Emily Greens: It’s all about fun on the golf course

When you come out to play a round of golf, your main goal is to have some fun while enjoying the great outdoors. At Emily Greens, they recognize this and do everything they can to set you up to have the best time possible. From the time you walk in the clubhouse to the time you drive out, their goal is to do all the little things so you can go home and feel good about what you experienced at the course.

Every person walking through the door is welcomed and treated as a valued customer. We have all had experiences where we did not feel welcomed or where you were made to feel like you were doing the business a favor by being there. Not at Emily Greens — the golfer is at the heart of their efforts. Out on the golf course, the course has always been maintained well. It is a beautiful northwoods course where you can still find your ball easily. If you happen to hit a bad shot and are looking for a ball, a maintenance staff member just might swing by to help you look if he or she is in the area. Who does that? It is all a part of their philosophy and focus on the players having a great time. Who likes to lose a ball? Nobody.

A part of having a great time on the course is the memories you make while playing golf. Emily Greens features the largest green in the state and the selfies taken as players are coming off the 17th green show up on Facebook all the time. The 11th hole is one of the prettiest Par 3s in the Brainerd lakes area. Great Places Minnesota included the 17th hole at Emily Greens as one of its “Great 18.” Family outings with three or even four generations on the first tee creates that Hallmark moment that becomes a part of a family’s legacy that will be relived at the family get togethers for years to come.

In 2018 and 2019, Emily Greens was voted the No. 1 course in the Best of the Brainerd Lakes contest sponsored by the Brainerd Dispatch. Many things factor into achieving this award. The fact it’s a fun and affordable golf course, combined with a customer-first approach goes a long way in coming out on top with the public.

Dan Loken, PGA pro, has been giving lessons at Emily Greens for 12 years and has great lesson packages that can help tune up and improve your game. A few better shots each round leads to lower scores which in turn leads to more fun on the golf course. A driving range and putting green rounds out the practice facility where you can work on every part of your game.

Emily Greens is a great course to come out and play with your spouse, the guys, the girls, the work group or the family. Whether you are a novice or a low handicapper, you will come away with your own memories and stories.
