About Rockland Golf Club
Rockland Golf Club dates to 1916, when it opened as Knox County Golf Course with nine holes by an unknown designer. In 1932 Boston architect Wayne Stiles rebuilt the layout, stretching it from roughly 2,400 yards to 3,100. The back nine was added in 1964-65 by Rockland architect Roger Sorrent on land that had been the Bartlett family farm, and the front nine was improved at the same time.
The front nine plays through wooded terrain, while the back nine is open and looks out over Lake Chickawaukie. The first hole offers an ocean view taking in the Rockland breakwater and lighthouse.
