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.

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.

Best Layout in Charlotte

I love this layout, it's tough but not too tough. Wide fairways for the most part, very, very firm greens that rolled smooth and fast. Bunkers were in great condition as were the tees and fairways. My only issue was the twilight rate for green fees and a cart were less than the green fees for walking and I love to walk. The person I spoke to on the phone said pay the $55 for the cart and walk if I wanted to. Should be cheaper to walk.

Hidden gem

The course was in the sandy season with every green sandy but the layout was challenging. From tee to green you will have to shape shots to score effectively during your round. Great views of the history of the location! You will love this golf course, I will return!

Tough pin placements!!!!

The course was great and no real complaints outside of where the flags were placed on the greens. There was not a single flag that was in the center of the green on the day we played. Every flag was impossible to land close to and was no more than a few paces off the edge. They were all on the smallest corner of the green. I don't think there was a tournament going on. Overall great course and I will be back, but just a bit more variety in pin placements. This would also speed up pace of play!

Visiting from Phoenix…club rentals were above average. Great place/course. They had just fertilized, so it was cart path only, so it was hard to get correct distance. People and staff were friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend.

Nice day

Course was in good shape even after 2-3 days of rain. There was a lot of stuff happening at the race track so it was noisy but still a great day
