The course is rated 69.3 and offers 4 sets of tees, suitable for every golfer’s skill level, with a slope of 131 from the white tees.

The Rock’s signature hole is the par 3 #15. The hole is 166 yards from the Gold, 131 Blue, 119 White, and 94 Red. The hole sets you up on the tee, which is surrounded by wetlands having the green nestled beyond a large pond. The Rock also offers a large driving range with grass tees and a practice putting green with a large bunker.

“Island greens. Long tree-lined fairways. Dog-legs left. Dog-legs right. Abundant wildlife - deer that actually come into play on some holes. The people who love this course play to all levels. They like The Rock because it's an experience, not just a round of golf.”
