Emerald Mountain taking precautions, providing escape

Many Americans have found themselves with more time on their hands, especially on weekdays. With some golf courses in the region closing down, the Emerald Mountain Golf Club in Wetumpka has seen a rise in numbers, giving people a rare taste of sports while much of the world has shut down.

“We’re busier, not necessarily on the weekend but you can when we have had some nicer weather,” Emerald Mountain general manager Erich Flynn said. “It shows up during the week when we have had some steady numbers. With people at home and trying to get out to not go stir crazy, this seems like a good opportunity for them. “
