Rocky River Golf Club was carefully carved from lush, rolling hills and natural wetlands with the intent of preserving the beautiful terrain as much as possible. The course flows across the dramatic natural contours of the land, providing holes with plenty of elevation changes. Running alongside the rolling fairways are winding ribbons of native wetland grasses that weave through rocky outcroppings. Golfers shouldn't be surprised if they come across some of the wildlife that inhabits the course, which includes cranes, deer, and beavers. In addition to the stunning scenery, the golf course offers a challenging round. The large, contoured greens demand accurate iron play. Errant shots will find their way to the wetland areas or the patches of seeded fescue. In addition to the golf course, Rocky River offers a driving range with four target greens as well as a putting and chipping green.

Incredible course. Top to bottom.

I’ve played Rocky River around 6-8 times now, and it’s hands down my favorite course in the Charlotte area.

Course doesn’t have a blemish on it. Staff is hilarious, and handles business, range and putting green is solid, and the list goes on.

You’ll have great opportunities to let loose with driver all day, few tight holes but mostly pretty open. Sweet green complexes, and awesome par 3’s.

On top of all that, it is the most American course of all time. You’re dead next to a 4 wide drag racing strip, a dirt track, and Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Mint, will be back soon a lot.

Good quality course

First time playing this in town visiting a friend. In great condition with fast greens. Pace could have been better waiting on every tee box but believe there was a tournament going on (went off at 11am on a Saturday). Would play again

Fun/fair course

A very straightforward course with plenty of wide fairways but enough dog legs to keep it interesting. Great course to hone your game. Conditions were exceptional, especially given this time of year.

Not bad

Staff friendly, cart girl visited a few times, driving range on mats. Clubhouse concessions AC was broken so setup in hallway with limited options. Had brake issues with one cart and a few par 4/5 holes were cart path only. Overall liked the course and mowing was good. Myself and partner only lost 2 balls combined during the round (as compared to over a dozen at Birkdale last weekend, including several along the fairway).
