My first experience with Rock Spring couldn't have been any better. It's a beautiful course from start to finish, meticulously maintained, with challenging but fun holes and greens. My group included two seniors, a player struggling with his game and a more-advance golfer and we all agreed it was a special place to play. Check-in at the clubhouse was quick and easy, the starter was super helpful explaining the ins and outs of the course and once I got out on the course I was taken by the gorgeous scenery. Next time, I'll be taking some photos. And there will be many next times.

Rock Spring is a true gem, and I’m so glad it’s now open to the public. Seth Raynor’s design rewards precision and punishes mistakes in all the right ways. The tee boxes are among the best in the area—flat, clean, and thoughtfully placed. The bunkers are deep and fluffy, demanding a plan and solid execution if you find them. New Jersey is lucky to have a classic design like this open to everyone.

The course well maintained and in very good condition. Prices are on the higher side for being public, but that is the price for a well-maintained course without overly packed tee times. When we went, we were told there was no practice range to warm up, which is not ideal, but the other benefits make it worth going to regardless.
Don't forget that if you visit the 19th hole afterwards, the price of your 1st draft beer is 1cent for each stroke on your scorecard, so for most people you'll be paying somewhere around $1 for your 1st draft beer. For me, this also helped make the price of the greens fee here worthwhile.
