About

Rockway Golf Course celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2010. This classic course, situated in the heart of Kitchener, has long been a favorite in the Waterloo region. When it opened back in 1935, it was the area's first public course. With its lush fairways lined with mature trees, it is almost impossible to guess that the golf course sits on the former site of a sewage treatment plant. The course has a traditional layout that is gentle enough for beginners but is still an inviting challenge for more advanced players. The front nine offers a gentle start but the course gets progressively more difficult on the back nine. Overall, though, the golf course has some challenging holes but nothing too intimidating. In addition to the course, Rockway also boasts one of the area's largest practice greens as well as a chipping area with a sand bunker.

Pro shop staff very friendly and helpful, but starter was rude and inflexible. We were kicked off the course after 16 holes, even though we could have finished.

For such a short course, there is often an extremely slow pace (4 1/2-5hr) in the afternoon/twilight. Book an early morning time if you want to avoid it

3 HOLES CLOSED

Did not disclose that 3 holes not available for play. Was charged full amount for green fee ( golfnow) and cart (at course). Tried unsuccessfully for a partial cart refund but course staff would not co-operate.

Tees need leveling

Some of the Tees have a large crown and no where to address the ball with a level stance.

At 35 dollars best deal around . Grass is just perfect on fairways and rough .
