Second time playing and lovin the course

Played Rocky Bayou for the second time and I really am impressed! The course is beautiful with a variety of different challenges, uphill shots, downhill shots to elevated greens, over water shots and more. Love the course and looking forward to my next round a Rocky Bayou.

Beautiful bang for your buck course

For the money, this course is awesome. Layout had easy and hard holes. Conditions were good, though the greens were a bit bumpy. 10-13 are the standout holes. Would recommend if you are looking for a good priced golf round.

Very impressed.

My first time playing Rocky Bayou and I will definitely be back. The course was is great shape and tge greens rolled really well. The rain started when I was on hole 13-14 and it poured. The course drains really well and we should have waited for the rain to stop or at least slow down some. I’m looking forward to going back and playing a round when it’s not raining.

A Great Day on the Course

Course is well maintained. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Range balls were included with the round. Bottled water was available on the course. Only downside was the greens were a little slow. Drinks and food at the turn and after the round were excellent. Plan on playing this course again the next time I'm in the area.

Outstanding Course

The fairways were plush and green, with a deeper rough on the edges. The greens were plugged and sanded about a week ago but were true and fair. With another week or 10 days, they will be perfect. Weather was very hot and humid, but it's late July / early August and that is what is to be expected here in the FL Panhandle. Bring a large sweat towel with you and extra golf gloves, you'll need them.

Good but aerated greens

Course was in good shape-except for greens. Had been aerated pretty recently. Would not have been a big deal if I had known beforehand, but GolfNow didn’t say anything about that and no one at the course said anything about it either before we played. Glad I only payed the twilight rate or would not have been happy.

Aeriated Greens

The course, other than the greems was in very good shape. The greens could have been cut and they would have been better. Nice track.

Great course and value

As a local of South Walton, I can say our courses, while very nice, can be expensive. Enter Rocky Bayou. Great course and an excellent value. If you are on vacation here and are looking for an excellent and challenging course that won’t break the bank, you need to try Rocky Bayou. I will definitely return.
