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.

Lots of changes ??

Not the same, they are working to change it up for learning to golf I think? and have night golf also. Lights and speakers everywhere with music playing and sometimes really loud. Carpet on the Tee boxes probably a good thing as the grass on most tee boxes is completely dug up with divots everywhere as well as a lot of divots on some fairways. Where's those people who can't seem to repair divots. Greens are strange grass ?? Don't think I'll be back.

They're trying

I could tell the owners are trying to make this place newer, fun and trendy, but the course needs some work. Tee boxes are pretty bad and it'll all target shooting, no fairways.

Not the Greatest

We were disappointed in this course. It is a long walk carrying clubs to the bag drop area which is next to the pro shop. No carts allowed in the parking lot. The signs did not match the tee boxes so it was confusing at times. I paid $3.25 for a small cup of coffee. The pace of play was average. This is a desert course so there is a lot of dust involved. They said they are doing some construction but I'm not sure what it would be. We will not be back.

Fun course but a little overpriced

Overall a good fun course to play especially if you want to work on your short game and to get better with irons. The Fairways were kind of okay but the greens were well kept. If you play at night they don’t tell you that most of the Par 4’s will turn to 3’s because of the lighting. The price point was too high overall for what you got out of it $80-$130. I’d say the course should be around $50-$60.

Night golf

We played the night round on a Tuesday, came for the tacos and margaritas special, which does not exist contrary to the newsletter. A food truck was the only food option which didn't accept the grass clippings gift card. I wouldn't play here until construction is completely done. Also, the range is like hitting in a haboob because of how much dirt there is.

Not for experienced golfers

This course is great if no one else is around. Majority of golfers here are hackers who play slow. Management does not seem to care as there is no Marshall and they have no problem sending out fivesomes, there was a group of ten they sent out in two groups of five ahead of us and they were all hacks and no Marshall to keep them on pace, however if you suck at golf, or love to play slow, this is the course for you.

Marshall started blabbing about pace of play on the first hole...we definitely weren't holding anyone up. This set a bad tone for the day.

I love this course

Probably the best executive course in the area. They're doing a great job and I've grown to love playing there.

Keeps getting better

The course conditions were perfect. Greens and fairways were on- point! New off course amenities are still under construction. Driving range and practice greens are fully available; it just keeps getting better

Wayyyyyy Overpriced

It was not clear that it turns into a par 3 course at night.

You must hit off of turf tee boxes

Pace of play was slow but at least that was expected.

Active construction site

I played this course often on for more than 30 years. In fact, we hosted a bachelor party golf tournament there will before I get married

The green boxes are in fine shape. Everything else about the courses torn up due to construction. Everything around the shop that is under construction and there’s no indication of that when you book your teetimes The pictures and all of the advertisements on their website are not accurate for the current condition. The photos of the people gathering at a party type of atmosphere are stock photos, and are not what this course currently looks like. I’m super excited to see the post renovation, but there should be a disclaimer that these photos are what the future will look like.
