Description

Emerald Lake is known for its namesake water that influences strategy on several holes, most memorably the par-5 14th. Gary Wirth's routing offers wide fairways offset by greens that demand precise distance control. Bentgrass surfaces (a rarity in the Charlotte area today) provide smooth, quick rolls when dialed in. It's forgiving off the tee but tests approach play and short-game versatility. Convenient practice facilities encourage weekday twilight rounds and range sessions.

This is the worst golf course on planet earth!! Every single hole is covered in mud and the greens look like a bomb went off on them. Sand traps look like a waste land and about 80% of the bunkers are waist high in water and I lost about 3 balls because of that. You couldn’t pay me 1000 dollars to come back here again. To add insult to injury the average player here hasn’t touched a golf club in there life so the pace of play is about 30 minutes a hole. Never again!!

Braving a cold and damp day at Emerald Lake, I found the course resilient after recent heavy rainfall. Despite the lingering moisture and low temperatures inhibiting drying, the overall condition of the course stood out, especially considering the time of year. The bent greens, in particular, maintained their true roll, contributing to a satisfying round. The course's layout presented a delightful challenge without veering into excessive difficulty or length. Beyond the greens, the entire course showcased commendable upkeep, with minimal intrusion of weeds and debris. This attention to maintenance, coupled with the enjoyable design, left me feeling that I received good value for the price. Emerald Lake proved to be a resilient and enjoyable golfing experience even in less-than-ideal weather conditions.

If you’re looking for an insanely overpriced dog track with destroyed greens and the tee boxes to match, you found the perfect place! So many things wrong with this place, where do I start. Dead spots everywhere, on the greens, fairways, tee boxes. Carts are smaller than any golf cart I’ve ever been on. Can barely fit 2 bags on it. Just an annoying experience from start to finish. The best part is it’s $90 to play it, HA! The fact that this course charges more than $20 a round is highway robbery. If you’re a hack that doesn’t care if you play in a parking lot or a cow pasture, you won’t mind it. But if you want an even somewhat acceptable course with greens you can putt on, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY HERE!!

Unfortunately, course was extremely wet with standing water in places. Was told cart paths, ONLY, after I paid and was given the key to the golf cart. Greens were extremely fast and difficult to read. Got my steps in and my shoes dried in 24 hours

Course conditions have gone down hill. This isn’t a course I regularly play, but years before we always enjoyed this course. If your ball lands in the 2nd cut it is impossible to find. The fairways were in great condition, but the greens are the reason for the low score. They seem to have a fungal issue as they are borderline unplayable. For $60 on a Monday afternoon there are better courses for this price.
