Pace of Play

I’ve played here for over 5 years off and on. Almost every time I play, I don’t finish my round and I hardly ever play with 3 more players. It’s due to tight, back to back tee times and players who do not know golf etiquette. There’s no reason why this course should be backed up at all times and there’s no reason why people are teeing you multiple times with people waiting to hit their shot. It honestly feels like Rock Manor has improved the course but are jam-packing as many people on the course as possible due to what’s going on in the world. It’s a shame because the course is good. Also, the people who work there don’t have the greatest personality. The former assistant manager or so was a jerk for the longest time and it always was something I thought about when booking a tee time but I come back due to being close to home; and that’s probably the only reason why I go back but last weekend was the last straw. It gets really old not being able to finish your round when spending good money. No thank you- I’ll take the ride to White Clay or Deerfield.

Great to be back

Great to be back on the links. Young guy who was the starter gave was super helpful with course tips and advice. Found the layout really rewarding- don’t have to hit driver on every hole.... but man those greens are brutal (positive note). Tons of undulations and quick, making the course a good test for my game. Fairways and tees absolutely lush. Worth the price, I’ll be back!

Sneaky

Some holes at the tee box look like no big deal. Then you realize you just 3 putted.. Approach shots MUST be below the hole. The greens are outrageous, and I mean that in a good way. This coarse has a lot of interest being and older coarse . Each hole is very different. No back and fourth cookie cutter stuff. Lush and grown in.Feels like a grand daddy that commands respect. You just can’t blast off the tee box and hope for the best. You can’t really get home from the next fairway like some other tracks. I played much better on the back once the course put me in line and I realized that I had to think a little more . All in all, very pleased. Looking forward to playing it again with a different perspective.

“Welcome to the Rock”-Sean Connery

The Rock has a great layout with a more than fair ability to score well. It’s accessible easily to PA,NJ,DE,and MD residents as it’s right off I-95. You always start on 10 as 1 is a severe short downhill dog leg right hole. Besides from that I can’t say I’ve ever had a bad experience. I love the Rock!

course going against the government’s rule

paid for a cart round and was told to walk with my bag on my playing partner’s cart because they only had a limited amount of carts, was not notified pre round of this and would not recommend coming here until after the pandemic is over.

Country club quality greens and fairways

Fantastic course, wish I had discovered it sooner. As the title says, the fairways and greens were amazing. Even though it had just rained the greens were really fast and firm, making for a challenge compared to most public courses. I will be heading back soon.
