Outstanding course and experience

Had originally booked at one of the big names in Destin. Was concerned about the weather and cancelled. Was looking for possibilities and Rocky Bayou had a lot of positive comments. Went ahead and booked and it turned out to be one of the best places I've played in this area. Course is outstanding from tee to green. Very challenging yet very fair. Found out the course recently hosted a US Open qualifier. There are some amazing holes on this tract. Greens were pure and rolled extremely well. Local pros regular this place. Course is an absolute steal at current rates and am so glad I took a chance.

Has it where it counts

No frills but pleasantly surprised by the quality of the greens, and subtlety of the layout. Greens were much better than the expensive sandestin resort courses which I played earlier in the week.

Hidden gem of Miramar beach

Just an insanely awesome course. The bang for buck is crazy. Was a US open qualifier about a month and a half ago, and it lives up to the hype. You will not be disappointed with the course layout and conditions. Just make the tee time, and get to the course. You’ll thank yourself after the round for coming here rather than anywhere else.
