Emerald Links Golf & Country Club

In pretty good shape.

Emerald is in great shape and they have deals on specific days.

I think this course has been better. I'd say average these days. More bang for buck elsewhere. But I do like the East 9. Some tough holes that are fun to play.

East course in good condition for mid May.

Overall green fees are expensive including the food, really nothing to boast about.

Young staff members are very nice and try to help but unfortunately I cannot write the same about the 'head pro'. He has very poor customer relations and gives the impression that he does not like his job. With the state of the declining golf market in Ottawa, some old courses have recently closed their doors and prestigious private courses have had to advertise and reach out to draw new clients by lowering their fees in order to stay alive. The Emerald Links GC owner(s) should realize how important it is to have their head golf professional act in a manner that will attract people to their facility and the game of golf in general especially during these times.

I've been very fortunate to golf at Emerald Links many times over the summer. It is an excellent course, well maintained and in outstanding condition! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They space their tee times properly and don't overbook like other golf courses so your never waiting very long to tee off. If you get a chance, book a lesson with CPGA and Director of Golf, Chris Bernard. He is very knowledgeable, patient and a phenomenal instructor. He has helped me immensely with my game and restored my confidence and passion for the sport.

I highly recommend Emerald Links to all my friends and colleagues!
