+ Very visual tee signs with par and distance. A few descriptive sentences at the bottom of each sign offer a bit of extra detail.
+ The bright green baskets pop and catch the player's eye. I've never seen Prodigy brand baskets before. They have a curious web of angled lattice inner chains, which I am guessing helps to cut down on spill-outs.
+ Elevation challenges galore. Massive uphills and stunning downhills await you.
+ The tee pads are long, level and sturdy turf platforms often on top of raised wooden structures.
+ The course feels like an invigorating nature walk and/or hearty hike all throughout. Wear sturdy footwear.
+ There is 'next tee tape' on the baskets and arrows aplenty to guide players to the next holes. I never got lost here.
+ Dense wooded golf forces players to focus on accuracy.

- The course has its players cross roads more often than I would like, but they are secondary and tertiary roads with a slow speed limit. Still, it is a safety concern.
- The nature walk I mentioned earlier can be potentially treacherous if one isn't watching where they're walking. Injury is a real possibility here.
- Lost disc potential is theoretically high here, too. The many hills can result in tragic endless roll-aways, and there might be a lot of overgrowth in the rough areas. I played in late winter - early spring, so I can't say for sure.
- Not many places to wind up and explode with full power.
- I don't remember seeing any trash cans. Bring a plastic shopping bag with you or something. Please don't litter!

My favorite hole here is definitely 6. As soon as I saw it, my jaw dropped. An involuntary, "Whoa!" escaped my mouth. For hundreds of feet in front of you the land drops off steeply and slants sharply down to the right before climbing again to reach the basket. I was in awe of that show-stopper and felt a little nervous about playing it!
My least favorite hole is definitely 18. A road directly to the left and a river directly to the right made for a rather constricted-feeling fairway. I hate throwing that close to a road in the first place, and I frowned at the thought of one of my throws deflecting off one of the trees and into the water below.

As for the course as a whole, Rockwell is a shining example of what woods and elevation can do in tandem.

Each hole is utterly unique with different degrees of elevation and densities of forest within left, right and straight fairways. Never once will the player get the feeling that they've "just played this one." Variety is normally tough to pull off in a course that is mostly wooded, but Rockwell has very many other natural features working in its favor to set itself apart from most other wooded courses I've played such as a little pond to throw above at hole 12, a cliff to tee from at hole 17, and one of the steepest uphill climbs I've ever encountered at hole 7.

On the downside, there is only one tee pad and pin per hole, so any new players who want to get in on the action will not have as much fun due to some of the grueling combinations of distance, elevation and trees. As a result, I think more experienced players will get more enjoyment at this course. And among them, power players will feel a bit constricted here. So, it is definitely geared more towards golfers who enjoy tree dodging and deliberate placement. I enjoyed it, but I acknowledge that the lack of more open holes will cause the course to seem monotonous to those who prefer a balanced course.

The course has a lot of natural beauty, though. It feels like a forest especially made for disc golf. I enjoyed the walks between holes. That downhill hike between 10 and 11 is fun. And between holes 14 and 15, I witnessed the rare and awesome sight of a massive limb loudly snapping off a tree and smashing violently into the river water below.

In closing, I give Rockwell a strong recommendation. I'll admit that it isn't the most accessible course to brand new players and golfers who are unsteady on their feet. The elevation alone really is something to be wary of. To some, the course might feel tedious. To others, it might feel unfair. Come here only if you are eager for a true challenge of hills in the forest. I promise you'll get your fill. Go throw at Rockwell!

-Nice Turf tee pads
- Great course signs
- Nice baskets
- The scenery and park is amazing from streams and valleys to cool rock outcrops.
-mix of elevation from throwing up hill to throwing down hill
-woods are not to thick and feel forgiving

Shots are mixed from some holes i felt good about griping it and ripping it on to other holes where you feel your playing a placement shot. good mix of back hand and forehand shots. course plays well to those that like overhand shots for getting off the tee and out of trouble.

- put on your hiking shoes this course is very hilly and has stumps and rocks sticking out everywhere.
-be prepared to look for your disc on the longer par 4 holes as the valleys have a decent amount of growth in it.
- only one flat grass hole number 18, the rest of the course plays on a hill side/ mountain with lots of elevation, streams, rocks and stumps.
- Bring bug spray as they were bad when i was here.

-fairways could use a little more clean up but this course is amazing.
-someone had a dream and some $$$$ and it shows. The tee pads are amazing with elevated tee pads on lumber with turf. makes a very nice run up surface.
- Baskets are pro prodigy lots of chain, will kick out soft putts, catch hard putts.
- The island hole number 17 is worth the stop to this course alone. From the elevated tee pad with turf to the island green boxed in with lumber and turf all on the green. Its a short down hill throw (200ft) but just looks so cool when you go through the woods and come up to find that.
- I love traveling the country playing courses i come across and this one will always be remembered!

Great addition to the area. Really pretty course, feels like a good hike where you get to throw a disc. Lots of elevation changes... not too tough to walk, but maybe not possible for a cart/stroller. Some really long holes (#6, 11, 18), some short but unique and challenging (#4, 12, 17). Indeed, some of these are some of my favorites in CT.
- Nice tees and baskets.

Few holes that are wide open, if that is what you are looking for.

Great course!
