(TAMPA, FL) – Emerald Greens Golf Resort and Country Club – managed by Billy Casper Golf – will host an open-house “Member for a Day” weekend for the local community on Saturday, November 19 and Sunday, November 20.
During the weekend, the private club will host prospective members to enjoy its comprehensive amenities. On Saturday, November 19, activities include tours of the club, complimentary casual lunch at The Terrace Bar and Grille, an 18-hole shotgun golf outing at 1 p.m. ($25 cart fee per golfer), a tennis social at 3:30 p.m. and cocktail reception with live entertainment from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
Sunday visitors will partake in gratis use of the Oasis Swimming Pool and Fitness Center, club tours beginning at 11 a.m. and an Grand Emerald Sunday Brunch from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. ($14.95 per person).
“Emerald Greens is an amazing club experience for the entire family,” says Amy Spencer, Director of Membership and Marketing at Emerald Greens. “We welcome the local community with open arms and look forward to showcasing our first-class amenities.”
Recognized as one of the most welcoming communities on Florida’s Gulf Coast, Emerald Greens has an impressive collection of condominiums, townhomes and vacation villas. 27 holes of championship golf, and other recreational and social amenities, meet with rave reviews from members and resort guests.
Emerald Greens is home to three, distinct nine-hole layouts – Meadow, Cypress and Pine – providing challenges to golfers of all abilities. The peaceful, Dan Maples-design rolls through pine and cypress trees with large, undulating greens, numerous water hazards and an assortment of pot and waste bunkers. Length off the tee is not vital, but each hole places a premium on strategy and accuracy.
The Meadow course boasts the signature par-3, a 158-yard forced carry over water and a bunker to a rolling green for a nerve-wracking tee shot and putt. On the Cypress nine, the 450-yard, par-4 No. 4 hole is a tough test with water left of the fairway and right of the narrow, elevated green. The finishing hole on the Pine course is a 490-yard, par-5 with golfers hitting their approach shots onto a dramatic island green.
An expansive golf practice facility with a double-side driving range and two putting and chipping greens compliment PGA instruction.
Non-golf amenities feature eight lighted tennis courts, heated outdoor swimming pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, day spa, three casual and formal dining options and event space.
The 25,000 square-foot clubhouse includes a fully-stocked pro shop, bag storage, locker rooms and The Terrace Bar and Grille. Elegant banquet facilities make Emerald Greens the perfect setting for corporate outings, weddings and other social engagements.
