Upgrades!!
This course is significantly improved! The fairways were very good. Some of the tee boxes were rough. The greens were VERY nice. Bunkers were quite packed down-even after they were raked.
Overall, very nice course that has been beautifully upgraded since the last owners.
Good conditions for the money
Better than average for the price. Not the greatest layout but a fun course. Must place shots wisely.

Worth The Drive!!
The Rock is about an hour drive north of Greenville and it is a beautiful course and was in excellent condition. The course got 2" of rain the previous afternoon so it was a bit wet but given all the rain the course was still in great shape.
As with the other reviews provided, the 8th hole with the waterfall is a "photo op" But there are a lot of beautiful holes on this course. The 8th hole is a par 3, elevated tee box and so you definitely want to club down one on this hole.
It is an interesting course with some doglegs, elevated greens on a few holes, elevated tee boxes on other holes. And there is a creek that you need to carry on a number of holes but the carry distances are fair. In other words, if you know your yardages with your clubs you can easily layup or go for it when you want to on various holes.
The staff was very nice and they did have a ranger on the course. The Ranger was a good guy and asked if we were happy with the pace of play. I appreciate a course with good rangers.
My only criticism is that some of the forward tees (Gold and Red) are not even so you had to "find a spot" that was a flat lie. Also, on the good side - expect on a few holes where the water had clearly damaged the tee box -- most of the forward tees had decent grass.
It is definitely worth the drive to play "The Rock.".
Gal, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing @TheRockGolfClub.

The Rock
Course is in fantastic shape. Played with a couple buddies from the whites. It would be nice if they modernized the carts to electric. Some of the carts are very long in the tooth. They use duct tape on the seating which is sketchy. But they get you around the course
Your feedback is important to us. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again on the course soon! Thanks for choosing @TheRockGolfClub.

Better hit em straight
Very Hot round. Humidity was also up. back 9 the heat was oppressive. Very typical mountain course. Many holes lined with trees that will easily gobble up wayward tee shots. Additionally many holes have are carved int the side of the mountain and have a significant elevation change. Most all of the par 3's it seemed.
Challenging course with beautiful scenery (see the waterfall next to hole 8)

Diappointed
Arrived 20 minutes prior to tee only to discover that my online golf now booking was not on the course tee sheet. According to the course staff they have had multiple issues with golfnow as of late. I tried to contact golfnow to work out this issue but there was no one to help, no way to get help....so I’m very disappointed with golfnow to say the least

Yes/No
The Course itself is in excellent shape! Unfortunately we( me and my wife) got stuck behind a large group outing. Four snd s half hours to play...which is understandable. The mowers and leaf blowers on every other hole though was a bit much! I do understand that to get the course to look as good as it does that is necessary but the constant noise coupled with the snails pace of play took away from an otherwise nice day!!

Great Round
The Rock is a beautiful course. It has many streams and creeks that add to the beauty. #8 has one of the prettiest views you will ever see playing golf. I really enjoyed this course.

Memorial Weekend 2020, group of 9. Fantastic time and great golf. The golf course is a fun track and quite challenging. Some unique holes with a great setting on #8 with the waterfall. The greens were fantastic and the course improvements are quite evident. Hiking, biking and golf, there's something for everyone. We got to spend some time with Tommy and Anthony to learn about the history and surrounding area as well as future plans for the course, club house etc. In addition to learning about The Rock they both took the time to show our group some extended hospitality which we were all very impressed by. Can't thank theses guys and their staff enough. Highly recommend!
Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round @TheRockGolfClub! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

A GREAT value
I play The Rock once or twice a week. Always have an enjoyable round. Love that if it is not too busy, the staff will allow you to tee off earlier than your tee time. Greens are looking really good.

We look forward to many good times ahead with you, and we will pass on your kind words to those responsible so they can continue to help others enjoy great experiences @TheRockGolfClub.

Exceptional foliage and arbor
The views were immaculate. I played terrible (shot a 68) but it was worth the trip for the aura. The exuberant, fruitful fairways flowed perfectly into the exquisite bent grass greens. Would recommend this course to golfers of all skill levels or just avid naturist looking for a day out.
