Course is in great shape

Hadn't played the course in a year or so, and I was very pleased to find it in very good shape! The fairways were plush and well manicured, 2nd cut of rough was present and very playable. No bad lies were had (in the fairways). Greens were quick with lots of movement and nice fringes.

Great value at the beach!

First time playing here while at the beach first week of June. While greens need two more weeks to be close to perfect after aeration a month ago (could be really good), the ball rolled well (10-10.5) and wasn’t affected by any slight indentions. 3-some at 9:37 played in 3 hrs 40 min (booked day before). Perfect balance of challenge and playability for a 6,15 & 26 hdcp (4 total lost balls). You’ll find nicer amenities/facilities/range for $50-$70+ more at some beach courses, but the staff, pace, price, time and enjoyability will definitely bring us back. If you like finding hidden value gems and don’t need perfect country club venues, this is your spot.

Great track

Always seem to play in the Destin area and wanted a chance to play Rocky Bayou. It did not disappoint. It’’s an out of the way gem. It’s an older established course and IMO has the best true greens around. Talked a lot with the Marshall and everyone was above pleasant. BOOK IT!!

Fave Local Course

Ok, we caught it when the greens were just aerated (my bad). But Rocky Bayou is a beautiful course and if I was going to join any course as a member it would definitely be Rocky Bayou.
