Emerald Vale is proud to be one of the “Mane” attractions for the Horse Shows by the Bay festival this summer.  We hope you enjoy the festival, and take a break to come play at Emerald Vale.  We know you love your horse, but please join us at our course!!

We have entered the summer golf season.  The weather has been warm and golfers have been out enjoying the course.  If you have never played EV, you should find it to be one of Northern Michigan’s golfing treasures.  Every hole is different, there are rolling hills and elevation- a challenge, but lots of fun!  EV is also a good “on the way upnorth” course- break up your ride with a round of golf.

We have a great special on Tuesdays and Thursdays- $29 for 18 holes of golf (includes cart).

A clarification on our Senior Play Card- this card is a great deal, but please note that it can only be used by a golfer who is 60 or older and can only be used on weekdays. 

Emerald Vale has become a member of the Northern Michigan Golf Network!! If you are a part of our Membership (Stockholder or Associate), you can play at any of the 16 Northern Michigan courses for greatly reduced fees.  This should greatly enhance your membership and expand your summer golfing choices.  To access information about the courses, click on: www.chestnutvalleygolf.com/network/index.html.   If you have a membership with Emerald Vale, make sure that you have received your membership card as you will need it at our reciprocal courses.

Hole #1 Par 4 Handicap 12 Gold 395 Blue 390 White 357 Red 310

EMERALD VALE OPENS WITH A GENEROUS MEDIUM LENGTH DOGLEG RIGHT PAR 4. A GOOD DRIVE TO THE CENTER OR LEFT CENTER WILL LEAVE A MIDDLE IRON INTO A GENTLY UNDULATING GREEN GUARDED BY A BUNKER ON THE LEFT SIDE.POINTER: WASTE AREA TO RIGHT SIDE OF DRIVING AREA MUST BE AVOIDED. BIG HITTERS CAN CARRY THE WASTE AREA BUT “BEWARE”.

Hole #2 Par 5 Handicap 4 Gold 592 Blue 562 White 539 Red 420

THIS 3 SHOT PAR 5 BOASTS A LARGE LANDING AREA IF THE PLAYER STAYS SHORT OF THE FAIRWAY BUNKERS GUARDING THE FAIRWAY. A PROPER LAY UP TO THE RIGHT CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY ALLOWS THE PLAYER A GOOD CHANCE AT SELECTING THE PROPER CLUB NEEDED FOR THIS 4 CLUB DEEP GREEN. PAR IS A GOOD SCORE HERE.POINTER: STAY SHORT OF FAIRWAY BUNKERS ON TEE-SHOT. DON’T GET GREEDY. RIGHT SIDE OF GREEN IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PUTT. STAY LEFT. THE GREEN IS AS DEEP AS THE GRAND CANYON SO PICK THE RIGHT CLUB FOR YOUR APPROACH.

Hole #3 Par 4 Handicap 14 Gold 357 Blue 314 White 297 Red 285

A SHORT PAR 4 THE BEST TEE SHOT IS TO FAVOR THE LEFT CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY. A WASTE BUNKER GUARDS THE RIGHT SIDE. CLUB SELECTION IS AT A PREMIUM. THIS SMALL GREEN IS ONLY 11/2 CLUBS DEEP AND HAS TREES GUARDING THE LEFT SIDE AND A GREEN SIDE BUNKER WRAPPED AROUND THE RIGHT SIDE. THE GREEN IS NO PICNIC EITHER. SHORT DOES NOT MEAN EASY. POINTER: AVOID THE WOODPECKERS HOUSE IN THE WASTE AREA ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY ON YOUR TEE-SHOT. MISSING THIS GREEN WILL FOLLOW WITH A IMPOSSIBLE CHIP OR PITCH. HIT TO THE CENTER OF THE GREEN.

Hole #4 Par 4 Handicap 2 Gold 408 Blue 400 White 372 Red 339

THE HARDEST HOLE ON THE FRONT 9 THIS PAR 4 DOGLEG LEFT REQUIRES A TEE-SHOT TO THE RIGHT CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY. A LONG TEE-SHOT IS REQUIRED TO SEE THIS UNDULATING TWO TIER GREEN. POINTER: A TEE-SHOT TO THE LEFT SIDE WILL GREATLY HINDER ALL PLAYERS. “STAY RIGHT” THE AVERAGE PLAYER SHOULD HIT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN AND HOPE FOR A TWO PUTT. THE PLAYER WHO DOES SHOOT DIRECTLY AT THE PIN BEWARE OF THE BUNKERS GUARDING THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE GREEN AND BE CAREFUL TO PICK THE RIGHT CLUB, IT COULD VARY UP TO 3 CLUBS FROM FRONT TO BACK.
