Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills
Rating Snapshot
About
The executive-length Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills (formerly known as Rolling Hills Golf Course) provides an excellent game and it is a very player-friendly course. True to its name, the course is quite hilly causing a few elevation changes and undulating greens. The fairways are lined with pretty trees, adding some challenge and beauty to the course. There are no water hazards but there are a few strategically placed bunkers to worry about as well as some out-of-bounds stakes bordering a few of the holes. Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills consists of ten par 3s and eight par 4s. On the premises there are also practice facilities, a pro shop, and an on-site golf pro.

Not worth the money (yet?)
The cost was 3x more than before it was taken over by Grass Clippings. But it's basically the same course as before the change. Maybe it will be worth the hefty price increase when the construction is done, or for night golf, but it's not there, yet.
Great fun!
I loved the atmosphere! A great course it’s shaping up to be. I like the young vibe! A little musc, good truck, area to hang out! The course is fun and fun d play it for sure! I like that it is lighted also.
Use mats for tee boxes
Front 9 used mats for. Tee boxes and shortened previous par 4's to par 3's. Greens were on good condition, but hard to hold and rough short and dry doesn't stop long run offs.
Golf at Grass Clippings
Course is not in great shape...not a sniff a green between tee box and greens .
Hitting off mats still
Hole signage non existent
9th hole gps on cart off by 100 yards
Paying with cash not an option
The food truck had excellent food
TERRIBLE
150$ for a par 3 course is absolutely ridiculous and the police should investigate for robbery. I don’t care if they massage your back while you play, a couple lights doesn’t make you able to charge 6x what you used to charge.
WAY TO EXPENSIVE
Played here many times before they switched. This course used to be city owned and the local spot to get in some reasonable golf where you could play 18 holes for 20$ at times. Now they added some lights and are charging 100$-150$ for 18 AND they took out the par 4s. This is absolutely ridiculous and they should be JAILED for the robbery they are committing on people.
Night Golf is super cool
Had an incredible time playing night golf at Grass Clippings. It’s a par 3 course so it’s a bit pricey. People complain about dead fairways, but you shouldn’t be in the fairway on a par 3 course. Greens were amazing. Tee boxes were okay. It’ll only get better.
Also props to ownership for holding some amazing events and getting top YouTubers there.
Same old course, but cost 3 times more.
I think the fees are pretty unrealistic for day golf. I don't like the changes to the front 9, took out what little character it had. glad they left the back 9 alone.
Grass conditions are much better where there is grass. All native areas are now ugly dirt. I'm sure there's a plan I hope.
Carts were nice, staff was GREAT!
has gone downhill
This used to be so fun to play. Price has skyrocketed and course in bad shape. Driving range a mess. No grass to tee from.Tee boxes hammered. No ball washers. Greens used to be excellent. Now just so-so. They have reduced the fairway area on the par fours. Looks and plays awful. Too much dirt area on the front nine. No yardage markers on fairways or cart paths.Seriuosly? These people have no idea what they are doing. Such a shame. Used to be my go-to course. Doubt I will ever play there again.
disappointed
Tee boxes on 1-8 are artificial turf, not good. Way more dirt than green grass. Not sure why would call it "Grass Clippings".
Talk about course improvements
They really have done a great job with this course. The greens are fantastic. Plan on lots of three putts. Playing at night is something to experience. All of the staff is great. My only issue is while using 18birdies it get a bit wonky between day tee times and night. Don't hesitate... Just book it. You won't have any regrets.
