Rocky River Golf Club at Concord

About
Rocky River Golf Club was carefully carved from lush, rolling hills and natural wetlands with the intent of preserving the beautiful terrain as much as possible. The course flows across the dramatic natural contours of the land, providing holes with plenty of elevation changes. Running alongside the rolling fairways are winding ribbons of native wetland grasses that weave through rocky outcroppings. Golfers shouldn't be surprised if they come across some of the wildlife that inhabits the course, which includes cranes, deer, and beavers. In addition to the stunning scenery, the golf course offers a challenging round. The large, contoured greens demand accurate iron play. Errant shots will find their way to the wetland areas or the patches of seeded fescue. In addition to the golf course, Rocky River offers a driving range with four target greens as well as a putting and chipping green.

GREAT condition
Best greens in Charlotte at this time of year (since they're bermuda and most other public courses are bent grass). These greens were even better than most of the private courses I recently played. The greens and a great layout (with NO HOUSES) makes this one an enjoyable place to play..highly recommended.
Getting ready for spring golf
Rocky River is a very good golf experience all around, and getting better.
Right now they're working on improving the clubhouse, a weakness I pointed out in an earlier review.
The electric carts are great, the pro shop is well-stocked with merchandise with competitive prices (March Sale on now), and all the staff is friendly and helpful.
The course itself is in very good shape too. Of course the grass in the fairways is still dormant but it doesn't effect your game. The greens putt pretty true and they're greening up and mowed. The sandtraps are all filled with clean white sand, so it's your fault if you don't get out (now if only golfers would rake!).
If you haven't played Rocky River, you're missing out on a great golf experience.
First Time, But Not My Last
As expected, the fairways were still in their dormant phase, but the greens were in really good shape. From the guy at the front desk to the tee time official outside, the staff was very polite and courteous. The range area is well maintained, but has no rubber tees. The putting practice area was in great shape as well. The carts are updated to include geo-tracking with yardage indicators. I think coming back in summer will give me a better sense of play, Overall, an enjoyable day of golf with some new friends I met.
First time playing here
Really enjoyed the layout of the course. Greens were in excellent shape except for 1 or 2. Would really like to come back early fall and play again.
Nice layout with good variety
Played this as a change of pace this winter. Conditions were fine for winter golf. Pace of play was pretty good for a public course. Cost was a little high but not ridiculous.
Poor customer service
I have played this course many times. I was very disappointed with the poor customer service I experienced yesterday.
The young men were not helpful, instructing me to “go ahead and load my bag on the cart “. Very poor level of service. In the past, I was greeted in a welcoming fashion, my bag was loaded and unloaded, clubs wiped down.
Additionally, we sat patiently waiting for guidance as to when we could start play. When I inquired, I was told that “no one’s on the tee box, I guess you can go”. This was 2 minutes prior to tee time.
Suggestion-your team seems to be retrained in customer service.
Great Day at Rocky River
Took a Monday off and went to Rocky River. Perfect day on the course. Through the cold and rain in the days leading up, the course was in amazing condition. Greens were true and fairly fast. Fairways nicely cut and rough was reasonable. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. 5 star!!
Course was great has a nice driving range, great layout, greens were in great shape and so we’re the fairways. Had a couple guys hit into us on purpose but that’s not the courses fault lol. 10/10 would recommend playing here
Still good after a rain
Had. couple of days of rain and cold: course dried out well: a few slushy spots but all in all excellent. Club nicely moved the tee boxes up to accomadate the conditions. Played with a friendly group and they almost kept the pace. Great walking rate and decent warm up. Green in great condition.
Fun course
First time playing here and had a good time. The greens were surprisingly challenging to me. Cool rock features even in the fairway.
Great. Course fun to play
Very nice layout. Hard to get on at peak times but the course itself is fantastic! No houses!
Great course for mid handicappers
Love the course layout, a mix of easy/difficult holes. The greens are in great shape and it will test your short game. Only few tee boxes were out of shape, fairways and greens are in great shape. Driving range was disappointing, irons only which makes it difficult to feel confident on hole 1. Overall enjoyed my time, will definitely return .
