Love Rocky

Play Rocky bayou whenever we come down to the condo in Destin two times a year, most times. It’s an excellent course and although the greens were sanded this time because of the aeration course was an overall pretty good shape – staff is always awesome.

Good course. Needs water.

It has been a dry week or so in the area and the grass is showing it. Some tee boxes were completely brown but greens were better.

Hot day on the links

I enjoyed the course, and it was in good shape, however as others have noted if you stray from the fairway the grass is high, and it is difficult to find your ball.

Beautiful day but as can be expected in August the temperature made it a tough round.

Not bad for the price.

Fairways were extremely dry. Some tee boxes needed help as well. PCD of play was not managed well. Had an 5-som in front of us. Overall, fun for the cost.

Course is looking good!

Overall I give the course a 7 out of 10. The greens have recovered well from being aerated and rolling great. Still need some work on a couple tee boxes and the grass off the fairway is way too high making it almost impossible to find your ball a few feet off the fairway and some of the greens. I know we’ve had a lot of rain but this course drains extremely well so the rain doesn’t keep them from cutting that badly overgrown grass.

Great Conditions

This course is in great shape all around from the tee boxes to the greens. With the hot deal, this has to be the best value for the quality of the course in this area. Without the hot deal, it’s still worth the price tag. Well worth the drive to play.

Good bang for your buck

Got a good deal on GolfNow and gotta say it was a great course. Good practice facilities with good bar and great spot to play if you’re a local or on vacation. My dad, brother in law and I are from Arkansas and all had the same opinion. Greens are undulated but not too fast so makes a fun challenge, mostly driver friendly from the tee. Overall great experience.
