nice course

Had an hour plus frost delay - but then it was only 20+ degrees out - course was in great shape for dead of winter - fairways and vreens were clean (and frozen) only complaint was lack of fun is slyness of the staff - they made us feel like we were bothering them by booking such an early tee time - we drove 2 hours to be there and it was definetly worth it

The staff needs a lesson in etiquitte

Played here Monday morning - beautiful day for golf - checked in with pro shop - paid 60+ dollars and set up cart at first tee. Then it was all down hill - the guy from the pro shop comes out and tells us that it's cart path only. I get the reason for path only - the course was soaked in many places - then don't charge us full boat - I asked why he didn't tell us that before we checked in and he replied "oh, sorry, I forgot" - there was a guy in front of us on all front nine greens changing the pin locations - so we waited each hole - when we did hit up he would move the pin to another location making our putts go from manageable to ridiculous. With no one behind us you would think he would let us play thru. Then there was the maintenance guys with the huge blowers - they wouldn't stop to let players thru - running blowers full throttle near tees and greens - they just didn't care - you would never see that on a respectable course - I'm so disappointed with this experience - it will take a lot to get me back to this course

Cart 54 where arrrrrre you?

Played here on Saturday the 18th of October - had a 115pm tee time - place was packed - got out on time and pace of play was OK for the first three holes. Saw a ranger at the 4th hole - everything going good - then it happened... Waiting, waiting, waiting.... The 4some two groups ahead of us disappeared but the group directly in front of us started playing like they were on tour and I don't mean they were hitting the ball well... They would stand over balls in the fairway forever and on the green...it was painful. There was no way of keeping any kind of pace and guess what? NO RANGERS!!!!!!!!! Not a one! These guys got slower and slower and the sun was setting minute by minute. Our final putts were made in the dark. Got back to the cart return and asked where the rangers were and he replied "they get off at 5" - I guess they decided to call it quits earlier than that. The gentleman at the cart return said there was more than a half an hour between the group in front of us and the group in front of them. Generally, the course is very nice - we drove 2 1/2 hours from Bergen County NJ to play. It was a long drive home although the discussion on how to get the word spread about this debacle helped pass the time. PS. The nice GPS units in the cart... DIDN'T work. Starter said a lot of them dont. If you're a fan of the PGA slogan "while we're young" ... Don't play here

spectacular views

If you want a course with a view... This is the place for you. You will not believe the elevated tee boxes ( especially from the tips - even if u don't.. Walk up to take a look ). Course conditions are much better since the town decided to put some money into it. Its a tough course if you are not a straight hitter - some tight fairways and if you send it into the trees...consider it a donation. The first time we played there my playing partner lost 13 balls. There usually isn't any rangers to be found and if you get a slow group in front of you...pack a lunch. That being said, I keep going back when I'm in the area and so should you

home course

Emerson is a convenient course for me - close to home. Prices range from 40's to the 80's. Yesterday they started aerating the tee boxes while we were playing - not real convenient but they were nice about it. Overall, the course is generally in good condition - fairways always nice - edges a little dry and hardpan - greens in nice shape - putt true. I will keep going back as long as they don't get crazy with the rates. Staff is friendly and accommodating (Steve will usually find a way to work things out for you).

surprised

Course was a little wet - cartpath only - it played well - not terribly long but presented some interesting challenges - the one thing I didn't like was booking through golf now for 51 bucks only to find when I printed out the confirmation that it was the walking price - had to pay another 15 bucks for cart - not cool

worth the trip

No food or coffee in the restaurant during the winter - course in good condition for as cold as it was - a lot of frost the day we played but didnt mind the delay even tho we travelled 2 1/2 hours to get there - overall... it was worth the trip

pleasant course to play

We had an early tee time - sprinklers still on - it was a slight challenge to stay dry - greens were in good condition - fast play - ended up playing 27 holes - pro shop guys were extremely friendly - upset they didn't have logo balls
