Description

Set beside Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, Rocky River threads through protected wetlands and Carolina pines with a resort-like feel. The routing mixes risk-reward par 4s with stout long holes, highlighted by the par-5 3rd with a boulder splitting the fairway. Four sets of tees keep it playable, but thick Bermuda rough and water on key approaches demand precision. Renovated greens and a full practice facility make it popular for tune-ups as well as outings. Dan Maples shaped generous visuals off the tee while tucking greens to reward shot-making, so scoring well requires smart angles.

The course was packed with wait times at every tee box. Pace of play is defined by the group in front of you. The marshal repeatedly met our group of women as we came off off the green and told us to speed up, however we could not go any faster because of the group in the front of us. Instead of finding the first group at the beginning of the bottleneck and asking them to pick it up, we were somehow the targets. That's clear bias and discrimination, and unfortunately I now know the management supports this type of behavior, even though they know it's wrong. As a golf professional, this type of treatment of any golfer saddens me. I feel the golf industry has grown and made significant strides in this area, however clearly we still have some work to do. Response to the course's response: Your policy is acceptable and accurate, however the course was jammed pack full and we were already waiting on every hole. There was no need for the marshal to tell us to speed up our pace of play because it was impossible for us to do so. We stated this to him and he could see it as well. As an industry professional, I understand these situations happen, especially on holiday weekends, however staff should be trained to invoke common sense and not repetitively ask a group to do something that they can not possibly do. Unless your intentions are to run them off. When you only target certain groups in these situations, your intentions are very clear. Management can see the tee sheet so they know the volume of players for that day. Their response shows that they support this type of ill behavior, however I sincerely hope they will provide some training to their team to appropriately handle crowded course situations with common sense. I'll continue to work to ensure everyone can enjoy this game.

Course is challenging with nice long and short holes. Price was reasonable and overall course conditions were reasonable. Dry greens where you tapped the ball and it ran 30 feet… next green was well watered and under repair…putting over a 8 foot wide by 30 foot section of sod. Weird, challenging and not really a concern. Carts are decent. GPS that actually shuts off the cart should you inadvertently run into an unauthorized area. At times one could not convince the cart we were on hole 9 and not hole 7. Driving range was acceptable. Only negative is some tee boxes were like hitting out of a sand trap. Clubhouse and pro shop super clean with quick friendly service

My favorite course since moving to the south in 2007. I haven’t had the opportunity to play here in years since moving from the area , so made the opportunity to play and wasn’t disappointed. The course and greens were in great shape. I booked online and got a check in message the morning of tee time. When I arrived, I was greeted by staff at the bag drop off for official check in so didn’t have to go into the clubhouse. The staff was very accommodating and paired me with another single player. The course has many characteristics from holes with water, of course sand traps, awesome doglegs, background of the ZMax Drag Strip, very scenic, and always seeing Blue Herons flying around or just hanging out. My favorite hole is number 3 par 5. Gragg’s rock sits in the middle of the fairway. I have always tried to hit it over the rock and sometimes have been successful, but this time, per the picture posted, came up short. Had a great time and will make it a point to come back again. Thanks to all staff that makes this golf course successful!!

Cart path only, although the course is completely dry. Hotdogs, sandwiches, and snacks are advertised multiple times on the course, but when you actually go into the single wide they don’t have anything but two small bags of chips, crackers, and peanuts. We even called on the 8th hole to make sure they had hotdogs and sandwiches.

Disgrace. The club house has been under repair for (what feels like) a century so they serve only hot dogs & turkey sandwiches out of a make shift trailer home, and then charge $80 for a February round while the course is saturated. This place really was a staple for public golf in CLT & the demand has really gotten to them. Quality down & prices up, but don’t need to change so long as every weekend is fully booked.
