Worth the stop
We book as a spontaneous break in traveling and it was totally worth it. The staff could not have been kinder- every single person was friendly and the rangers were seen often, but not intrusive. Play was slow this day but that was due to cart path only & a pair of outings in the morning. The course is fai & challenging with some really beautiful holes. Definitely give it a try!
Six some...SLOW
What a beautiful resort and golf course. Such a beautiful and challenging layout. Each hole is your own as you wind through elevation changes and receptive greens. Fairways are hive put the rough will penalize you. Sand in bunkers was firm but clearly not raked daily. The cart girls were friendly and prices were cheaper than most. After round found great bar food and atmosphere at a great price. But you let a six some play two groups ahead of us. Tired of getting to the next tee to see the group ahead had not tees off. It appeared they were out of position by about an hour. Marshall said he made them skip a hole and blamed it on the pro. My daughter moved to the area and I searched for a new go to place but many other slow play reviews. Maybe this course does not care. I noted that the course does not respond to reviews, maybe it is time for a new pro. Ps the other couple playing with me quit the round due to pace of play
Rocky Gap Golf
The course was wet but the beautiful surroundings more than made up for this.
Great rates by Golf Now!
Enjoyable challenge
There is a tee box for everyone, but don’t bite off more than you should. It will be a long day if you do. Bring a few extra balls if you are erratic off the tee. Fun course. Will play again.
Rocky Gap has become a go to spot for people in the area due to the casino and other resort amenities. I was expecting the golf course to be in a little better condition given the time of year. Greens were slow, fairways were a little crisp but overall the course was in good shape. The front nine is more difficult, not a lot of room to miss off the tee. The back nine is more open and receptive to wayward tee shots. Scenary on the course is beautiful. With the leaves changing you will have plenty of opportunites to get some great pictures. The staff was very friendly helpful. I would recommend this course to all and look forward to playing it again
Beautiful course and very friendly and helpful people! Would love to play this course again!
BEAUTIFUL SCENERY
The course was in excellent shape and the views of the mountains are worth the trip. Staff was friendly. The casino is the main attraction to most people but if you play golf then play the course.
Best Area Course
Excellent course conditions. Pricey unless you are a member or find an online deal. Can be intimidating for beginners but overall it tests all of your golf skills,
Played for 4th or 5th time---Last Round a couple of years ago...
This is a very nice course in a beautiful setting---definitely a course to experience at least once. I am a good golfer and hit the ball very well during this round, but make not mistake--this is a difficult course. Generally playable---with a couple quirky holes--even with a great drive on the very narrow Par 5 number 15---you MUST keep the ball right towards the trap and hill---hit what I thought was the perfect lay up shot only to find it was in the weeds to the left that jut in towards the green--and you can't see that from the fairway. The strong wind made several holes play very long---even with a very good driver day for me. Only criticism is for the high level and $$ amount of this course, several tees were in very sub-par condition. I did get a great Golf Now tee time rate---but if was paying full price the tee condition on certain holes would be rather disappointing. Surprisingly, there is also a lot of traffic noise from the interstate which did detract a bit from an otherwise peaceful round.
Nice course. Very active resort. Enjoyed the golf.
Course was in pretty good condition. We had excellent weather. Played in a foursome. Total playing time was 5.5 hours as we were waiting on every hole to tee-off. Unfortunately, the people behind us were not as patient as we were and hit into our group a couple of times. After the round we were told that there was a group that went out 1.5 hours ahead of us that held everyone up. We enjoyed the visit to MD from PA despite the slow play and rude players behind us. I would recommend the course based on the layout, conditions and staff. Just be prepared to spend some extra time there if the course is backed up.
Nice course
Course in excellent shape . A very challenging course . Kind of buggy . We played in morning .
For a resort course I thought the bag attendants were very inattentive . . I had to take clubs off cart and load into my car . No one around to wipe off clubs . .
Rocky Gap
The resort is absolutely gorgeous! The course is also very nice. It's a little tight on some holes. We have played it several times and it has always been "cart paths only" as it seems to dry slowly after a rain. This time they did allow us on the cart path side of the rough which was much better. The course was a bit wet and the greens were high since it had been aerated a couple weeks ago.
Worth the Gamble
I happened to find this course prior to driving home to NoVA from WV and it was worth the stopover. Touted as the only Jack Nicklaus Design in Maryland, this course is pretty typical Jack. Carved out of forest and in the mountains there are some ample fairways and others that require precision and course knowledge.
By far the signature is the par 3 sixth hole. Moderate length but plays way downhill with a spectacular view from the tee. Trees in fall foliage are amazing.
Course was in good condition and was an enjoyable round. Front and back nines play differently and almost feel like different courses.
July 4th weekend
Played Saturday and Sunday, July 2 and 3. Great layout, nice variety of holes including some scenic elevated tees. Practice area and range were great. The staff was laid back and very helpful. However, course conditioning needs some work. Tee box positions were beat up, especially on par 3's and didn't appear to be re-positioned between Saturday and Sunday, not sure why. The greens need work; they were punched, slow and bumpy, very disappointed in the fact that they decided to aerate right before a holiday weekend. Also disappointed in the lack of a ranger on the course, took over 5 hours to play on Sunday. This course could easily be a five star experience with some minor tweaks.
Gorgeous Mountain Golf
Golfed over the July 4th weekend and loved the course. The front 9 is mountainous with a few blind tee shots. You'll definitely need some extra balls for this one. The back 9 is more open, but no less beautiful. The course was in good shape however, they punched the greens a few days before. Aerating before a holiday weekend? Not a great idea. Bumpy greens made for some difficult putts.
The staff was very helpful and friendly, and the pro shop was well stocked. The practice area was wonderful! A nice sand bunker as well as a nice chipping area and putting green. Very nice!
Beautiful Course - Beautiful Day
Wrapping up business in Cumberland, I was able to snag a last minute Hot Deal from GolfNow. It was a spectacular late October day in the mountains, sunny with temperatures in the 70's and little wind. The course was in very good condition and the pace of play excellent. Starting at 2:10pm, I had fears about finishing before dark but we rolled in at 5:50 with time to spare. Tough course, rough is thick and penal, and anything that goes into the woods is gone. I lost 6 balls. My play was poor, but it was still a great day.
Mountain Maryland
Rocky Gap Lodge & Resort is an easy drive from Baltimore, Washington, and Pittsburgh. . .the resort entrance is less than 1/4 mile off of Interstate 68 in Allegany County, Maryland.
Most of the front 9 is carved thru the woods. While the fairways are generous, it can be intimidating when there is a rocky cliff to the right of the fairway, and a sharp (as in goat-like) decline to the right.
The back 9 is more open, but still require uphill, downhill, and sidehill shots. One par-3 plays about 2 clubs downhill.
Course conditions are a 4. . .mainly due to circumstances out of the resorts' control. Spring was very wet, summer was nice, September has been very dry. The only other complaint I have is also beyond the control of the resort. . .PLAYERS NOT REPAIRING BALL MARKS AND FILLING IN DIVOTS.
Pace of play is for a weekend foursome. Four to four and 1/2 hours. I have been around during the week in 3 hours.
great hidden gem
My wife and I have made the ride from Pgh 3x this summer to stay and play this course. That should show you how much we like it. Hotel is newer, casino is fun and food tasty.
The course is extremely well maintained. Plenty of tee choices. Front nine is beautiful as it winds thru the mountains. Back is more open. Great golf course which we will continue to enjoy.
