In great shape on 8-3-06.
Tees as good as they’ve ever been.
Fairways really lush (not dried out), and green.
Didn’t have a bad lie all day.
Summer rules are a snap.
A few of the greens had some burnt spots on them.
However, the superintendent did a good job of placing the hole locations.
Sure wish that they would change the flags to solid colors so they could be seen from far away. Those checkered flags without pin sheets are ridiculous.

I played Rocky River Wednesday, August 29 and found the greens in horrible shape. I was shocked! I have always loved the greens at Rocky River. They had large areas with no grass. Some greens had been somehow plowed with cuts running the length of the green. All greens had been punched. The holes were about 50% healed over.

If you love Rocky River because of their consistant nice condition, don’t play it now. You’ll want a refund.

Has anyone played Rocky River recently? Thinking of heading out there next week if the conditions are good. Thanks!

We just played there last week. Course was in good shape and fairways were just starting to green up and grow. Greens were in good shape and held well.

Headed out to Rocky River Golf Club for the first time today. Wasn’t extremely impressed with the course. Looks like it has some wear and tear, which is completely understandable for it being August right now.

The greens were consistent but had a lot of ball marks. The tee boxes were in bad condition. Fairways were fine and the rough was very thick. I hate being in the rough to begin with, and this course’s rough made it that much harder.

I would say this is a “good” course. Not great, but not bad. Definitely a course to check out. It’s right next to Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

I’ll have to get back out there some time. I probably haven’t played Rocky River in six or seven years. Great layout, but I got so sick of the crazy pin positions I started playing elsewhere. It’s a shame to have such big greens and not want to use them.

Played Rocky River this morning (8/23) for the first time. The layout is pretty interesting and there are some great holes. However, the greens are really struggling. Many areas of dead grass and a few holes even have large (5×5 roughly) areas of dirt/mud. Probably a great course … just not right now.

I play Rocky River every couple weeks and the last time was 8/25… it was in good shape with the exception of a few greens having some problems. Usually the greens at RR roll as good as pretty much anything in the area, except maybe the Warrior. Other courses I have played this time of year have also had problems with greens as well, so I’m really not that surprised. Hopefully they will start growing back in before fall and should start rolling well again well before the end of the year.

Hello,

I am going to play Rocky River for fathers day and was wondering if the greens are good. I have heard mixed reviews on them. Has anyone played it lately?

Thanks and Happy fathers day to all the great dad’s and as my dad used to say “TAKE It easy but Take it.”

Rocky River’s greens have vastly improved over the past year there was a stretch for about 2 years when they were very bad. Of late they have gotten better, they are not perfect but are definately getting better.

The fairways that were sprigged with new grass have now been mowed and are OPEN for play. All holes are back to their regular length, except 2 and 6 which being played from the forward tees.
The greens are in GREAT shape and rolling a consistent 10 on the stimpmeter.
Thanks for everyone’s patience as we have restored Rocky River to the condition you have come to expect.

Bermuda grass greens do not tolerate cold weather well. The high temperatures each day don’t matter but the overnight lows are cold enough that they need to cover the greens.
