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.

Good course fast greens

Greens were firm putted true and extremely fast. Couldn’t hardly make a SW stop with spin. Lots of trees if you struggle like I do to hit it straight every time with the big stick you will loose a lot of balls. Hard ground huge roll which is good and bad.

I played in early June and the course was in excellent condition. I am from NJ and my first time playing there. For a public course I was very impressed and will definitely be back again.

Walked

Greens in great shape

Rocky River is a solid course with excellent greens. Front 9 fairly open, back nine more challenging with fewer side by side holes. Great course to walk with close tee boxes - they do not have push carts though, so bring your own or carry your clubs.

Greens Greens Greens!!!!

Tee boxes are plush, greens are firm and true, staff are super accommodating. If you keep the ball in play and out of the woods you will be rewarded! Absolutely mint greens for a public course!
