Pros:
First off, the course is just plain beautiful. The use of landscape and terrain is perfect. There isn't a really easy hole as all of them have at least one PITA obstacle to overcome, but they are still all "fair" holes that will reward good shots. The white tees feel like they are the natural flow of the course - the blues are some extra walking and they are for pros. It also drains very well. The signage is the best you'll ever see, and the variety of tee placements means that almost every skill level is accommodated. There is a lot of elevation change on this course so it is a great workout too. Every time I come here it seems like someone has just recently been by with a leaf blower to clear the fairways, so it is clearly very well maintained.
I agree that it plays best as a 21 hole course, as holes 20-22 (in between holes 7 and 8) are some of the best on the course and you get to see the waterfall.

Cons:
I honestly can't think of anything bad to say about this challenging and fun course.
Other Thoughts:
I wish it was closer. And screw you to everyong that downvoted this review. It is a 5 star course.

Pros:
-Incredible use of natural surroundings and elevation. Best i've ever seen. Makes it that much more enjoyable.
-3 tee options - wonderful for beginners to advanced
-Alternate basket locations (6 holes - 3 front, 3 back)
-Great tee signs
-Bridges and stairs where needed.
-Benches on almost every hole.
-Love the option to play just the front or back individually and finish where you started.
-A superb mix of heizer/anheizer, elevation changes and distance.
UPDATED SEPT 2014
The course has made big changes in the last year.
-tee pads are awesome. all white's, blues and most oranges have tee pads. though the tee pads aren't "concrete" i think it matches the surroundings much better. they're level and large. just what you need.
-alternate baskets are permanent. makes for a great playing option so you can choose what to play.
-fairways are almost perfect. everytime i play they're cleared, well defined and easy to navigate. great clearing work for blue pad lines.

Cons:
-little bit of a trek between some of the holes
Other Thoughts:
Rockness is awesome. It's a very well thought out course. From the individual front/back 9 play to the great mix of heizer/anhezier, elevation, distance and difficulty. One of the prettiest courses you'll play. Blues are rough and I think would challenge most pros. If it's not on your must play list, you're missing out.
