Emerald Springs golf course first opened in 1966. The course was renovated in 2007.
Nestled in the sandy hills of East El Paso, Emerald Springs has a rich heritage. 60 feet Oak trees and tall Willows testify to this heritage. Emerald Springs was host to one of the most talked about matches in West Texas when a young and undiscovered caddy named Lee Trevino upset the formidable PGA Tour professional Raymond Floyd and boarded a run-away train to stardom.
