| - I've waited long enough to write my review of this gem! I have been bringing my little girl (6 years old) to the Golf Pro, Craig Johnston, for golf lessons for the past few months. I have to admit that we don't really play golf and I was very intimidated. My girl decided she wanted to learn golf and I'm so glad we found Craig and Rolling Hills. When you drive into the parking lot, there is ample parking with some shade trees which is nice. There is a wide gentle sloping entrance up to the pro-shop on the left and the restaurant to the right. They have golf bag holders and shoe scraper thingies around which is nice. Obviously they rent golf carts and the wheeled golf bag holders which I think is standard for any course. There is a driving range and 18-hole course and some of the holes are very challenging with par 3 & 4's. There are water hazards and sand traps to make things interesting and they change the location of the holes on the greens weekly to keep the regulars playing. The course is well maintained by the grounds keepers and the jack rabbits. You might be lucky to see some of the abundant wildlife here which is nice. There is an ecosystem here behind the zoo and as I understand it, there are interesting changes to come. The restaurant serves standard fare and as of yet I have not eaten here so I can't speak to that. The menu is undergoing a complete overhaul so be aware of that, and I've heard rumors of good steaks and burgers, deep fried pickles and lots of other amazing creations to come. The restaurant is casual and has many comfortable tables and tv's around the bar and large panoramic windows which look out onto the course. As it's hot out now, there's not many people out lounging on the patio, but look for that to start happening when it cools off! I hear there will be some decor changes in the near future which will make it even more comfortable and a great place to spend some time instead of, before or after your golf game. The pro-shop is where you pay and they have all kinds of goodies to look into. They have clothes and golf accessories and as I understand they are going to expand their offerings. The staff are friendly and available to help with any question or concern you might have. The teaching staff are excellent! They have single and group golf lessons. Craig is so patient and kind to my children. My girl's eyes light up when she sees him for her weekly lesson. The stuff she's learned astounds me and he takes it all in stride. One day she decided she wanted to hit all her balls with the putter! Craig said ok, lets do it! She hit every ball from the tee to the fairway with that putter and she learned a very valuable lesson: it's a game and you should always have FUN! I don't think she's going to say Mom, I don't want to play golf anymore because I'm bored or it's not fun anymore. That makes this Mom very happy that my girl has found a positive niche and great role models representing the sport. I am giving this course 4 stars because it's just been taken over by new management and I'm excited to see what's going to happen. I will come back and update when I have some new news to report. So far, I really appreciate what I've seen and am looking forward to continuing my relationship here with this course. FORE!!
