The Rock Golf Club, a Marriott Golf-managed property in Canada’s Muskoka, Ontario, announced that the award winning 18-hole Nick Faldo design will officially re-open on in late May, after undergoing a series of refinements designed to further enhance the playing experience for golfers of all skill levels.

Highlighting the refinement project was the strategic redesign of six holes to feature modified approach shot views and increased landing areas, while eliminating certain blind shots and sloped landing areas. Additional renovations included the expansion of tee areas and widening fairway landing zones, all designed to increase visibility, maximize playability, and improve shot-making opportunities, while still maintaining the integrity of The Rock’s original, challenging layout. The overall project included alterations to 14 total holes, the removal of 16,480 square feet of surface rock, and the reconstruction of all greenside bunkers.
