Fast greens, Slow play

Hit off grass on the range. Big fast practice green. Weird very sloped chipping area with bunker. Tee boxes a little beat up. Good fairways. Super fast big greens. Several challenging holes. Nice layout that keeps your interest. Slow pace of play is always likely here. Played here half a dozen times and have always enjoyed it.

Loved the layout of the course. It has many good, challenging holes. We played with a couple and had a great time. We will go again when we’re back in the area. Shot 76 with 3-3 putts.

Great Value

Course in Great condition. Greens are smooth and pretty fast. Chipping around them can be difficult if you short side yourself. Fairways and tee boxes are nice. Plenty of driving range space and large putting green. The fairways are tree lined, so you have to hit it straight or be prepared to punch out. I prefer the shot making rather than hitting it into wide open fairways all day.. I recommend this place as to paying $100+ in Destin.

Excellent value for the area

Played here first time. Visit area often and found the course on GolfNow. Great value. Friendly shop. Didn’t get any food or drinks so can’t review them. Greens excellent condition end of April. Fairways very good. Bunkers and rough fine. Played blue white mix tees about 6100 yds.

You will enjoy.

Vacation golf

To get a member for a day tee time at a semi private club and for the price on golf now was unbelievable. We played Emerald cove previous and paid double the price of what we payed at Rocky Bayou!! The course is beautifully laid out and challenging. Plenty of picturesque holes and the man at the pro desk couldn’t have been nicer. Was teamed up with a gentleman who has played the course many times which helped out tremendously. Greens were true Would def play there again if I’m back in the Destin Area.

Member for a day

So got a golf now deal Member for a day$60. Beautifully laid out course. They set you up with 3 straight toward holes. Then the course gives you the challenge your looking for. Greens were immaculate. Fairways in very good condition and tee boxes were in great condition. If I’m ever back down in the Destin area, I would definitely play here again!!

Hidden gem

We have been coming to Destin for 20 plus years and had never played rocky bayou

Great layout wonderful greens and nice fairways

Lots of elevation changes throughout

It’s a great course for the cost

I highly recommend playing the Bayou if you are in The Destin area
