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 and is owned by the City of Concord.  Managed by the Embassy Suites, Concord it is one of the only courses in the state of North Carolina to offer stay and play packages with a fantastic hotel affiliate.

 

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. Rocky River appeals to all skill levels of golfer from beginners to scratch. 

 

The expected pace of play clocks in right at 4 hours 30 minutes, with starting times scheduled on 10 minute intervals. Below you will find the U.S.G.A. Course and Slope Ratings, the yardage for each hole based on various tee boxes, the pace of play per hole, the handicap, and of course....Par!
