Emerald Lakes Golf Club

Emerald Lakes Golf Course is unique because of its floodlit grounds, which means that players don’t have to cut their games short because of the sunlight, and can keep playing until 10 at night. The course is not as long as some of the championship courses but is still quite challenging because of the surrounding water.

The club’s facilities add to the golfing experience with food and beverage offerings and gaming. The driving range is also well-lit, perfect for after-hours social golf or letting out pent-up aggression after a long, hard day at work!
