This course is in its normal condition with the exception of the greens. I would have to say the greens are as bad as I’ve ever seen them at Emerald Lake. I don’t mean to scare anybody, they are still in ok shape to play on, it’s just that they have always been in pretty good shape. There is still a thin layer of sand on the greens. Some of the greens have dead spots all over them a little bigger than your golf, where they sprayed to kill a weed or something. They also had a good bit of ball scars. Sand traps were in great shape.

I played here on Saturday and agree for the most part. The greens have some issues – but knowing the conditions of many courses around town, they are okay by comparison. For the most part, the sand-filled spots and weeds on some of the greens did not affect putting. The 16th green was the worst of them. Overall, course is still in good shape. Also, I can confirm that Justin Morin came over from The Divide as the new GM. I spoke to him Saturday and he’s excited to be back at Emerald Lake. I hope to see him bring back memberships. I’ll update the site when I hear.
