Emmetsburg Country Club first opened for play in 1951. The course was designed by H.W. Glissmann and H.C. Glissmann.
Emmetsburg Country Club has a beautiful lake and many trees lining the somewhat wide-open fairways. The greens are undulating and challenging to read. The course plays to a maximum 9-hole distance of 2,695 yards and plays to a par of 35.
