I love Rock Manor. Although they just aerated their greens and some fairways are in bad shape, overall it is nice. We have had a really hot summer so they can't be blamed entirely. The rough is in very good condition.
I played here in July and the course was in much better condition.
I really like this course. It gives you a links style feel without being a links course. Bunkers are in great shape. The greens have a lot of ball marks which should be fixed by golfers. Too many people are not fixing ball marks. But this is on all courses.
Great amenities with a range, chipping and putting green. Nice staff and carts have GPS which are very accurate.
You can tell that they are putting money into the course. The cart path alone is the best anywhere.
I will play this course many times and would recommend to others.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level
Layout, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Pace of Play
