I want to tell the golfers of the Rock River Valley what a fantastic asset we now have in Emerald Hill Golf Course.

Back in the early 1990s, I started in the golf business working for Bob and Bonnie Collins at Emerald Hill when it was privately owned. We always knew the course was a diamond in the rough and had the potential to become the true gem it is today.

In this tough economy, when many courses are going under, the Sterling Park District and Emerald Hill staff have made tough decisions and commitments to make Emerald Hill one of the best public courses in the area.
