Golden-Age Layout by Premier Architect

Rock Spring Club is the place to go if you want to play a pro-level course built for the average golfer. The layout features many of the template designs, including the Bottle, the Leven, the Short, the Redan and the Eden, and geometrically-shaped greens and bunkers for which Seth Raynor is most noted. Golfers are presented with well-placed hazards that require some thought or precision shot-making in order to avoid, but the wide fairways and generally short holes make the challenge manageable for the average player. As with all good course designs, there are bad misses and good misses, and there's always a way to play it safe and make a par. Greens are moderately contoured, but play fairly difficult if you aren't close.

We played in the afternoon following drenching rain overnight, so the course was very soggy in spots and the greens were exceptionally soft, but putts rolled pretty well. Fairways were mostly good condition, but there were a few areas that were under repair. Tee boxes were in mostly-good shape.

We played on a Wednesday, starting after 2PM when the rate drops to $59. For that price, this course is an exceptional value. On weekend mornings, the rate climbs to $99 which might be a little bit steep.
