Greens and fairways in good shape. Interesting layout. Lots of non driveable par 4s making you think around the Course. Had a tournament today that was not efficient. Started on back 9 then went to 7,8,9 and then had about 45 minute wait on first tee. Staff is friendly.

A nice return

My first time in several years. New owners have made positive changes. Course has a nice mountain setting with clear water running thru and clean air. Lots of short shots off the tee, so thinking your way. Greens rolling very good. Putts seemed very simple. Call it a fun course. Only down side was slow groups on the back, and who ever picked my ball retriever didn't return it. Can't believe someone would just decide to take it home with them!

Great place

Tough course. Don't expect to use your driver to much. #8 is a TV hole! It's beautiful!
Will be back for more!

Nice golf course, in great shape.

The Rock is.a great little course. It was fairly busy for a Thursday morning but the pace not not too slow. The greens were a little slower than I prefer but were in great condition.

Back to the Rock

Since I last played this course it has been taken over by a different management group and all the changes they have made are good. The course and facilities were in great shape and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Keep up the good work

I enjoyed the course. Waterfall on #8 is beautiful. Everyone is very friendly. Par 5’s are getable. Don’t need a Driver off several tees. Need to place your ball and think your way around. Even though several holes are not that long - be aware of where the creek roams around the course. I will be back for sure.

The Rock

Greens were perfect. Was not happy that they made us start on the back 9 when no one was on the 1st tee or in the fairway. When we returned to play hole number 1 we were lined up. Pace of play was awful on the last 9 holes. Never should have started us on 10. Not happy about it.

Been here before and will return!

The only thing I can complain about is the rates are the same if not cheaper without the GolfNow fees if you call the course or go online.

I have never been turned around, even if they were busy. I think they should either reduce the golfnow NORMAL rates or take them all off.
