What recent reviews say

Emerald Lake draws regular play for its layout and tavern atmosphere, with strong praise for course maintenance and event hosting. A notable complaint centers on $90 greens fees paired with temporary setup changes (par 3s off mats, water holes moved up) that were not communicated upfront, combined with slow rounds and weak staff response to disputes.

Charles T Myers Golf Course

3.8(222)✓ Google-verified

Charles T Myers is a budget-friendly municipal course with friendly staff and improving maintenance, but rounds can drag on and course condition remains uneven hole to hole. Recent visitors praise its value and instructors like Coach Austin, though slow play and patchy fairway work frustrate others.
