perfect. The restaurant always has great staff, food and drink are great.
Nice hidden treasure
Worth checking out. Very short, easy course. Great place to take someone for the 1st time. Friendly staff and great value - very walkable, no cart needed. Only complaint is a couple holes/tee boxes leave you very vulnerable to other holes.
