Karl — actually, I have indeed given other course GM’s the opportunity to respond to negative feedback here on the site — the most recent example was Birkdale, but before that I’ve done the same for Charlotte Golf Links and Rocky River, to name a few. And I will always give course staff the opportunity to respond here on the site if they contact me.

If you read one of my recent reviews of EL, I actually said I would not post a review every time I play (since it would be frequently). Most likely I’ll only post a new one if conditions change. So watch for my next update because it likely means something’s going on (perhaps when they aerate).

As I said before, please post your own reviews of Emerald Lake and other local courses. This site is built on player feedback and opinions. If I post a review that you don’t agree with, post a comment. If you think my coverage of Emerald Lake is biased or not accurate, then don’t take my word for it.

Let me know if you have a suggestion for how I should handle Emerald Lake reviews and feedback. I couldn’t tell from your post what you were expecting me to do differently. And if you want to handle it off the board, feel free to send me a direct email.
