The Course
Designed by Dan
Maples, nationally known for creating some of the Carolina's
top courses, Rocky River Golf Club is the premier public
course in the Charlotte metropolitan area. The present
turf conditions are excellent for having just opened in
August 1997, and with continued enhancements the Rocky
River Golf Club at Concord will be one of the finest facilities
in the Carolina's. Rocky River Golf Club is owned by the
City of Concord.
Rocky River is a very challenging golf course that utilizes many
of the existing features of the area to provide a natural and very
aesthetically appealing track. The routing flows through the
existing contours of the land effortlessly, thus creating a
continuous succession of sensational holes. Beautiful rock
outcroppings and various species of native wetland grasses are
featured along the edges of gently rolling fairways adding a touch
of ruggedness and mystique.
Large contoured greens make accurate iron play a necessity,
for a ball played to the side of the green, opposite
the hole, will result in higher scores. Playing the
course from tee to green at a 4 1/2 hour pace of play
is not overly demanding, but again, ball placement is
a must. Errant drives and iron shots that find their
way into any of our natural areas, such as wetlands
and seeded fescue will be lost forever. There are four
sets of tees allowing play to encompass a full range
of opportunities for all who delight in the game. The
course's impeccably manicured tees, greens and fairways
demonstrate the City's commitment to offering superior
conditions to the residents and guests.
Rocky River appeals to all skill levels of golfer from beginners
to scratch. There are four sets of tees allowing play to encompass
a full range of opportunities for all who delight in the game. The
expected pace of play clocks in right at 4 hours 30 minutes, with
starting times scheduled on 10 minute intervals. Below you will
