New things coming

Changes are coming to Rolling Hills. Third day into new ownership. Restaurant is closed. On course restrooms closed. Cart sales are card only. Some on course construction/remodeling has begun. Many exciting pictures of what course will be but hope they don’t overdo and eliminate the charm that is Rolling Hills.

Nice round, working to improve

Enjoyed the course and the pace. Par 3 tee boxes are under remodel but rest of course is playable. Only issue was with a “golf mom” who was with her spawn behind us. We tried to let them play through but the mom said “I enjoy watching my son hit into you”.????? Will be back to our local go to spot soon.

Fast summer golf

Course was firm, greens were thick and slow. Tee boxes of the par 3’s are under remodel so all are in the 70-85 yard range. Even with these issues, fun place to play. Fast round, nice staff all getting to practice short game.

It’s back

After some horrible conditions, the course is back and playable. A few wet spots in a few fairways, a few crusty fridges and a few burnt areas in the rough, BUT every course in the valley has them this time of year. Greens are smooth and rolling. Fairways are green allowing good drives to roil true. Have read about rough and bunkers being penalizing, they’re suppose to be. Downed trees have been cleared up. Happy to add it back into our summer rotation.
Only issue we had were individuals crossing the fairways and paths or “resting” in the restrooms with one golf club or rolling a shopping cart

Getting better

Parking lot was full so that meant the course was full. Sent off the back first and even being full, pace was fine. On the turn, there were 7 groups waiting to tee off on number 1 with no idea where they came from since they were not the same groups from our first side. We were allowed to replay the same side which turned out to be a mistake. The group in front were beginners playing the back tees. Zero etiquette made the back side horrible. Fairways were nice and green with a few mud patches. Greens were mostly full. Bunkers were nice. All these are big improvements over last time. Keep up on the improvements.

Getting better

Played today and was happy with the course progress. Played over the summer and was hugely disappointed with no grass anywhere but that’s changed. Course has grass on the greens and fairways were filling in nicely. Once weather cooperates and allows some drying out of puddles, will be happy to play again. Not pristine but playable.

Great course, great day

After many years of failed plans, we finally made it here. We were not ready for the pristine conditions from arrival till we left. We’re were greeted at the bag drop, when we checked in and by the starter with the same pleasant greeting. We began our round ahead of time and never waited. Tee boxes were green and level. Course was green and inviting. Only issue were the bunkers but this seems to be an Arizona issue, hard dirt or hard pan but thankfully I was only in a few. Will definitely make the drive back to play here.

Get ready to play here again

Course was days away from being great. Course was green but a few days from being mowed to normal conditions which will make it super. Ready to play now but know it will only be better in a week or two.

Going to be even better

Course is green and still fuzzy after overseed but it was still a great place to play. Cart path only made things a touch slower but no true holdups. Give them another week or two and it will be amazing.

Green great time

Beautiful green course. Course should be on your must play list when compared to the other area courses. Tee boxes, fairways and greens are in nice shape. Greens are a little slow but smooth. Come play before they close for overseeding end of this month.

Embarrassed

Have played here for many years. Course needs to close until it resembles a golf course. Dead fairways, dead greens, nothing but dirt. The only green areas seemed to be leaking sprinklers. I understand it’s been a dry year but the rates need to be in the $10 play all day range to be appropriate. Fully understand why only 6 cars in the parking lot on the weekend

Great time, great course

Course was in great shape. Fairways were still in nice shape for the time of year. Greens were quick but fair. The day we played was windy and made several holes that played into the wind super hard. Will be back

Great place, once you find it

Had some issue finding the course but once arrived, it was great. Bag drop employee was running full speed in many directions trying to keep many “demanding” golfers happy. Pro in the shop was amazing, as well as starter next to number 1, once we found it. Not a championship course but not expecting one, we came here to enjoy our day which we did. Day was relaxed with wide fairways, nice distance of holes and many beautiful views as backdrops. Would have loved to replay the same day but were told that’s not possible as many courses close due to low golfer demand. Will play again when we’re in the area.

Add to must play list

Course was in amazing shape. Green, rolling fairways. True rolling, quick greens. Rough and bunkers were well kept and fair. Could not pick a “best” hole with the mix of challenging risk reward holes, scenic par 3’s and great forced carry to greens holes. Only had one issue with bag drop person that seemed bothered having to take our clubs to cart area. Definitely ready to play here on out next time through.

Same as everywhere else

Finding the course was a challenge, poor signage. Course is not bad, just the same. Fairways were sparse of grass, rough was thick and lush which appeared more of their focus. Course runs through an older neighborhood with many residents who seemed bothered that we were on “their” course. With the number of places to play, I think we’ll choose one of those and let the residents have their course to themselves.

Put on your must play list

Arrived at the resort early before our room was ready so the valet took us to the course where we were treated like VIP’s. The course was in excellent shape with full fairways, smooth rolling greens and majestic views throughout. Wide fairways were very welcoming. Greens rolled true w we hick took a few holes to learn speeds and breaks. Will definitely be back when we pass through the area.

Money grab

Great location and past experiences but no more. Large group on first tee so decided to compare confirmation messages with other golfers, five groups were scheduled with 4 minute gaps when rates dropped(1pm on) Greens were full of metal golf spike marks, softball clear marks and baseball cleats marks. Fairways were narrow and nice, rest was dirt overgrown with weeds and tree debris. The twosome in front of us were teeing off from every tee box and playing them all, eight balls per hole. Ranger just smiled, shrugged and said “it’s Saturday, get used to it”. 3:10 to play front nine. Past many golfers at turn who were quitting their rounds. Pushed group in front of us who had a conference on each players shot. Cart girl seemed nice, if she only stopped. Saw her several times but never stopped for any groups, in front or behind us. Never saw on back nine but it was late afternoon by then. Disappointing day.

Worth the drive

Spent some time trying to find courses that had not started their overseeding process, found it!!! Course was in beautiful shape. Green fairways and smooth greens. The beverage cart came by regularly and was friendly as the shop crew. If you can make the drive, it’s well worth it.
