"Great course"
First time playing here --- very impressed with the greens as the Sunday Ultra-Dwarf Bermudagrass is as advertised! Very smooth and they roll true. A good variety of holes and good risk/reward shots as well. Hard to get into too much trouble here. Enjoyed it very...
Thanks for the update, Howard. I’m not sure I would give Emerald much credit over the Divide, though, especially on price. You can always get a decent rate at the Divide with their own players’ card, Click-it coupons, or their email specials. Emerald Lake has been lacking in the discount fee department for the last few years that I’ve seen. My experiences there have generally been hit and miss, as far as the conditions — with the exceptions of the greens, which are nearly always very good. So we’ll see. I haven’t played there in a while and have been meaning to give another try. I’ll look for an opportunity in the next month or so and post an update.

I had received another review last week on email and wanted to post here:
“Just wanted to report that I have just played Emerald Lake Golf Club yesterday [6/13]. The course is in FANTASTIC shape!!! The greens are perfect!! The rough is deep. The fairways are true. Rumor is of a complete bunker renovation also. I would HIGHLY suggest everyone come play this track. It truely is a gem!!” [Will]
Don’t quite know what to make of the disparate reviews…
I guess I don’t pay that much attention to pro shop guys taking my money or starters taking my greens fee slip, because I’ve never seen attitudes or behavior that would keep me from going back to play a nice course. Slow play, high prices, bad conditions — now those things will keep me away for sure.
By the way, I’m happy to forward on any feedback or comments anyone has for course managers or pros. I have contacts at several courses now and most of them want to hear feedback and criticisms. If you include your email address, I’ll let you know what I hear back in response.
I have an update regarding this review based on a conversation with the GM at Emerald Lake. While I’m going to leave it posted until I can confirm 100%, please consider it a “suspicious” review — meaning potentially bogus.
Stephen Boyles — if you are out there, please contact me directly to resolve.
