Course was in great shape. Played as a single and flew through the 18 holes. The bunkers were so well taken care of. Sadly, I was in them 5 times in my round and all 5 times the condition was perfect, well maintained. Too often courses seem to neglect the bunkers in my opinion. Not the case here. Greens were very soft and in great shape with one exception. The 2nd par 3 on the back nince was a little tore up. But you could see it was an exception and work was being done to fix it. I will be back, this course was great. I highly recommend it.

The green in question is #17, but #10 also has a problem with a bare spot that is top-dressed with sand. Overall, the greens are in below-average shape for Emerald Lake. Many have weed patches that can affect roll — even though they are still cutting the greens low enough to minimize the impact. They just aren’t in typical good shape right now. Also note that they are aerating the greens this week. Give Emerald a few weeks.

Played recently and was generally happy till we hit the back 9. Several – not just one or two – had issues with sprigs of weeds/other grass that were either not cut low enough or were too prevalent to be ignored. I hope the green punching takes care of these. Except for these green issues, the course was in excellent shape.
