Play Pokies at Emerald Lakes Golf Club in Carrara

Good course, great staff. Range balls leave a lot to be desired, but they'll do in a pinch.
Food is pretty good, nothing to write home about.
Free putting and chipping greens and they're well maintained.
All in all, great club.

I have been playing golf at Emerald Lake for over three years, and I often visit the driving range as well. However, I've recently noticed a decline in the condition of the golf balls. Many of the balls are cracked or damaged, and out of a large bucket, only about five are in decent condition. This is disappointing, especially given how much I enjoy practicing here. I hope the ball quality improves soon, as it really impacts the overall experience.

I counted 12 tiny pieces of beef in the Monday night curry special (dinner). Might be okay for a sparrow on a vegan diet but not for a hungry male human. I can't knock the flavor but the protein is threadbare.

We went to the Putt Putt Golf here for a hiking group meet-up for something different. The Putt Putt is quite old, but it's only $5 to play unlimited until they close! How good is that?!

We played one round as it was close to their closing time, and we headed into the dining/bar area for a drink and something to eat. Unfortunately, there were no vegan menu items, so I ordered the sweet potato Wedges (which were SO good!) and a glass of wine.
The meal and drink prices were very reasonable too.
The area was a bit outdated and old, but a magnificent view over the golf course and pond.
I would definitely go back again, we had a fun time

We were there yesterday for lunch. Our friends ordered fish and chips, steak and garlic prawns. They seem to enjoy theirs but not the garlic prawns which I ordered. The garlic prawns were cooked well but the rice is horrible. I only ate 1/4 of the rice. It's not cooked well as there some hard part on the rice. It's so easy to cook rice. Buy a rice cooker and it will always be perfect cooked rice. Although the garlic prawns were nice, turned off with the rice. We come here all the time and I won't be ordering meals with rice.
