Rock Hill Golf & Country Club

Rock Hill Golf & Country Club in Manorville is hands down one of the finest public golf courses on Long Island. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with a sense of calm and quiet that makes you feel like you've escaped the everyday rush — even though you're just a short drive from the expressway. Nestled in the heart of the Pine Barrens, the scenery is stunning year-round, with rolling fairways, towering pines, and beautifully maintained greens.

The course itself is a real treat for golfers of all skill levels. It's challenging without being punishing, offering a great mix of wide-open drives and strategic shot-making. Every hole feels thoughtfully designed, and you can tell the maintenance crew takes pride in their work — the fairways are lush, the greens run true, and the bunkers are in excellent shape. It’s the kind of course where you look forward to every hole. I challenge you to find a greener course on Long Island.

What really sets Rock Hill apart is the welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly, accommodating, and genuinely want you to enjoy your round. Whether you're teeing off early or catching a late twilight round, there's a laid-back vibe that makes every visit a great experience.

And don't sleep on the clubhouse — it's spacious, inviting, and offers a perfect spot to relax after your round. The food and drinks hit the spot, and the patio overlooks the 18th green for a great finish to the day.

If you're looking for a high-quality golf experience without the private club price tag, Rock Hill is the place. I keep coming back for the top-notch conditions, peaceful setting, and overall great value. It’s a true Long Island gem.

The front and the back have different feels and the variety was nice.

The whole course is beautiful, it was in great condition for the end of the season, and it’s a really good challenge overall. I was really impressed.

Rock Hill is a good course in good condition, but not stand out or highly memorable. It has a handful of holes that play up and down elevations well, with a large part of the rest of the course basically flat. It is generally wide open off the tee with a well-placed bunker or two on most holes to provide strategy. The greens are good, with interesting turns and slopes that require smart reads. A number of holes have manufactured ponds in play. Walking is not allowed which is unfortunate because it seems like it would be a nice walk. Overall, Rock Hill is a decent course in good shape to play a round if you are in the nearby area.

Today we teed off at 8:40 and we ended up walking off the course after 15 holes. We saw the Ranger one time and we explained that there was a hold up ahead of us and he said he would address it. We left the course after just four hours and playing 15 holes. The last two holes took us 40 minutes to play so it likely would’ve been a five hour round. It’s been playing slowly all summer long and unfortunately I don’t think I will be coming back again soon.

1. staff friendly

2. had real grass practice area, very good $5 for 45 ball great

3. course somehow challenging, with slopes and small green

had to hit and make shape shots

4. not excellant condition, sort of natural .........

but with $65 include cart and green fee , cant ask for me

5. a little far to Suffolk but couple of nearby courses , not too cheap

6. may be early season, not crowded at restaurant but believe can be better

It is mid April and yet another gem on Long Island is struggling to get back into shape after a long harsh winter. Rock Hill in Manorville showed signs of winter damage around the edges of greens and the rough. But, like other high quality public accessible courses on this rock, the maintenance crew is trying to turn it around. In a month it will be beautiful again.

If you live near Manorville the best value is the range plan. For 7 months all the range time you need on grass, not a mat, for $200.

Greens are in okay shape. There not there yet. Couple of weeks and it will be there. Very hilly and challenging pin placements. Its wide open fairways and long par 4s and 5s. The staff is great!

This course is seriously a hidden gem out east. I’ve played the course a few times and each time I like it even more. The course is always in great condition and unlike many courses on Long Island, the greens actually aren’t flat. I prefer the back 9 over the front. The front has some nice holes like the downhill par 5 second hole and a few nice short par 4s. This course gets fun on the back. The 10th is a 400+ par 4 that’s down hill and the 18th is a long tester to finish. There’s two short par 4s that should be birdie holes on the back. All in all one of my favorites just wish they opened up more earlier times for non members

This review is somewhat skewed because I played the course during a Fire Dept tournament but nonetheless the course is in great condition, great variety of holes and also take note that new white tees were added at 6000 yds which isn't indicated anywhere on the internet. This course seems like it would be a bear at 6400 plus for a bogey golfer (21 hdcp here) but at just over 6000 it's just right. Greens are a nice medium speed and the fairways are wide enough to accommodate some wayward shots but the front nine has enough trees to keep you in check. Facility is lovely and the food is amazing. Can't speak to how it runs on a normal weekend but def worth checking out.
