Awesome Layout

A spectacular course. Everything is in excellent shape. The rough is fair, not to hard to hit out of, but that is my problem for not hitting in the fairway.

This course is one of my local favorites. A couple of tricky holes, but it makes you think and use all the clubs in your bag.

Magnificent Greens

Course is in excellent condition. The greens are very fast and have a lot of undulation. If you can, leave your approach shots below the hole. Otherwise, you will have a very fast side hill slider. The fairways are also in excellent condition.

Celebrating Birthday Round

Our first time playing Rocky Bayou Course. My wife and I were paired with Mike and James. It was a very pleasant experience. We play enjoying the course not keeping score. We learned at a course that was strict about pace so keeping up is important to us. Fortunately, Rocky Bayou was not crowded yesterday.

The greens were very well maintained and quite difficult for me. Bottled water was available around the course. The practice areas were nice with practice balls available without additional cost.

We will go back.

A Hidden Gem

The pro shop with limited stock is a separate building from the clubhouse. We particularly enjoyed the course layout with elevation changes, water hazards and true rolling greens. Pace of play was outstanding. A group of ladies ahead of our twosome willingly let us play through. Felt alone on the course afterwards. Well worth the trip over the causeway to the Niceville area.

Great value through GolfNow.
