Not worth the drive time

This reminds me of playing courses in the midwest that were poorly managed and poorly maintained. I will never play this course again.

Used cart

Price confusion!

The price for nine holes and a cart literally doubled over the weekend. Not happy. Rock Creek is a good course that has been let go too long. They are taking care of the greens, and the maintenance crews are great, but too little has been put into the course for too long. The fairways are rough, lumpy, bumpy, weedy. It used to be a bargain, and it was worth playing there when it was cheap, our “local rules” were that you can place the ball anywhere within three feet to find some reasonable grass to hit from… seriously, it was that bad. Just fine when it’s 14.00 for nine holes, but the GolfNow app literslly raised ot to twice that price! Overnight! No thank you. If I’ve got to pay a “going rate” I’m going to play where I can make decent ball contact off of a proper fairway. They are renovating the course, and the plan promises to create a great course, but they certainly shouldn’t raise the prices while it’s going through the renovations!

Can’t wait to play again

The course is undergoing a lot of maintenance but still worth playing especially for the price. The holes can be challenging with elevation being a huge factor, but not overwhelming for those new to golf.

This course is awful

Terrible conditions, hilly, about of golf carts and push carts(which are all broken), overall the worst course I have played. It makes Langston look like a country club

Pretty beaten up

Guessing that since the renovation is coming that they deferring all types of upkeep as it is pretty poor condition

1st and only time

Not sure when the last time they watered this course. Tee boxes were terrible. Greens were dry and cracking. Most of the tee boxes were missing their sign indicating yardage. I won't be coming back

Ball Eating Brush

If you are an amateur golfer bring extra cheap balls. You can hit a good shot and still loose a ball!

Poor condition

Cheap course but very poor course conditions. Tee boxes were mostly dirt, greens were full of weeds, fairways were a mess, and the cart paths were unnavigable in many places. The course was very dry. So dry in fact, that my wife could not get a tee into the ground on several of the tee boxes. Staff was friendly but that was the only redeeming aspect of the course other than the low price. I should have known better.
