Very Enjoyable Day on Golf Course

This was our first effort at Rocky Bayou for our winter visit. Course was in great shape. We were paired with 2 locals and had a great afternoon. Pace of play a little slow but course was very crowded as it was a great weather day. We played the Fort Walton Beach courses for the last 2 days and, while Rocky is a bit more expensive, it was worth it as conditions were very good.
