In Volume 3 of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Tom Doak published that.

“Set on the Oak Ridge Moraine, Emerald Hills now has 27 holes but Masa (Nishijima) only saw the original 18, cut out of hardwoods. Pine trees planted to separate holes in the open areas have grown to isolate them from one another and crowd the golf. It features sprawling white bunkers and sharp elevation changes.”

The Emerald Hills Golf & Country Club received a score of 5 out of 10 from one of Tom Doak’s co-authors.
