Getting better

I play this course a few times a year being that I’m a local. Last year it was in really rough shape due to it being run into the ground by the previous owners. Since the Rocco family bought the place back I have noticed a ton of improvements. The Clubhouse has given the pub area a much needed facelift, the tee boxes were re-sodded and the greens are a little bit better(although they still need work). Now the layout. There is a ton of potential for this layout. You have a lot of open holes down in the valley and some narrow ones on the ridge. This place is definitely on the rise and you can see all the work that they are putting in to get this place ready. They even hired a new head groundskeeper. The staff is super friendly as well.

First Time Playing

Only tee time I could get on the first warm and sunny day of they year

The place was mobbed. I teed off 50 minutes after my scheduled time.

The course was extremely wet after the previous day's rain - standing water on many fairways. Early season greens were in poor shape. The pace of play was very slow. It took nearly 3 hours to play the front nine.

Fun atmosphere. Everybody knew everybody. I almost felt like I was crashing a party.

The drink cart was doing a land office business!

I'll try again later in the season when the course is drier and the crowds are smaller.

I went as a single and was paired with three young guys who couldn't have been nicer to an old man.

Needs lots of TLC

Although it's early on the season this golf course has seen better days.
Some fairways are in bad shape with bold spots abd poor drainage.

Zero stars…. Not with the money

I used to play this course all the time when it was Minebrook. Now, the course is in total disrepair with horrible upkeep. They need to mow the grass and blow the leaves. I feel like I was robbed of $60. Unless they do a serious overhaul to this course I wouldn’t play it if it was the only course available.

End of season so I get it

Novice golfer here and played this course last fall as well. Then it was $38 now it’s $60 with new ownership. Not a concern but the conditions were not great
I want to see these folks do well. The fairways were great, the layout and setting fantastic but investment needed asap on tee boxes and greens. Most of not all were super tore up the greens especially rough.
Regular leaf cleaning needed as well
The practice putting green is a good indication of what to expect on the course.

Hope they turn this around as it’s a wonderful spot!!!

Has Potential

Green are coming along, but the fairways are HORRIBLE. They obviously have not kept up with their cutting. Dudes, when it rains like this, grass grows. Getting the fairways down to half inch (rather than 2 1/2 inches) would greatly improve the experience.

Average Course

So this course is pretty average, layout is great. From what I understand the course is under new management and they are putting in a lot of work to improve the greens and fairways. Greens were a little slow but I’ll chalk that up to the morning dew making the course really wet when we first got there. They need to trim the fairways more and do some work on the tee boxes, if that happens this will be a solid home course for me as I’m less than 15 minutes from here. The scenery is beautiful

Not worth it

I thought with new ownership there would be some improvement, I would argue it has gotten worse. Tee boxes are the length of the rough.

Lovely Staff, Course In Repair

I have hope in the personnel to turn this place around, but it’s no where near acceptable yet. I’ve played here multiple times this season and pace of play seems to get worst throughout the year. I quit on the 14th hole because it was that unbearable. Pace of play is 14 minutes per hole, but each tee time is 10 minutes apart. Doesn’t make sense especially with the novice crowd they attract. I would apply to be weekend ranger if they allowed me.

If you’re lucky to get out before any groups, expect to play on sandy and rough green conditions. The practice green pretty much says it all with what you should expect. Also lucky if you get out without the course being flooded and cart path only.

Again, I absolutely love the people who work here, and hate that I’m writing this, but should be for-warned that this course is in desperate repair right now. Best of luck to ownership and know they will turn this place around!

Minasink/Minebrook/ Rock Ridge

I,very played this course numerous times over the last 40 years. Unless the new owners want to keep the wild look this course needs a tree service and brush hog to clean te couse up and try and bring it ack to the old day. Presently no food service available on site.
