I spoke to the director of golf and PGA pro out at Rocky River. He acknowledged that they have 3 problem greens right now (#4, #10 and #16) with bad spots and will be re-sodding them soon. He expects they will be back in shape by mid-September. The problems started with flooding last year that required re-sodding and the new sod contained nematode worms that damaged the roots.

I’m interested to read other opinions on the current state of the course. The pro felt that the other 15 greens were very good and rolling well and he said they’ve kept the pins on the other 3 holes away from the bad spots. So it should still play fine.

I haven’t been out to Rocky River in a while but I enjoy the layout and would like to get out there again. Let me know if you’ve played recently.
