Always Enjoy the "Rock"

RM is a great layout no 2 holes are the same very interesting test of golf with some very scorable holes for mid hcp player. Conditions were good as usual , greens were soft from recent rain and just a tad slower but in great shape, fairways & tee boxes good. Overall, a good gold experience on an overcast humid day kept the crowds down and pace of play was 3 hrs 45min.

Easy to make this course better

It's a fine layout, but conditions could be better. Greens were fast but full of poorly repaired ball marks. The fairways had numerous and deep divots on the fairways. Players aren't using the sand and the course isn't doing it either..

Too Slow

Took us over 5 hours to play. Tee times are only 10 minutes apart which never works out well. And no rangers on the course to help keep up pace of play.

Not Worth the Price

I've always been a fan of The Rock. Maybe it was just an anomaly but I will not be playing there until the prices go down.
We got there early to go to the range and warm up. The starter said, "oh you're here early". We got our carts set up, put our belongings in there but took our bags to the range. We came back to our carts and another 2 some got put in our cart and our belongings were missing. It took about 10 minutes for the starter/proshop to find them. Finally, time to play some golf. The course was in good condition but the greens were ridiculous. I know they are notorious for being "fast" but it seemed like no matter where you landed on the greens the ball was going to find its way close to the fringe. It was US OPEN WEEK! Not to mention the pin placements and pitch marks galore. Listen, I'm a single digit handicap and like a good challenge. But this has been the first time in a very long time where I walked away from a course not wanted to play it again for a while.
Again, maybe it was an anomaly but I left wanting more.

Fair test

Not overly long but a course that calls for accuracy. Easy to turn a routine shot into a big number because of the undulation and speed of the greens. A good solid test.

The Rock!

Very nice course. Holes are setup well, with nicely placed bunkers, so “hit it straight”! A drive a little off to the left or right will get you in very soft sand! You ante better off short of green than long. Agree with earlier posts on front 9 is a little more open than back 9 but still manageable. (I started on hole 10, finished on hole 9) Also agree Course is worth $65-$75 range. Staff was very nice! All in all, a pleasant track for this 17 handicapper!

Expensive

This is a great course, how ever its a great if the price of a round matched the course, worth maybe $65-75 a round. This course should not be $100+ per round, that is way too expensive for this course. This course is a step behind glen mills and just as expensive

Three putt bogey

This was my first time playing Rock Manor. It started with the starter letting me know that he "works off tips" then allowed me to put my own bag on the cart. The course was wet and they just punched the fairways. The grass pulled from the fairway was dumped in the ruff, so it was impossible to get a clean lie. The greens were also punched and caused numerous putts to bounce off line. There were a half dozen golf holes that felt like they didn't have enough room but built a golf course there any ways. All in all, I won't be back and I won't recommend it to any of my friends.

Good but not great

First time playing the course. Overall, pretty solid course. The front nine has a good layout with good use of a natural preserve. Back 9 felt a little squeezed in at times, and it's a very lackluster finishing hole. Overall the course is in really good shape. Pretty good greens, but don't listen to the starter, who said they were rolling at a 12 or 13. They were maybe a 10. Not fast at all, but smooth and firm for the most part. Food at the pub was really, really good, and not expensive at all, and bartender was super nice. For $95, it was a little steep, and probably should have included range balls, but given that the course was packed, I guess people don't mind too much.
