Southern California has some of the most undeniably beautiful golf courses in the country, and Emerald Isle Golf is no different. This course has challenged local golfers since opening in 1986, and keeps them coming back with beautiful scenery and two natural lakes. Emerald Isle features ever-changing elevations and similarly changing winds with its proximity to the Pacific. Its 18 holes have a 56 par over 2,452 yards. The pro shop rents out clubs, golf carts and pull-carts -- and, since this is a public course, all are welcome.
