The Emerald Golf Club

If you’re in the mood for a truly top-tier round of golf, The Emerald Golf Club in New Bern is a must-play. Designed by the legendary Rees Jones, this 18-hole, par-72 championship course stretches over 6,924 yards and has a nice mix of rolling fairways, water hazards, and well-placed bunkers. It’s a great course for all skill levels, but definitely a challenge if you’re trying to score low.
The drive from Emerald Isle is about an hour, but it’s worth it if you’re looking for a course with a solid reputation and some truly pristine conditions. The practice facilities are also excellent, with a driving range, chipping green, and a massive 11,000-square-foot putting green.
