Played this course for the first time based on the positive reviews I have seen. The course was in okay shape, but the greens are still healing from being punched and about half of them were completely covered in sand. Not exactly what I was expecting based on reviews. It was also frustrating to be sent out as a single behind a 5-some, especially during the morning when it’s more crowded. The people I was supposed to pair with went off more than 20 minutes early. I was waiting at the 1st tee before the 5-some ever went off, but the starter sent them off anyways ahead of me. Waiting on every shot isn’t fun. A few times even let them get a hole ahead since no one was behind me and caught them right back at the next tee. Was just expecting better.

If you come as a single on a weekend you’re going to wait.

casey1414: waiting as a single when you have a full course of foursomes is one thing. Being forced to wait to tee off and play behind a 5-some is another — and not one I would expect from a course like Emerald Lake. I’ll send the manager a note and try to get the scoop.

Thanks B-man! Keep in mind Casey that it was Friday morning, not a weekend and I was paired with a twosome that was allowed to tee off more than 20 minutes early without any attempt to let me know that was the case. I was there and paid by then, could have easily been found at the range which is beside the 1st tee.
