Montclair Golf Club at Rock Spring

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.

Beautiful course. Expensive, but worth it. Seth Raynor designed a beauty here. Yes, it's expensive for a public course. Over $100 a round is steep for a weekday round. I would much rather this course be expensive than sold for more housing. Also everything in north Jersey is expensive. That said, the course was in incredibly good shape considering the play it must get. The bunkers, fairways, greens, and tee boxes were borderline pristine. The maintenance crew was out filling divots and blowing leaves and otherwise keeping the course in tip top shape. Pace of play was a little slow but it wa…

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…

I shot my worst round so far this year, a 24 over 95 but at least I enjoyed playing only one of 2 public courses designed by Seth Raynor in the US for a good deal at $35 ($150+ during summer) with a great view of the Manhattan skyline 25 miles away. Par 70 course with only 2 Par 5 holes was a bit challenging with deep fairway bunkers, but better course management is key to avoiding blow ups. I didn't like hole #2, which had a blind first shot with a water hazard on the left in play. Greens were humongous on some holes, but speed was really slow even on downhill putts as there was a signific…

An exceptional round for course architecture enthusiasts, with dramatic Raynor sculpting on full display. Otherworldly green sites that called for some very fun short game shots! I’m thrilled that the course is taken such great care of. It’s a pleasure to walk, as you can soak in the views across the course in every direction.

Two weeks ago, our group (6pp) had played Rock Spring for our 5th time. The course was in great condition as always and it wasn't too slow of a play during our round. We always like to come here as a mid-season play to accommodate our Up State players. The course and operation are always easy and smooth, thanks to Brandon and Ramage, GREAT JOB! Being a regular season player at Rock Spring and regular golfer, it was our first experience to be approached by the course ranger. He advised us our pace of play was slow. We were caught off guard as we thought he came to inform us he spoke to the grou…

An extension of my home and the most beautiful piece of property in Essex County. I have been a member here for many years and RSC has provided me with so many wonderful memories. Its a shame that MGC is selling the course. RSC, you will be greatly missed.

Besides enjoying summer meals often, I celebrated my 85th Birthday here last August 2021, with my good sistah/friends.Food & cocktails were Delicious and our server was fantastic. I loved my personal Birthday Pie.Yummy!! It was lovely on the patio.

A very pleasant and well maintained course. Most importantly, the staff is very nice. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience here. Staff were informative and friendly. Great rolling terrain and Raynor greens. Slightly towards the more expensive side, but this course delivers.

$189 before tax and fees for a MID WEEK single. You’re outta your mind if you think anyone with a brain is paying that. Course is mediocre condition AT BEST with a road running through half of it. Constantly backed up. Zero rangers enforcing pace of play and they have audacity to charge this much. Get lost

This is delayed review from Oct. 24. Made my time online, forget the price, but it wasn't cheap but I had a gift card....I arrived for my tee time and was told the carts would be have to be back by a time that would have meant I'd get to play 14 holes..maybe. It was a full 45 minutes before dusk but they wouldn't budge. Clearly they weren't going to pay anyone to stick around until all the carts were back. This is the must absurd idea for a course that sees themselves as a premier golfing destination, or at least charges like they think it is. They had no problem telling me that was the way i…
