Back at Emerald Lake to use up a raincheck before it expired (and managed to dodge the storms so I didn’t get another one). Got what I expected. The bent grass greens are getting close to the edge with unfixed ball marks and bare dirt spots where old locations used to be. You’ve probably got another couple of weeks before the greens will be in trouble. Today they rolled well as long as you fixed any marks on your line. The rest of the course was in fine shape, no issues. Very pricey, as I’ve reported for years. Got there as a walkup about 2:40 and the rate was going to be $64. The pro shop suggested I go out at 3:10 when the rate would drop to $45 – so I appreciated that. Still, $45 after 3 on a Friday afternoon for Emerald Lake is… not a deal. I kinda had to use the raincheck or lose it, so… One other note, they have paved the parking lot where the old clubhouse used to be to the right of #18. So that’s a different visual now, not to mention dangerous O.B.(better have insurance ;-). Other than that, Emerald Lake is still a fun track to play and I have so much history here that I’ll be back when the time and price are right.
