The executive-length Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills (formerly known as Rolling Hills Golf Course) provides an excellent game and it is a very player-friendly course. True to its name, the course is quite hilly causing a few elevation changes and undulating greens. The fairways are lined with pretty trees, adding some challenge and beauty to the course. There are no water hazards but there are a few strategically placed bunkers to worry about as well as some out-of-bounds stakes bordering a few of the holes. Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills consists of ten par 3s and eight par 4s. On the premises there are also practice facilities, a pro shop, and an on-site golf pro.

Active construction site

I played this course often on for more than 30 years. In fact, we hosted a bachelor party golf tournament there will before I get married
The green boxes are in fine shape. Everything else about the courses torn up due to construction. Everything around the shop that is under construction and there’s no indication of that when you book your teetimes The pictures and all of the advertisements on their website are not accurate for the current condition. The photos of the people gathering at a party type of atmosphere are stock photos, and are not what this course currently looks like. I’m super excited to see the post renovation, but there should be a disclaimer that these photos are what the future will look like.

Used to be a great muni

Sad that more muni’s are going away. It’s essentially the same golf course, just with flashy marketing, blasting country music, and double the price. Who wanted this ?
Please for god sakes, leave the Ken McDonald course as it is.

Night Golf is super cool

Had an incredible time playing night golf at Grass Clippings. It’s a par 3 course so it’s a bit pricey. People complain about dead fairways, but you shouldn’t be in the fairway on a par 3 course. Greens were amazing. Tee boxes were okay. It’ll only get better.

Also props to ownership for holding some amazing events and getting top YouTubers there.

Talk about course improvements

They really have done a great job with this course. The greens are fantastic. Plan on lots of three putts. Playing at night is something to experience. All of the staff is great. My only issue is while using 18birdies it get a bit wonky between day tee times and night. Don't hesitate... Just book it. You won't have any regrets.

Grass clipping @ Rolling Hills

Great redesign of the old rolling hills. 18 par 3’s that are in tremendous condition, possible the toughest/best greens I have ever played on. Pro shop and staff was extremely friendly. Played in 3 hours not having to wait on a single hole. A bit pricy and $91 after tax but was well worth it to play at night under the lights. The range needs a bit of work, you can tell they are reseeding it. Other than that no complaints. Would definitely play again in the future.

Slow Pace of Play

I’ve played this course since it was rolling hills and always enjoyed it. However, the pace of play has been horrible the last couple of times playing. Idk if they need to stretch out tee times or have a Marshall on the course ensuring pace of play is good. It doesn’t make for a fun day of golf when you’re sitting on EVERY tee box for 10-15 mins waiting on the group/groups in front of you. Will wait to go back until I hear pace of play is better.

Changes at Rolling Hills

Hitting off mats on the front nine is not my favorite.
Losing the two par fours on the front nine also not my favorite.
They did make number nine a beautiful hole though.
Was hoping number seven was going to get a revision, nope.
Golf carts need serious attention, seat cushions torn biggest problem.
Always liked the back nine, still do.
Seems to have lost a little bit of the sweet neighborhood feel and more changes on the way.
Night golf is going to be the big draw, particularly in the warmer months, very cool idea.
Love the views and always enjoy playing there.

Good Time

Short and fun track! Mostly par 3’’s with a couple par 4’s You better be on your game because the “rolling hills” can be deceiving!! The greens and tee boxes are in great shape! I think they’ve recently done a redesign and construction. Excited to see what it’s like when it’s done!! The lights are very cool as well! They are bright and make the course very playable even after sunset!! I would play again!

Par 3 Haven

This is the 2nd time that I have played the course. It is a fun course with plenty of challenges with the hills but very little sand. There is still a great deal of the course that lacks turf in the rough. On the 10th hole, my GPS said 260 yards but the hole was closer to 170 yards. All the other distances were good. I wish we were allowed to drive the carts to the range prior to play. That is an annoyance. Can’t wait to get back there!
