Best course this trip

We have always liked Rocky Bayou. We have played a few other courses since we have been on vacation, and most all of them have had some issues with their greens if not major issues. The greens here were spectacular. They were fast as lightning and have a variety of undulations that can really throw your read off. The fairways were also in very good shape. I hope to play here again.

Always a great course and value.

As a local (Santa Tosa Beach), I rarely go over the Mid Bay Bridge, but when I do it’s to play Rocky Bayou! Tee boxes are very good, fairways are somewhat firm but play well and the greens currently are superb. The course layout is fun but not demanding save for a few holes. If you’re reading this and would like to try a course that’s not in Destin I can assure Rocky Bayou is worth the price and the trip. You will have a fun round on course that is well taken care of.

Fun course with wide fairways.

First time playing this course...it was in good shape...wide fairways...hard to get in trouble.. there are a few holes that require precise drives and are very challenging. I will play again...had a good time. Fun course worth the green fee which was reasonable given the course..

Good Condition and Interesting Layout

This was my first time playing Rocky Bayou CC and it didn’t disappoint. There was a nice range and putting area conveniently located near the first tee. The fairways were excellent surfaces and the ball rolled smoothly on the greens. It was a good value for the area relative to higher priced courses in nearby Destin.
