Rocky Gap Casino Resort

Nice course in the hills of Maryland. Can get busy in the summer as casino/resort goers take up the parking lot. Course is nice and challenging, but can be pricey without a 'deal'.

The course has some challenging holes, but was not yet in very good shape. The greens had some disease spots and were not always rolling true. Some of the tee boxes were raggedy. No water on the course and not at all easy to refill water bottles in the building.

I want to leave an honest review in hopes that the golf staff , mainly superintendent see this. The design and layout of the course is as good as you could do with the land that was already there. However the course needs some serious attention to be considered above average.
The greens have potential but it seemed like the holes hadn’t been changed out in many days. There were scuffs, worn out areas all around the holes. While other parts of the greens were immaculate.
Tee Boxes we’re also messy and needed changed out.
The range up on the hill has a very nice view to start your round but once again , practice areas were soaked and balls were in loading plates full of water.
We came to golf and gamble and frankly neither was worth a return from Ohio ( 4 hour drive )

Left my bag at the bag drop and when I returned to retrieve one of my drivers was missing

When I returned to retrieve the bag on of my drivers was missing

I forgot my bag at the bag drop when I left.
They said they held bag for me to retrieve.When I arrived they were very nice and brought my bag to my car and placed it in my trunk.
Upon arriving home I found that one of the two drivers in the bag was missing.

I played on Thanksgiving and had a great round! Being in a hurry to reach my destination for Thanksgiving dinner. I forgot my clubs at the drop off after the round.
Didn't realize I did this till the next day when I was to play again with my Brother.
I called the pro shop and was informed that they had my clubs in storage and I could pick them up on my way back through the area.
As I have a good relationship with the cart staff and starters it was a pleasant surprise to have them waiting for me to arrive.

Thanks to the entire golf staff for the extra effort.

Fun but challenging course. Great scenery. I'll be back.

Awesome scenic course. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

Very enjoyable course. Staff were helpful and friendly. Course is scenic and challenging.

One grip is , I played a 5 hr 25 min round. No Marshall was seen on the course to have golfers be more mindful of the stake up behind them. . Every hole had a 2 or sometime 3 group back up. It wouldn't be so bad if they managed groups of the first box. There was a mix of one-some, two-somes and groups of 4 going off the first tee. I know the staff is being friendly, but letting golfers already paired in a four-some to choice to break away at the first tee and having other two-somes choose to start on back nine creates a mismatch that results i a roller-coaster of a pace.

The course is fun and very good shape. Back nine is more open and easier and the greens and bunkers are as good and you can expect for the end of the season . I would love to play again but I won't anytime some. I was in a group of two, passing slower golfers was not an option when you can see 3 groups staked up in front of you. Just hated the 4 to 6 min wait at each tee box.

Great course, reasonable prices and the people that work at the course are amazing. Bob in the pro shop, Dave the starter, Micheal the guy out front that helps with carts. They are all wonderful, friendly people. I will be back soon

You see the Nicklaus name and think grandeur, well don't. It's a modest layout with very few interesting holes. 5 par 5's are fun, but all in all it's nothing compared to Potomac Shores which is the next closest Jack course. In terms of course conditions I found the bunkers to be the best part of the course. The long grass on the slow greens and undefined cut lines all around give you a course just a bit better than your average muni.
