Rocky Spring is a fun little 9 hole course located on the Letterkenny Army Depot. It was orginionally built for the military folk, but has opened to the public in the last 7 or 8 years.

They do their best to make the 9 holes as enjoyable as possible, and have been doing what they can to add to the course. It is as wide open as a course could ever be and is a great place to learn and work on your game. That said, it is not a gimmie, although for a good golfer it can be a scoring delight. When the staff let's the rough grow out, it can be very fair and will punish you for bad shots.

The round is highlighted by a couple nice holes, including #2 which is a VERY short par 4 (about 285 yards). For years this has been a launching pad for people trying to drive the green. Last season, a small pond was installed in front of the green, which adds to the fun. Reaching in 1 has been reduced to tricky shots and luck.

The staff also does a good job to make the holes as different as possible from the front 9 to the back 9, featureing a couple holes with different tee boxes that completely change the holes. Number 5/13 even changes from a par 4, to a smooth downhill par 5.

I certainly couldn't recommend a trip to Chambersburg to play Rocky Spring, and you could find much prettier golf destinations even locally- but it's worth the round if you're there or learning the game. They do a good job with what they have to work with- and they are showing efforts to improve it.
