Perfect weather

A really fun course. Not too easy, not too hard. More hills than you find at most Florida courses. Not as much water as most Florida courses. Greens were perfect. Fairways and sand traps were very good. I played by myself on a Sunday morning and I was substantially alone. Played at a comfortably fast pace without delays. Perfect. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. I was surprised that its' location was only a short drive from the Bay Bridge.

The course was in very good shape. It was light drizzle raining but not bad. I took a cart, however, walking this course would be fine.

Love the course

I've played almost all of the courses in the panhandle are of Florida, and there are a lot of them, and I like the layout and course conditions at Rocky Bayou more than any.

Fun course

If your looking for something different with rolling hills and some nice scenery then This a great little track. Course provides bottled water for you about every three holes an range balls are included in your greens fees. Good practice facility to warm up your game chip put drive etc only knock would be the club house small and a little expensive for canned beer an snacks.

superb greens

Great course. Pick your tee box and play your game. Played with 2 locals and only 3 putted once due to taking bad advice on the last hole. Complementary range balls and bottled water. Sand is not packed and i was able to get it within 6 feet all 3 times i landed in it. #10 par 4 is reachable with luck and conditions.
