Excellent course!!

Well worth the money and the drive from Destin.

Great and challenging lay out but not too difficult. Some holes Has elevation changes and some flat, fairways fairly wide but lined with trees, as long as your not close to the trees you should be fine,rough wasn’t high,the greens were great, rolling nicely, played with a very lovely member couple Ted and Barbara, they were so welcoming and showing me where to hit,local knowledge comes really handy on some of the holes, two walkers and me riding finished in about. 3 hours.We had an early tee time.

I would play again, it’s as good as or even better than expensive courses in Destin.

Good pace, but!

We were a twosome behind someone playing alone and having to wait on most holes because he hit several balls and threw his club when apparently not satisfied with his game.

A fivesome let him play through them let us play through. We did play in under three hours but it was frustrating to watch the ‘gentleman’ ahead of us!

Great as always

This course is always in great shape and is a joy to play. Pace of play is never a problem and you can relax and enjoy your round. Greens were wonderful and the Christmas decorations at each hole were very nice.

Excellent

My first time plying here and I was not disappointed! A couple of slower groups ahead of us was a minor only negative, still played in just over 4 hours. Greens were super fast. Many interesting holes, some with elevation changes and some with water. A good course for golfers of all abilities. Wide fairways are a bonus. I look forward to playing Rocky Bayou again.

Country Club Golf at Public Course Prices

Course was in great shape. The greens were smooth and quick. A great layout with great amenities like range balls, water, divot mix, and great bar/restaurant. We play every time we are in town!
