Rocky Bayou Country Club

In Destin for a week of golf, and this is the fourth course we have played. Got a great price (hot deal) on Kelly Plantation, so it was the best course of our trip, but for every day rates Rocky Bayou is the best value course we played.

Greens were fast and smooth, despite their appearance — some looked VERY good, others looked like the greens crew was trying to fix some problems — but all rolled fast and true.

Fairways were in good shape, for this time of year. Some of the rough was a bit thin, but again, not too bad for this time of year — and certainly better than a couple courses we played.

A nice variety of holes — not a lot of water in play, but some actual elevation changes. Some trouble to be found if you get wild, but very playable course. Like most Destin courses we’ve played, traps have NICE sand to play out of — something us northerners would kill for to have back home.

Pace of play was great! Played as a twosome, and several four and fiivesomes let us play through. Finished in about two and a half hours.

A nice day of gol!

Really enjoy this golf course, it is becoming one of my favorites. I have been playing this course for the last 3 years in the winter months and have brought at least 10 friends to this course, all have enjoyed playing here. Will continue playing here !

The course is in quite rough condition. Tee boxes have very little grass and fairways are still in winter condition. Greens are just starting to come around. For the $45 the course is ok,

Very nice course for this time of the year, I’ve played it in better conditions but with not much rain it can be expected to be dry

Enjoyed the course. It was in good shape for the time of year. A couple of holes have blind tee shots and I would have liked to know the distance to the water but overall a nice layout. Bathrooms were provided on both front and back nines at perfect locations to access them from more than one hole. Greens were a bit rough and looked faster than they were. Staff were friendly and the food was fast and delicious. I would recommend this course

Great course for the money. The greens were fast and the fairways in pretty good shape for this time of year.

Unlike Mr Roch review I know the difference between grass and dirt. The greens look great for thos time of year as do the fairways and tee boxes even with dormant grass not dirt like Mr Roch says. He must have played terrible hence the bad review. I played terrible as well but the course itself looks great for this time.of year. I would definitely recommend especially for the value! Some i guess need to realize this part of Florida still has cold months where grass goes dormant, but I assure you there is grass everywhere lol.

We enjoyed our game at this course. It’s a long drive but worth the trip. The course is hilly with water hazards which makes it interesting. The course is a bit dry but they all are since there’s been no rain for a long time.

Good layout but no grass anywhere on the fairways, tee boxes are nothing but packed dirt.

I drove 60 miles to go, never again

We very much enjoyed our repeat visit to Rocky Bayou. Staff very friendly, very interesting layout, challenging but fair. Greens in very good condition, fairways a little thin but that is pretty much what we expect this time of year. Sadly, the weather was very cool and windy, making scoring difficult, but we still enjoyed the day.

Very nice course in very good shape. Some very challenging holes but fair

course is in fair condition. layout is quite interesting with water hazards and hills. greens are very difficult because of rolling layout and are very fast.

We very much enjoyed our day at Rocky Bayou. It is a very interesting layout and in very good condition overall for the time of year.

Pace of play was good and staff were friendly. We’ll be back.

The staff was extremely friendly. The price quoted by GolfNow was $5 less than I was required to pay. The course was a nice layout but not in great shape. Could have been because of all of the recent rain although the day before and the day of play had great weather. Except for the price, I would recommend the course.
