Having moved out of the area a decade ago this is the first time I've played Rolling Fields in 12 years. New owners and they have been steadily improving it from what I remember. Lengthen some 200 yards and a lot of new tees. Plays like a mountain course, a lot of ups and downs, no flat lies except in the clubhouse. It makes you think about where to aim based on the slope. Greens were in very nice shape, fairly fast with a fair amount of break. If you put the ball where you wanted it will reward a good shot. The views from the highest point on the course are beautiful especially when the leaves change color in the fall. I will be back to play it again.
Would travel: 10-20 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
