“As soon as you see the course you know why it is named Rolling Green. It is a great rolling piece of land that the architect William Flynn masterly put to its highest purpose. The routing brilliantly uses the hills and valleys to place greens in ideal, often elevated spots, creating challenge throughout. A nearly universal trait of each hole is that every green, spare a couple, are open in front for run up shots. Green complexes are defined by grand slopes not undulations. To my experience the course has a unique ending group of five holes with the pars playing out as: 3-4-3-5-5. Two of the standout holes are 13 and 14. The 13th is a 430 yard par 4 from the back tees with a slight bend to the right. The second shot must cross a valley to an elevated green. Very deceptive visually. The Par 3 14th is stunning playing uphill 215 in actual yards but probably 235 with elevation. It is from this tee box that players walk across the iconic bridge to the green. With the tree clearing that has been done you can see 11 greens from the first tee. This course offers variety and fun and would be hard to surpass as a "members" course."

“Greens are the protection of this course and are the reason the it can be a challenge. While the work opened the property, it still puts importance on hitting the fairway to stop the ball on teh greens."

“Architecture enthusiasts will notice Rolling Green's great bones, the rest will probably only notice the three putts. At the very least it offers a unique golf experience."

“Many elevation changes throughout the course, good condition, large flattish greens, some with false fronts, firm fairways, and routing that appeared to follow the terrain."

“Recent restoration work has brought out the best in this Flynn design. Great "rolling" property where the greens create much of the challenge. Greatly exceeded my expectations."
