Rocky Lakes Golf Course
About
Rocky Lakes Golf Course in Springfield is like playing two courses in one. The shorter front nine is wide-open, offering a gentle start before moving on to the more slightly more demanding, par-36 back nine. Mature trees and water hazards come into play on the back as well as the occasional bunker. It is not a difficult layout by any means, but there are a few challenges in store. Overall the golf course is very player friendly, making it best for beginners as well as junior golfers. Intermediate and more advanced players will be disappointed if they are looking for a course that will test their skills, but the affordable rates make Rocky Lakes Golf Course a good option for a quick game where you can get a little practice.

4th of July golf
I took my father in law and my brother in law here for my father in laws birthday on the 4th of July. The course layout and condition wasn't bad by any means. 2 holes have a nice serene little creek flowing through them which I enjoyed. We stopped off for about 45 minutes at bogeys to get lunch which was pretty good and the staff inside of there were really nice. We did however run into an issue with being nagged at about pace of play when we got stuck behind a slow player and the worker was pretty rude about it. After lunch we were caught behind someone who was really slow and we were nagged at about pace of play while we ourselves were going pretty quick for 3 players. Every so often though we would have to stop and wait for the guy in front of us. Not a word was said to the guy in front of us who was going slow when we had to keep waiting though. While the course itself was nice, I won't go somewhere that I'm going to be nagged at about pace of play when I'm stuck behind someone who's slow.
Hot time
Some wet spots that day, noticed some inconsiderate golfers driving in wet areas! Course played well, mowers were active making course beautiful,great job gents! Challenging holes played hard due to wetness but fair!
Greens
Greens are in great shape and they have done a lot of work to improve course.
Low stress play
Nothing fancy here. Several of the holes are back and forth muni style. A few of the holes have character. The greens were in great shape. Lady at the desk was friendly. Didn't eat or drink so can't speak on that. Great course if you working on something or hitting straight off the tee is an issue for you. Though I wouldn't go out of my way, I would play it again.
Rocky Lakes
Course was very busy so pace of play was slow. Course rough is very thick, lost a lot of balls, and when you did find one it holds it very well. So if you’re going to play here, stay in the fairway.

My 2 friends and I played May 19, 2025 at 11:00. The course was a little wet but in good shape. It’s a little tougher than you think little creeks to carry to the greens. Would highly recommend this course when it’s drier
Solid Value
Nice course, good value, not overbooked like so many.
Excellent Course for the Money

My friend Fred and I played Rocky Lakes GC 10/16/24 at 11:00.. The course was in great shape. The rough was high, the greens recently aerated, but overall in great condition. Would recommend this course. The back 9 is more challenging. Thank the staff and restaurant for outstanding service.
