Not my favourite course ever, but not the worst.Very hilly so if you dont have the legs you used to a buggy would be advised.
Nice mixture of holes.
I only played this course as I was staying in the area and to be fair if I was local again I would pay them a second visit.

Emerald Course
This is a longer course than the Sapphire and generally better maintained. Fairways were more forgiving, but you need to be able to hit some long shots. I don't agree with another reviewer that blind water hazards spoil the course - get a course guide and it's not a problem!However whilst the greens were better than the Sapphire, there were still some in need of attention to deal with bare patches and disease. They should be able to sort this out with the help of a competent agronomist.

Two very different courses in Shropshire
The Emerald course was a challenge because of the slopes and long par 4's and 5's. Course had lot's of narrow fairways so accuracy was the key, There were a number of strategically placed bunkers and trees with some small streams and big ponds to navigate over. We watched a lot of players put their balls in the drink more than once with a lake just before the 18th green over looking the 19th hole. Didn't enjoy the Sapphire course as much as there was a lot of par 3's and much narrower fairways with all the trees in full bloom. You had to be able to hit consistently straight off the tee to survive this one!If you want somewhere with two different courses that you can play and don't mind the sloping hills of Shropshire this could be the place for you.
