About

Rock Barn Golf & Spa offers two championship courses, one designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and the other by Tom Jackson. Nestled within the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the golf courses are provided with swiftly moving brooks and sparkling lakes that accent the wooded hills and lush, grassy meadows. The Jackson Course tumbles across picturesque valleys, offering both dramatic elevation changes and beautiful scenery. The layout is shorter and less demanding than the Jones Course but it is a challenge nonetheless. The undulating terrain demands accuracy and perfect ball placement. Fast greens are balanced by generous fairways. Water hazards also come into play. The course starts out intimidatingly with a narrow, uphill par 5 but the rest of the course is not quite as daunting.

Excellence!

Rock barn has really put the work in on the Jackson course and it shows! The fairways are absolutely beautiful, Greens roll very true/consistent with just enough challenge to keep you coming back, also I love the newer fancy carts too. Great practice/warm up area and the bar and grill across from the pro-shop is a great spot for a cold beer and delicious eats (Thanks to Fresh-Chef) before or after a great round of golf. Friendly staff helps with anything you could need. Been playing here 1-2 times a week and will continue to do so!

Pleasant surprise

I have played the Jackson course many times and today it was in the best shape that I have ever seen! We saved $13 + tax by booking through GolfNow and right now you cannot find a better value. Totally impressed!

Great Day

As a player from Florida we enjoyed the elevation changes and the bent greens were fabulous. We will play here again!

Well maintained course

Fairways and roughs were in good condition. Greens held the approach shot, putted true, were medium speed. Sand traps were in good condition.

A Fun Challenging Day at Rock Barn

Jackson Course is a challenging layout with a good amount of water and sand traps. Course was in excellent shape except for the tee boxes which were a little ragged. Played a bit short from the White Tees so I will probably try Blue next time. Greens were reasonably quick considering the they had been aerated the week before. Staff was very nice and the facility is a beautiful country club atmosphere for a reasonable fee. I had heard very good thing about Rock Barn and I was not disappointed. Had a neighbor chasing his dog across 1 fairway but within 2 minutes a friendly ranger helped them off the course!! Very attentive Staff. I will be back!!

Punched greens

A truly fun track with great aesthetics. Five delightful par 3’s. Not easy but fun . Thus trip they had recently punched the greens, so they were a bit slow and bumpy.
