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.

Good Value

Course is definitely worth the drive from Destin if you are looking for something that is a lot cheaper than the resort courses. A number of memorable holes.

Great course, but……

The rude fivesome that obviously thinks they own the place (assuming they are members of the local men’s golf association) need to learn some etiquette. Had one blast past me on the blue tees at 10 to go sit by the senior tees and wait…in my way! Other than that the place was great.

This course was in good shape, but no beverage cart and limited choices at bar. Still play this course it’s a great value. And it’s a great challenge from the two back tees

Pleasantly Surprised

Didn’t know what to expect, third course played this week, and it’s the best so far in the price range! Range balls provided in cost and range/practice area was nice. Course was in great shape, great fairways, greens rolled well and we’re quick. Good layout with plenty of water and challenging holes. Plenty tee box options to fit your level of play.
