2025 Emerald Greens Men’s Club - League Information:
There are two Men’s Club leagues, a 9-Hole league (Wednesdays) and an 18-Hole league (Thursdays). Each league is made up of teams of 2 or more players. If your team has more than 2 players, only 2 of the team members would play in any given week. For example, you may have a 3-man team but one of the team members would sit out each week. A team of more than 2 members offers flexibility if a team member is on vacation, out of town, sick or injured, etc. For a 3-man team, the team cost would be split 3 ways instead of 2, which lowers each team member’s cost. Both Leagues off weekly “proxies,” playoffs and a prize-pools for end-of-the-year payouts. Both leagues are entirely supported by their respective league fees which are separate from Emerald Greens Men’s Club membership dues.
The 9-Hole League begins Wednesday, April 23rd and continues for 18 weeks. The 9- Hole League consists of 3 divisions – up to 16 Two-Man teams per division. The league format is handicapped USGA TEAM Better Ball / Match Play each week. Scoring takes handicaps into account to determine the winner of each individual match. Playoff format will be released after final numbers of team and divisions. Total TEAM cost for the 9-Hole League is $933.00
The 18-Hole League begins Thursday, April 24th and continues for 18 weeks. The 18- Hole League consists of a maximum of 20 two-man teams. As in the 9-hole league, a team may consist of more than two members, but only 2 play each week. The league format is handicapped USGA Better Ball / Match Play each week. Total TEAM cost for the 18-Hole League is $1,576.00.
Each participant must complete a league application and be accepted into the Emerald Greens Men’s Club for 2025.

league. Placement will be on a first-come, first-served basis with returning teams given priority. An effort will be made to place everyone in the league.
