I like this course

Course has small greens and the ball rolls well. Good course for the price. At one time probably was a great country club.

Small driving range. Has a decent place to eat. Will play this course anytime.

Good for Geese!

We had bought a groupon that was only refundable if the course was closed and despite horrific conditions following two days of torrential rain ,unplayable bunkers, fairways that had Canada geese in ponds! the course remained open. We struggled through 12 holes and quit.
Needless to say the pace of play was great for those holes as we were the only players out. I think the pro shop should gave declared the course closed . Other courses in the area had done so.

Maintenance while playing!!

I stopped playing after 4 holes. First, the maintenance crew drove up to the green as I was putting and started watering. I continued to play until two holes later they were spraying weed eater all around the green and rough as I was approaching. The course is a little rough around the edges and I would never pay full price to golf there.

Fast Greens

The fairways are Bermuda grass and are quite dried out but that could be due to the drought and required less use of water.
The greens are extremely well maintained and very fast.
Overall the course is worth the investment if using a discounted pass. However, I would not pay full price to play.

Great track and solid conditions

This course is very challenging. We play here once a month and it is always in great comdition with very fast tricky greeens. I just want to make one comment about the staff. Absoulutely the friendliest most accomodating crew at any course in the valley. They really are trying hard toi get you to come back and play again and again.

The Midas touch on Midas Ave.

If you haven't played this course, book it now. If you have you know this course becomes your home course. From start to finish this place has respect. The staff rocks. Courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. The food is inexpensive and the beer too. Parking is open and many spots for shade. Opening hole with a par 5 can put you on pace to feel great early. The closing 18th par 3 will fool you too. So many birdie chances that your game can only improve at Rocklin GC. Tis is a gem that doesn't back up much if at all. Rounds are always under 3.5 hours.
Thank you for a beautiful day in the park!

TOO SHORT

We played from the blues and it was just right. The whites may make play a bit faster but take a lot of the challeng out.
Love this course though. Greens were in excellent shape and bunkers are now filed with good sand.
The staff is always Excellent.

lots of sand traps and tricky greens

This is a blue collar golf course. It is not long and the undulations of the fairways makes it interesting. The greens are average but trickily countoured and there are far too many bunkers (sand pits) for the small size of the greens. The driving range is really a joke and the management does not want you to use your driver. There is no food an beverage cart on the course although water and bathrooms are good. The once had a bunch of very friendly young guys at check in but they are not there anymore, why? The Marshalls were once like narcotic cops but now seem to be really more toned down. I think the course is a good deal and fun to play.

Fun

We truly had a wonderful golfing experience at Rocklin. The course was in very good condition and the greens excellent. Water hazards were dry, but what can you expect during a drought.
