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.

Poor customer service

I have played this course many times. I was very disappointed with the poor customer service I experienced yesterday.

The young men were not helpful, instructing me to “go ahead and load my bag on the cart “. Very poor level of service. In the past, I was greeted in a welcoming fashion, my bag was loaded and unloaded, clubs wiped down.

Additionally, we sat patiently waiting for guidance as to when we could start play. When I inquired, I was told that “no one’s on the tee box, I guess you can go”. This was 2 minutes prior to tee time.

Suggestion-your team seems to be retrained in customer service.

Great Day at Rocky River

Took a Monday off and went to Rocky River. Perfect day on the course. Through the cold and rain in the days leading up, the course was in amazing condition. Greens were true and fairly fast. Fairways nicely cut and rough was reasonable. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. 5 star!!

Walked

Still good after a rain

Had. couple of days of rain and cold: course dried out well: a few slushy spots but all in all excellent. Club nicely moved the tee boxes up to accomadate the conditions. Played with a friendly group and they almost kept the pace. Great walking rate and decent warm up. Green in great condition.

Great course for mid handicappers

Love the course layout, a mix of easy/difficult holes. The greens are in great shape and it will test your short game. Only few tee boxes were out of shape, fairways and greens are in great shape. Driving range was disappointing, irons only which makes it difficult to feel confident on hole 1. Overall enjoyed my time, will definitely return .
