Rocky Bayou

Overall I really enjoyed my round. I liked the layout of the course rolling through the community. The water views were just beautiful which also made those holes a little challenging. You had to think a little bit before striking your shot. Would definitely play this course again.

Great course

It’s a great course, and wow, we had plenty of time to enjoy it, thanks to one group in front of us and no ranger on the course.

Bang for your Buck

Found the round available through Golf Now for around $40 all-in. Included cart fee’s, range balls, and green fee’s.

Before I tee’d off, it rained for twenty straight minutes. At no point during the round was I worried that the course was too wet. I joined up with a gentleman named Gary who was local to the area and had knowledge of the golf course.

It was a very flat. It’s an “easy on the eye” type of track. Not super long, but yet still required the player to play to the course. I shot my best round of the year there, most likely due to the forgiving nature of the course. You’re rewarded for good shots and your life is not taken for your bad ones. Slow greens, yet firm. I would assume they speed up as the weather warms up. Regardless, I enjoyed the fact that you could attack for birdies and the worry of blowing your putt past the whole was non-existent. I thoroughly enjoyed the day I had up there. It’s a diamond in the rough compared to a lot of the golf in the Destin area. I CANNOT wait to get back there.

Enjoyable

Enjoyed my round. Love that there is a variety of tee boxes. As a female that don’t drive the ball far, I appreciate well planned out tee boxes for we ladies who love the game of golf but don’t have big drives. Will be bringing friends back.
