Emerald Lake Golf Club

This course continues its decline since the clubhouse burnt down 3 or 4 yes ago. Played today and it is on terrible shape. I’ve see abandoned courses that look better. There are plenty of good courses in the area, play one of them.

I love to hate Emerald Lake. Too me its a little drab in boring as it one of the flattest courses around. Don’t ever pay rack rate as it just isn’t worth it. You can find many deals online and this and if it is fall/​winter/​spring are the only times to play. This is because the greens are bent grass and unlike other places they aren’t maintained as well. Also, a lot of people don’t fix their ballmarks here which just sucks. There are some memorable holes though. That being 4 where you hit an iron off the tee and having a chance at sticking one close over water. The other one is #14 par 5 where you driver over a lake and then have to hit your approac shot over the lake again into a semi peninsula green.

For the price, the greens were in pretty bad condition. Overall pet good course, but there are better near by it.

Saturday greens fee was $ 60. For that price I expected a better than average golf experience. This place is a trash heap. A scrubby little cow field that needs an infusion of money and attention badly. By the 3^rd hole we started considering marching back to the clubhouse and demanding a refund. I would assess the value of a round at $ 18. Fairways an utter mess. Greens were as if someone dumped kitty litter on them. I could go on but you get idea. A decent layout so there is opportunity but none of the little things that make you feel good are done here. Oh the surrounding community looks wealthy and pristine. Makes you wonder how they have let their course go to hell. So disappointing.

We recently played the Emerald Lake Golf Club out in Matthews, NC. While we had a great time, the course could certainly use some improvements. The driving range was extremely sandy, most of the greens were cut short but had weeds growing in them, and the clubhouse was a tight little trailer. The staff was extremely friendly and overall it was a great day of golf. The courses were well kept for the most part and some of the holes had excellent difficulty and style to them. There are more than average with water. Overall a good golf course with wonderful people.

My friend and I have walked this course a couple times. Nice
Course. Only 20 dollars to walk after 2. Best course for the price in the area.

Great place to play Golf. Great greens and fairways. Way to play is by using the website
. If you name your price you have the opportunity to play cheap.
