ABOUT THE EMERALD GOLF CLUB

Our Commitment

A golfers paradise, legendary golf, designed by Rees Jones

"Golf is about how well you accept, respond to , and score with your misses, much more so than it is a game of your perfect shots."

                                                                                                                                                          Dr. Bob Rotella

Emerald Golf Club is dedicated to creating a vibrant golfing community. We offer a variety of services, including membership options, golf tournaments, and social events, all aimed at fostering a love for the game. Our experienced staff is here to ensure that all members have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience on the course. Joining Emerald Golf Club means becoming part of a tradition shaped by world-class design and unforgettable moments in golf history. Designed by renowned architect Rees Jones, the course offers a challenging yet rewarding experience that reflects his signature attention to playability and championship standards. Over the years, Emerald has been the stage for prestigious events, most notably the Curtis Strange Shrine Classic from 1990 to 2001, where legendary figures like Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, Fuzzy Zoeller, Justin Leonard, Nancy Lopez, Julie Inkster, and even Michael Jordan came together to raise funds for Shriners Hospitals for Children. The club has also proudly hosted elite competitions including the PGA Tour Qualifying School, Swing Thought Tour, the Women's Eastern Amateur, and the U.S. Senior Women's Amateur. Becoming a member means stepping into a legacy where the game’s greats have walked and where every round connects you to golf’s rich and inspiring history.
