Disorganized from arrival
Arrived 45 minutes early for our 1148am tee time only to be told there was a roughly 2 hour delay due to frost in the morning. There were exactly 4 people waiting to tee off. The starter and other some other minion refused to let people tee off even when it was obvious the early tee times had decided not to show up. (Those were the members of course) .
After finally getting started roughly an hour late thanks to a new arriving staff member who had some common sense ... the course is terrible. Sure the layout has some moments but it is way too tricked up, too many blind spots. As a vacationing golfer, looking for an enjoyable round, go anywhere else. This place requires multiple visits to figure out all the idiotic nuances.
Muskoka Must
Loved the course, layout and experience..
It’s a must play if you are looking for a golf treat..
Fall 2020
Friendly staff on arrival, easy checkin, guided to 1st tee by starter, course (tee blocks, traps, fairways and greens) in exceptional condition. Very challenging off the tee, and approach shots to green.
After golf COVID friendly patio lunch was delicious
A must play!
Had a fantastic round despite a terrible score! Challenging for a beginner with fast and undulating greens, but the beauty of this gem of a course will leave you in awe! Course was in great condition, hit the range before too which was fun with lots of targets (flags and bunkers). Highly recommend!
Challenging
This course is hard. Accuracy is at a premium. Bring plenty of balls. Greens are vey fast and undulating. Loved it. Some very picturesque holes. Unfortunately the day I played it. It was very wet. So you ended up hitting it fat lots of times because of the conditions. That added to score quite easily. Would love to try it again with better weather and dryer conditions. A must play for all especially low handicappers.
Handy cup
Gave us handy cap flag but roped off the fair ways so you could not use fhem . Two of could not play all the hole.
Tranquil setting, a true test of shot-making
One could not stop but think how Nick Faldo must have felt priviledged given the task of designing a golf course on this beautiful tract of land meandering over peaks and valleys, dotted with granite shelves and buttes. While the course is challenging in every aspect, there are plenty of tee options to fit a player's handicap. Dispense with the ego and play from the suggested tee box and begin to enjoy the natural features of this fine course.
Electric carts would be a welcome change, as well as GPS. Such a serene setting, the gas motor noise pierces the quiet that exists within the course.
Amazing views
1st time playing here. Have been going to Muskoka for over 30 years. Have played a lot of the big name courses in the area. The Rock is by far one of my favorites now. Will definitely be back. Staff was very helpful and polite. Keep up the good work.
A Gem in Muskoka
The Rock is in great shape and is very playable . Greens were excellent along with the fairways. Staff were very friendly and even had a marshal that was monitoring the pace of play. Would suggest bottled water with carts, as none available on course. ( due to Covid , I would presume) .
Challenging Course
Beautiful Course and in great shape. Very wet and was cart path only but that was ok.
Beautiful course, very tough
This course is top tier for conditions and views. The pace of play was very good I played as a twosome with my girlfriend and we did not see another person all round it was as if we had the course to ourself. Paid $69 Each for the round which was unreal value for how nice this course is. Each hole is very tight and if you don’t hit the fairway your losing a ball so bring lots of balls. Layout was average the 18th par 5 was strange as I had to layup off the tee leaving no chance to even think about going for in 2
Terrible pace
The course claims extended time of 17 mins between groups. We started on time but as we were hitting our approach on the first hole par 4, another single already hit his tee shots which is well under 10 mins of our start time. We let the single pass up on the next hole #2 par 3, but in that time another single arrived at hole #2. The pace throughout the round is such that another group was always waiting behind us. We (4) finished just under 4 hours and felt this to be a very rushed round overall. The course would have been a lot more enjoyable if they did a better job spacing out groups.
bad experience with Golfnow
Made a reservation thru Golfnow to play at Stone Mountain Golf Club in Atlanta, Ga on 5/2/20. Paid $106.90 to Golfnow on your website. When we arrived to play on 5/2 the reservation did not show up and I had to pay again. Both charges showed up on my VISA account. VISA will not reverse the charges and I can't find a way to contact Golfnow to try and resolve the issue.
Amazing
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. It is a longer course than I’m use to so having to use my 6 iron as much as I did was a surprise. I have nothing but great things to say about this course and how they run things!
Course somewhat difficult for average golfer
This is a beautiful course however, very difficult for an average golfer. Many blind shots, many holes on an angle and course was extremely wet.
