Emerald Links

[cadcam]

Hi all,

Has anyone ever played Emerald Links?

I wondering about stuff like course condition, difficulty, etc.

Thanks

Course conditions are excellent (played the south nine last week). Everything is green, lush, etc. It's not overly long, but can be tightish with small difficult greens. It's a shotmakers course and genererally pretty challenging. There are 3 nines, East, West South. The east is the tightest of the 3. Overall, for the price, a good course.

Dont forget bug repellant if going at twilight.

Most of the greens are protected by deep bunkers, too.

One of my favourite courses in the area. In a word, nice!

Played the new 9 and it was stunning. The course was in great shape as always and worth the money.

Played there with my father-in-law a couple of weeks back for the first time. We really enjoyed it although I didn't hit my first fairway til the 10th hole. Very lush and well kept, can't wait to play again.

Best course in the $40-$50 range in Ottawa.

Fairways in very good shape, greens are always great and usually a good speed (never too slow)

27 holes offering good variety

It is a real shotmakers course. If you can hit it straight to around the 230-245 mark, you will do just fine. Par 5's are reachable for hitters in the 270+ range.
