Rocky River Golf Club at Concord
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Improvef Course in Great condition
Played here twice in June 2023 after a year. The course looks much better in very green lush conditions. Staff is attentive and starters are mindful. We were twosome and the starter Keith let us go ahead of time. We finished in 2 1/2 hours. Shot 74. My only gripe about this course are the GPS restricted carts that are a pain if you get slightly off track. I think the course should disable the GPS restrictions which will improve the experience hugely. Otherwise no complaints. Good fun course.
What a day @ the Rock!
Course played up to its name and potential. I hit my drive right up to the Rock on the signature hole #3. Such fun playing with my son and 2 others having a great time. I will play again soon.
Course is in great shape!
Rocky River is a great golf course with some very interesting holes. Definitely recommend playing there.
Nice course
Played with two walkers who slowed me down. 1 hr for 6 holes then 3 hours to finish and never saw the group ahead of us. Driving range was not open and it was too early for beverage services in the clubhouse apparently. Course excellent but also heard pace of play can be really slow. Members said 6 hours is a thing. I can see that if they are walking ans the back is hilly
Great course
I played 3 courses on consecutive days, and this course was far and away the best. The bent grass greens were quick but true, and course condition was excellent.
u314159920342, thank you for the awesome rating! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another great experience, and thanks for choosing Rocky River Golf Club at Concord.
More than the river is Rocky!
Challenging layout with excellent greens for putting. Well appointed pro shop, nicely merchandised with competitive prices.. Electric carts with built in GPS are a big plus - you can even listen to hip-hop, Mozart, or cool jazz using the Bluetooth option (Wha?!). Large rocks come into play on several holes, particularly #3.
On the downside, this course is carved out of lowland woods so your ball is easily lost just a few few feet off the fairway (but you can usually find someone else's ball!). Some holes are cart path only due to soft fairways, negating the cool GPS carts. Grill room is okay, although during slow season the menu is very limited. Probably would be better if more golfers (and non-golfers) stayed for sandwiches.
All-in-all, a very good golf experience - one of my favorites in the Charlotte area. I highly recommend this course and please stay for lunch and a draft beer.
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Rocky River Golf Club at Concord!
Best golf in the area!
First time playing at Rocky and I have got to tell you it is worth it to write a review. Best golf that I have played so far in this entire area. I am from Huntersville about 25 minutes away and this place is a gold mine! Staff is extremely friendly, pace of play is great. Course is in unbelievable conditions. Carts are updated with screens, Bluetooth, small coolers. I will absolutely be back here. This will most likely be my main course that I play. No need for a rangefinder because the carts I have live updated tracking and GPS… yesterday it poured down rain and it was still in phenomenal condition and 90°. Five out of five stars 100%
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and leave such a positive review of our golf course. We're glad you enjoyed the course and found our staff friendly and helpful. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Best Public Course in Charlotte Area
This is the best course in the Charlotte area. It's in great shape.. Greens are firm and fast.

This course has the fastest greens I have played maybe ever! But the greens are true! I played with a father/son who were excellent golfers; both shooting close to par! I made two long putts but missed lots of short ones!
The conditions were excellent. This is a really good course.
