1Emerald Hills begins with a friendly Par 5. A slight dogleg right, #1 allows any caliber player a way to warm-up your round with a Driver off the teePerhaps the biggest challenge hole #1 provides are the sand bunkers loosely guarding the green on both sides. The trees lining both sides of the fairway prepare you for 18 holes of#1 is a teaser for the rest of the round as it is fairly flat, tilting only slightly from back to front and left to right.2A fairly harmless looking Par 4 from the tee, seldom do you get a level lie from your 2nd shotThe green, which again lies pretty flat, is a narrow target on the approach.3Length is not a huge factor on this Par 3. Your tee shot travels parallel to the left water hazard and on to the front of the green.Once on the green, you are challenged by a severe “uphill” putting surface. Being long of the pin facing a downhill put is your worst scenario4Emerald’s first true dogleg, a hard long ball can go through the fairway into the left trees, but the average player needs to get to the corner so they can let it all out on the The depression in front of the green can give the impression that the green is closer than it really is.Don’t get careless right as a small pond lurks at about 100 yards from the green in the trees.5Easy so far? #5 is a LONG, hard dogleg left to an uphill, elevated two-tiered green. #1 Handicap hole for good reason. Oh yes, it is out of bounds left all the way. Get after it!Easy so far? #5 is a LONG, hard dogleg left to an uphill, elevated two-tiered green. #1 Handicap hole for good reason. Oh yes, it is out of bounds left all the way. Get after it!6A “cure” Par 3 over the pond, the island, and the sand.What you see is what you get. Don’t be above the pin when the pin is front left,yet you need to carry the bunkers. Always a challenge to get your 37A tough dogleg right. When the new development went in a few years ago, a new street created an out of bounds left and log.The big hitters can’t hit the big dog or it goes through the dogleg and can easily go out of boundslay it safe down the middle, then an uphill middle iron to an elevated green. A good hole, a par feels like a birdie some days.8A difficult slight dogleg left Par 4. The corner of the dogleg can be cut for the long hitters, but be careful because an out of bounds guards the far left.The average golfer just needs to hit the middle leaving a long shot, generally a long iron, hybrid or fairway wood.green is one of the flatter greens on the course allowing you an easier chip and putt opportunity than on some of the earlier greens for a chance to save a par if you missed the gr9A finishing hole on the front nine if you have a good nine hole match going.Water at the 270 yard mark from the back tees, so with a long ball with a prevailing south wind, one has to be careful.The green is guarded on the right by the “donut hole” sand bunker and another large bunker on the left.10The back nine starts with a short, but precise, Par 4. A dogleg left requires a well positioned target drive aimed at the 100 yard marker at the far side of the dogleg.Trying to cut the corner left gets your 2nd shot blocked by the over-sized maples at the corner of the leg.A modestly sloped green is protected by traps left and right.1112A modest length Par 3 with a heart shaped flat green. Make sure you hit the right length shot as the green is guarded on all four corners by giant grass bunkersA modest length Par 3 with a heart shaped flat green. Make sure you hit the right length shot as the green is guarded on all four corners by giant grass bunkers13A fun, very slight dogleg right Par 5. Most of the trouble lies right with out of bounds protecting homes the entire length of the hole. Your approach is mostly uphill with a blindThe green is guarded both left and right by sand with the green sloped modestly from back to front.Long ball hitters – try to make your birdie or eagle here!14Though it looks impossible from the tee, this short Par 3 nets more hole-in-one’s than any other Par 3 on the course.Trees protect this hole both left and right. A trap also guards the front left of the greenJust take aim at the gap, hit the green and let the ball roll from left to right.15Good Par 4, “Through the shoot” off the tee down into the valley in front of the green.Your second shot is to an elevated green. Once on the green, there is a severe slope from left to right and from back to front.16The smart play is up the middle off the tee.If the long ball hitter gets greedy in thinking about staying left to get home in two, the out of bounds can get you.Hit the second shot to the corner and then wedge in your third shot to an uphill green.17A cute, short dogleg right Par 4.Looks short and easy, but beware of a very tight out of bounds protecting the house on the right side.Don’t get sloppy left either because of the pond and water hazard long.18Big trees, grass bunkers, and a long sand bunker protect the right side from cutting off yards.Once to the green, there are few easy pin placements.Good luck and thanks for playing one of the best layouts in the area, but we’re biased
