Rock Manor Golf Club

Bunkers in horrable condition. Could not be played from / no sand

I keep coming back to this course because I like the layout. Not too difficult overall and some holes challenge your thought process. I don't understand why I end up teeing off of the back 9 first more than the actual first hole. They are ALWAYS backed up. Not backed up as in so many people dying to play but backed up as in poor management. 5 hours every round is ridiculous. Too difficult to get any sort of rhythm going. I am not impatient as I grew up as a caddie, but having to wait every round is not fun.

Also, the pricing is just not worth it. This course is not conducive to the single golfer. The only way I seem to find a deal that MAY be worth it is if I have 2 or more players. I have no issue waiting to be paired with a group of 2 or 3 players. If they made as many foursomes as possible, ill bet golfers' waiting times would drastically improve.

For $48.00 for a round in December, I expect the course to be in better condition. We started on the back 9 and the fairway of 10 was in poor shape. I get that it is December but for a $50 round I expect a little more. The biggest issue stemmed from the course ranger. Our group was a little slow (delayed at the start because the other 2 in our pairing were late) and a simple "can you pick up the pace of play" would have sufficed. Instead the ranger told one of our group members that he "doesn't f*** around" and that we better [pick up the pace of play because there was 1.5 holes open in front of us. Plain and simple, you can't talk to people like that. If you want to be stern that's fine, but when you talk like that it is utter disrespect. I did not get this persons name, but another member of our group immediately called the clubhouse to lodge a complaint, at which time he was informed that no manager was available and that he would get called back. I cannot even begin to explain how infuriating that was to hear. Fast forward to the end of the round. Included in the price of the round was a $5 food credit. When I checked in I was told that my receipt would be good for that credit. When we went into the bar I ordered and mentioned the credit. I then showed the receipts that I had and as told "that rate doesn't get the $5 credit". I was in no mood to argue and just paid for it but the level of customer service was just poor. I'd probably only play here again if the price was right, but wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Considering the price they are charging compared to other corses nearby the corse is not worth the money.

Where to begin, this is the worst course in terms of management I have ever seen. Tried to play a quick round today at 830 and asked what time the outing was going off, which was 1045. Course was otherwise empty, so I thought it should be no issue to get a round in. The front counter worker treated me like I was stupid when I asked to pay for my round, like it was my fault they couldn't accommodate, which they easily could of. Said he has a foursome making the turn so I couldn't tee off on the back 9. Sat in the parking lot for 20 minutes and no one came down 9 or was even on the teebox when I left. Truly pathetic. This course will never get my business again and I will not recommend anyone to play it.

The man at the front desk honestly deserves to be fired, just be polite to me when you say I can't play.

Always a pleasure to play an interesting course that seems to be well maintained everytime I've been there. Staff is friendly and the price is decent.

Great to play here. Good people, nice practice areas, and reasonable course challenge!

A few rough spots that need attention but overall a great experience.

There comes a time when you have to give up on a golf course. For me that day was today. I should say give up on the management of a golf course. There is absolutely no reason that the management should tolerate the reputation that it has for slow, tedious play. While the course itself is fine, the management has undermined the golfing experience by tolerating five hour rounds. Jammed up tee times and no ranger. That is the epitome disregard ffor the golfing public. I had to bail out after 9 holes as I was over 2 1/2 hours for 9 holes and that is the third time this season that I had to do that.
If you enjoy growing old while waiting to hit, then Rock Manor is for you. There are plenty of other courses in the same price range where the management actually cares about the golfing experience. That's where I will be playing.

Course was in good shape except for a few greens were chewed up or diseased. Conditions were dry but you could tell the staff was doing their best to keep the fairways green. Others have reported Pace of Play is poor and it DEFINITELY is!! No ranger in sight! Be prepared for at least 5 hours! Would be a great place to play if they spaced out the tee times a little bit more than they do.

It would be nice to have a notification at the time reservation or on their website regarding greens being aerated. Other than that, it was nice.

Course is OK, but, Aeration.... They should go to let us know .

Greens had many many ball marks. Course was packed which slowed play. Fairways were somewhat brown.

Pace of play very slow needs work. I played and there was a fivesome three holes ahead of me.

Course conditions were great. Weather has been hot and dry lately, so greens were playing super fast.

They pack in the tee times every 8 minutes, so pace of play was pretty slow. (But it was the weekend, so you can expect that anywhere).

Bunkers are hard as a rock. I had to pick the ball out of them every time. Made it extremely difficult around the greens.

Other than that the course is very well maintained, and have excellent facilities with range, chipping green, and putting green. Love coming here to play.

Enjoyed the back nine but thought the front nine was easy and unimaginative

The course and staff were great. The pace off play really go backed up on hole 3 with 3 groups of four waiting. I would be nice if the had someone out there monitoring the pace of play. I would recommend playing this course.

Good conditions overall, went as a twosome with the second tee time and the starter let us out first which was huge. We never saw the foursome behind us after the first whole. Done in 3 hours, great way to play and still have the day.

Played Sunday morning @830. Started on 10 don't know why since the back is harder than the front. Anyways they pack the course. It ended being a 5 hr round which isn't terrible but not good in my opinion for that time of day. We constantly waited a few minutes on every shot. They did have rangers out but it's just too packed in my opinion. Course is in nice shape with varying holes and tight forced carries. Knowing the course definitely helps. Greens are hard and fast which I like. Food and service were both great!!!! If you can't spin the ball bounce it on. Having a in between white and blue tee box would be nice. Also agree with another reviewer the sand traps are inconsistent. Finally they should tell you holes with drop area.

Fun course to play, great shape, every hole is different. Greens are unique and fast. Bunkers and pace of play are not the best
