Roseville Rolling Greens a challenging 1500 yard executive par 3 course with luxury homes and undeveloped land with trees a stream and wild life on either side of the course.
On #3 the canopy of a large oak tree leans into the fairway on the left with part of a small lake on the right while two sand bunkers guard the greens on either side in the front.
Number 4 is 130 yards up hill with a bunker on the right 20 yards from the green and one on the left 2 feet from the green with the lake featured at #3 10 yards off the back of the greens.
There is a stream running through #5 at about 140 yards and #7 at about 100 yards. Number 7 presents with the rest of the lake featured on #3 and #4.
Numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are up hill. Long hitters can leave their drivers in the bag and give their irons a workout. The straight 180 yard first hole belies what lies ahead. This is not a forgiving course but is a good challenge for golfers at every skill level. Conquering this course will prepare you for what lies ahead on the bigger courses in the area. Playing time between 1 hour 45 min and 2 hours.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
