Rockway Golf Club
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.

Fantastic Public Course
I was really impressed with how well maintained this course is and for the price at twilight, can't really complain. One thing to keep in mind is if you're booking a tee time after 4.30pm, the carts have to be back by 8.45pm. So I recommend you walk the course for anything booked after 4.30pm.
Rockway
A very good course for a city run facility. Overall was in good shape. Greens were good - tee blocks were a little rough. Would definitely play there again
Beautiful old course
The course was beautifully groomed but the carpet of maple keys coming off the trees made it challenging for putting and sometimes just locating the ball.
Love the course!
Very nice course @ a great value! Highly recommend.
Great course
If your a long hitter the course you can go low but you have to be accurate as every hole is lined tight wi th trees. Excellent course prolly the best municipal course in Ontario in my opinion
Exceptional value & great shape
Love love love the course! Really good shape for this time of year and played through without issue.
Staff was awesome, great conditions
The staff were super friendly, great conditions considering all the rain last week, played at 240pm and finished just after 6
