Emerald Links Golf & Country Club

Course is in excellent shape! I'm looking forward to playing more this season. Thanks for the hospitality.

2 stars is accurate.Pros: Course is in good shape, fairways are nice, greens are pretty decent and overall layout is fairly solid.Cons: Massively overpriced at $69 after tax to walk this course. The tee boxes here are the worst in the city and that is saying A LOT. I genuinely mean that, these tee boxes are the worst I've seen for any quality/cost of any course in Ottawa currently. For $69 to walk the fact that there isn't 1 flat tee box with grass to hit from from the whites is brutal and they deserve flak for this. This alone has stopped me from coming back. They also offer no twilight discounts and charge $45 after tax for 9 holes.Overall very overpriced, I could accept it with better tee boxes but without 2 for 1 green fees or 25% vouchers it really isn't worth it. I've played here a couple times this year and they aren't even attempting to fix the tee boxes. Hard sell to play here now.

Go somewhere else not worth the price. Bunkers are as hard as concrete and you'll be lucky to find a nice patch of grass on the tee boxes. Use to be very nice but not up to par this year. Staff is rude also

I have frequented Emerald Golf Course on numerous occasions over the past five years and have always appreciated the exceptional quality of the course. As a consistent golfer, I have found great pleasure in playing there. However, during my recent visit, I was disheartened to discover that the fairway was in a state of disarray and the tee boxes did not meet their usual standards. Although this was disappointing, I tried to maintain a positive outlook as it was a holiday outing.Unfortunately, an incident occurred at the end of our 18 holes that compounded my disappointment and left me utterly embarrassed. While we were patiently waiting for our friends to finish their round, a woman who we had encountered earlier in the day at the tee box approached me and requested to talk." Initially

I usually play here half a dozen times a year but not anymore. I forgot to cancel a tee time and they charged my card for the foursome. Most courses send out a reminder in advance but I understand, however why start this process with out even a warning. I am not a repeat offender for this type of behaviour.I will bet for all of the times I have played there and the course was in poor condition, overloaded with golfers or they are punching greens and fairways that they would not accept a charge back from a patron. The green fee is too much for the conditions that it usually in, the amenities are poor and dilapidated. They have a temp tee box on #1 for the east that wrecks the playing experience for the hole. Buyer beware for the same treatment at their other 2 courses. I reached out to talk to someone and received a polite response that my concerns were being passed on to the director but have received radio silence. Disappointment for sure , and the Patterson conglomerate will not miss my 5-6 rounds a year but I will not be back, there is a lot of other places that charge a fair price for the golf experience . I will give it 2 stars because most of the staff have been pleasant to deal with over the years.

I thought the course was fun and challenging. Their pin placements were tough but the greens held well. I think some of their tee boxes were a little rough on some hole but besides that it’s worth playing. I will surely return to try the west side next

I played 18 holes here on Wednesday and it cost me $99 (with cart) inlcuding a small bucket of range balls. First off I couldn't believe the price at this time of year. When I got to the range it was a giant dirt pile, there was not a single piece of grass you could hit off of, complete waist of money for the range (which I cant believe you have to pay for at a $90 price tag in spring). What I was very surprised about is that the rest of the course was exactly the same. There was not 1 tee block that had even ground and it was a fight to find a blade of grass there as well. Every pin placement was also on a slope as well as some greens with complete dead spot sections. I would expect so much more from this course especially with the price tag equal to some private courses I play at. Last year at the end of the year I paid an absurd amount to play in the Fall as well and every single green was aerated without any prior notice given. I will not go back to this course thats for sure and I would advise everyone else to save your money and go elsewhere for cheaper and WAY BETTER conditions.

Playing here for over 3 years, and would live to see some upgrades done: bunker rakes look like ones from original opens, most of the broken, with mist tines and wood handles wasting away; a couple of bridges sag from age, never crossed more than one at a time; often don't play bunkers as they are packed, never fluffed; could use some sand bottles for players to carry on their round to fill in divots on fairways and tee box. Other than those comments the course is challenging and enjoyable, the fairways are well graded, little standing water, and upgrades to some tee boxes are well delivered. Recommend for sure.

To be charging over $90 for 18 holes with cart for this course in its current condition is beyond absurd. This used to be such a well maintained course. Played 18 this past weekend... the greens are aerated and not filled....so your ball bounces all over the place... and the tee boxes are absolute garbage. Not one is level and covered with grass. I've played better tee boxes at a driving range. Always looked forward to playing a few rounds here every year, but definitely won't be back until the quality of the course improves... especially at the ridiculous prices.

The east 9 was so tight the only club I could hit with out losing a ball was my putter, west 9 was extremely reasonable but I didn’t break 90 so still too tight.Great staff though and course in good shape
