SoCal course allows golfers
​to play a round with their dog

     Usually when you hear a course has been going to the dogs, it’s not a good sign. But that’s not the case at Emerald Isle Golf Course.
​     The Escondido track features an 18-hole, 2,452-yard, par-56 layout that is player – and dog – friendly as golfers are allowed to bring their pets along for their round.
     There are some rules, of course, although there is no additional fee for fido.
    The main requirements are that dogs maintain good behavior, are kept on a leash, and that their owners pick up after them, a responsibility on par with say replacing your divot or fixing a ball mark on the green.
     As for course conditions at Emerald Isle, they are anything but rough. Over the last five years, improvements have been made to the golf course, clubhouse and, most recently, the driving range.
    So if you want to play your next round with your dog and best friend, book a tee time at Emerald Isle Golf Course. There are plenty of treats on hand for after your round.
