Emerald Golf Club Tee Times

First time playing course. Booked online through course website that is linked to golfnow so it prepaid. Winter conditions on course which meant brown grass and dormant greens that were very fast! Received a reduced rate gree fee which made the conditions acceptable. Plan to return in warmer months!

Well, the course itself gets 5 stars even though I didn’t play my best today…shot a 101. I’m normally mid to high 80s. It was a little windy and chilly. Got stuck behind members who wouldn’t let me play through…that’s how they roll at their courses though. The tee boxes are very elevated and the further back the tee box, the higher. Some were over 6 feet tall and almost a 45° angle to walk up/down. Not good for folks with knee issues or anything of that nature. The 3 staff members I spoke to were nice. There’s some nice scenery on this course and will look even better when everything turns green again here soon. There’s rolling fairways that can sort of hide your ball from a distance, along with some mounds/hills on the sides of some of the fairways. The greens were somewhat receptive and the bunkers were nice, the 4 I escaped from. I enjoyed it and would have so even more if my game was on and the slower groups let faster folks play through. I did not and should not have to call the shop while out playing. It’s simple golf etiquette and it happens everywhere. Overall, I liked it. I’ll be back to play again. Make sure to check around for discounts because I played for $28 using Groupon. The driving range is nice because there aren’t mats to give false ball strikes.

My wife and I just moved to New Bern and found a great deal on Groupon for a round of 18 with a cart. The club house has a ton of merch to choose from, the grill was reasonably priced and the service was great! And although I blame my putting game on the rain from before, we had a wonderful time and the course is beautiful and well maintained.

A challenging but fun course. The greens where in top notch shape. The tee boxes where are great. The fairways were very good shape with very little dampness after a lot of rain. I can't wait to come back and play again.

Poor staff putting a group of 5 out first slowed play down to a crawl. Course layout is good but in need of maintenance.
