Rocky River Golf Club at Concord
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.

Excellent condition.
Course is in great shape. Greens are fast but hold shots. Fairways, rough all well manicured. Traps with bright white sand are also in great shape. I hadn’t played this course in a number of years and I forgot how hilly it is. At almost 70 years old, walking 18 was not a good idea!
Great Condition
Course was in great condition for April, or any time of the year! Bag drop staff was very friendly - they even called the pro shop and checked me in so I didn't have to go inside. Rocky River is always overpriced, and I knew that when making reservation, so did not let that affect my rating.
Reliable and solid
I've been playing this course once or twice a week for the past month, and it is always in great shape. The greens are impeccable, and the fairways (while maybe a bit dry at this point in the year) are solid and run true. The staff is also always helpful, even during this social-distancing era. The course is challenging, and higher handicaps may lose some balls, but you'll still enjoy yourself.
Great Value
I liked that the carts have GPS and electronic scorecard. Great course.
Best public course in Charlotte area
Probably the best public coarse in the Charlotte metro. Since they went to Bermuda Grass green they are always in great sharpe and FAST! Love playing at Rocky River!
Fun course
i had not played this course in several years and was presently surprised. We really did not encroach on the group in front of us or get pushed by the group behind us. The pace was fine. The course layout is nice with a returning nine. I like variety of distances and pars, so the front nine with only one par three and par five a bit of a bummer. However, the greens are nice and really really fast. Overall is a really good experience.
Terrific course.
First time playing this course. It is a terrific, fun layout with no two holes the same. The greens were fast and mostly in good shape. Some of the fairways were thin but the course gets a lot of play. Great place to play!
Great greens
The course is in excellent shape with fairways pretty much grown in and the greens were amazing. Smooth, fast and true. I’ll be back!
All around great course.
Thank you for allowing me to use individual cart during pandemic. I enjoyed the round today. It’s been over 3 years since I’ve play the course and it’s in great shape.
Great course
Well managed and great condition with all the rain
First time here
Greens are fast considering the amount of rain the days before playing. Fairways were wet and muddy. Staff was great in helping me. Had to wait before starting the round due to foggy conditions. Will return again.
Its winter alot of rain #4 was closed do to high level of water that destroyed the green. I'm sure in the spring the course will play better. Cool fairways to play but it was muddy. Just playing golf still fun to play. Cool views the drag racing track you see John force stadium.
Rocky River New Years Day 2020
The course was in Excellent condition from tee to green. I always say Rocky River is one of the best public courses in Charlotte by far. Front 9 plays more open. The back 9 is more challenging but you should be warmed up to shoot well. The course has mix of dog legs and about 5 water holes. My favorite par 3’s are at #5 and #15 over water, which are short but challenging. Bring your A game and hitem well at Rocky River!
