5.1 Competitive Edge

Emerald Driving Range believes its competitive edge lies with two main differentiators.

1. We do not have to deal with the day-to-day operations of running a golf course, so we can give more attention to our customers, as well as give more focus to the facility itself.
2. Our facility is set up to accommodate more golfers at a time than most of our competitors. Our customer service will be top notch and we will have a good variety of beverages and snack foods for customers.
