Very nice condition for a rainy February

Considering all the rain we’ve had in 2021 this course was by far the best condition of any course I’ve played in the area. Good pace of play as well as courteous staff.

Top course around

Course layout is great with right amount of difficulty. Unlike most around using water and trees, this course has the hills, water, doglegs, and elevated greens to make you think about your shot. It has new large putting greens and new practice facilities. The food at the restaurant is superb and a great price. Highly recommend

Although winter, the course is not in great shape.

Fairways advertised as generous, not so much

Several holes not appealing to the eye

With coupon code, did not pay a lot to play, but would have been aggravated if I had.

May give it another shot in peak season,

Nice layout

First time playing and it was worth the 1.5 hour drive. The course offers a good combination of flat and straightforward holes that are intermingled with

holes with elevation changes that require shot placement strategy off the tee. Good size greens with ample break to challenge any putter. The course is in very good condition from tees to greens.

Great time!!!

I had an hour drive to get here but it was worth it!!! Great lady in the pro shop got me fixed up and since we was early she told me the restaurant had a great cheese burger, she wasn’t kidding. One of the best I’ve had any where!!! The layout was good and the pace of play was perfect. The greens rolled nice and were in good shape. The fairways were coming in good from the overseed but were a little thin, no big deal. Great price and will definitely make the drive again!!!!

Rudest worker.

Some old man working in the pro shop made my gf pay a cart fee just to ride with me even though she wasn’t playing. He treated me terrible the entire time I was in there and was rude to my GF. He should never work around customers again. From now on I will be going to Blackstone golf course. This is the reason Rocky has fallen off and why they could no longer be private is because of grumpy old people like him. Terrible experience
