5Hrs 30 Minutes

This course is poorly managed and whoever is in charge is just collecting the money. I have played here many times and I will never play there again, the only time I ever played a 5:30 round was in an outing. I fully expected a longer round, but waiting several minutes on every shot and tee box is unacceptable.
There are no rangers on the course and the tee times are spaced at 10 minutes. Pace of play is not of importance to management. it’s only a matter of time before it works itself out with reduced tee time bookings.

Fun, well kept public course

Played here several times and always enjoy it. They keep conditions very nice fir the most part with the exception of many of the bunkers. Several challenging holes make you have to manage the course properly. Biggest downside is always pace of play. It gets stacked up.quickly on weekends and weekday afternoons and you rarely see a marshall out to speed up.play. price is a little high otherwise, this is a course worth playing often

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
