Rock Barn Golf and Spa - Jackson Course

Unfortunately the "Jones" course is no longer availability to the public. Fortunately the "Jackson" course is a great alternative. Though shorter than Jones, it embodies a lot of the qualities of its private partner. The layout is spectacular and the elevation changes dramatic. Fairways, tees and greens all in great shape, with the exception of a couple of greens on the back nine, that looked like they had disease damage. Even these greens were very playable. Staff was friendly and clubhouse and pro shop very good. Pace of play was very good, 4:15. Plus the price on Golf Now was fantastic. This has become one of my favorite courses in the Charlotte area. A little more than hour drive, but worth your time and travel. I strongly recommend this course.

First time playing Rock Barn, we played the Jackson course and it was in very good condition for this time of year. The greens were excellent, rolled true and were very consistent. Looking forward to playing again.

Fairly challenging course. Will be easier the next visit. Wonderfully manicured with excellent greens. Staff makes you feel at home and are very accommodating.

Looking forward to my next round here!!!

Played the Jackson course on a day in the 50's after the bermuda was dormant. Course in good shape and clearly had good grass coverage on the fairways. Wished they were over-seeded with Rye. Greens were FAST! Nearly Tour fast. A couple of greens were showing stress, but most were in good condition. Course knowledge would be very helpful for some tee shots, either for direction or carry required. Played the blue tees and the carries over water on some holes means carry an extra sleeve of balls. Traps had not been raked and the golfers didn't rake them either. 15 is steeply downhill with water at end of fairway. 250 yd. is safe including runout. Hybrid or 3 wood off tee depending on your game.

While there were a few greens that had bad areas due to the weather conditions, the course condition and layout were really good. The friendless of Staff was exceptional. The course is a challenge, (played from Member Tees) it is fair especially if played befor; can't wait to play again!

This is the second time playing his course. It was even better than the first time. The staff was very accommodating and allowing us to tee off an hour earlier. The food is also great in the grill!!

Played this course for several years, this was the worst condition I have seen the greens, with bare spots

Had some time at the end of my work day, so I decided to check this course out before heading up to VA. I am glad I did. Very nice layout and good conditions. It is a little out of the way, but worth the drive. It was certainly a good value on Golf Now. I would recommend playing here if you get the chance.

I enjoy Rock Barn and Jeff Eisenhour always treats you well, play Rock Barn and bring your A game

I called the clubhouse a couple of days before for rate information and was told by the gentleman that rates after 1PM are $45 for the Friday I booked. When I arrived the gentleman working the pro shop charged me $55. When I told him that I was quoted a different amount on the phone he said he was sorry but that was not correct. He didn't really care that I had been quoted a different price. Paid $7 for a token for a bucket of balls. Retrieved the balls and discovered that you literally get a handful of balls for $7...very overpriced. Played the Jackson course and was very disappointed with the condition. Fairways were OK, but the greens were diseased and dead in a lot of areas. The rough was so long that if you hit your ball just a foot off of the fairway the ball would disappear and could not be found. I found more balls that weren't mine than those I lost. Not a good course for the money. I was quoted a price over the phone and I feel like they should have honored the price I was quoted. I would not recommend this course for the money.

I've played the Jones course a few times and now that it has gone private my only option was the Jackson. While not as great as Jones, the Jackson was very good and in great condition all around and a much shorter course. Greens were true but a little slow which is understandable for Bent grass in the summer. The rough was very annoying. Not the thick juicy tall grass but the high fluffy bermuda where the ball just disappears. You literally had to walk right over the ball to find it. Just when I thought I found my ball, it would be another left behind or one cut by the mowers of which I probably found 8. I had 4 tee shots that were just a few feet off the fairway and I couldn't find the ball. Pace was excellent. Teed off at 11:50 Sunday morning as a single and didn't see a group until the 6th green. They wouldn't wave me through so the last 3 holes on the front nine were painfully slow. I jumped them at the turn and played the back in 1hr 15min and didn't see any other players. Glad I made the hour drive from Charlotte.

The course is nice and well maintained and has a difficult layout with a lot of tight fairways and easy to miss greens. I would play it again but the pace of play was way too slow. I left on hole 15 because it was going to be a 5+ hour round and I didn't have time for that with a 30 minute drive back home. They need to get a ranger out there timing people.

This is a class facility and deserves your attendance and best effort. Championship style layout with opportunities for success IF you concentrate and give your situations attention. Didn't finish the round due to an outrageous storm quickly coming through and doing quite a bit of damage. RB should bounce back quickly and I look forward to using my raincheck.

Awesome course, cant beat it.

I would like to extend a warm thank you to the staff, they always put the customer first, and make you feel very welcomed. The course is in excellent shape, and the pace of play was perfect. I would recommend anyone of any caliber or, ability, that they would enjoy everything about this course and its amenities, completely satisfied, and will be back to play!

Wonderful course in great condition - tees, fairways, and greens. People in the pro shop are terrific - friendly and accommodating. Generous fairways, well protected, mostly large greens with a good bit of undulation. Many have more than one level. Receptive and roll true. Good value.

Played this course on Sunday with my typical foursome. Played from the Blue's since the course is on the short side. Had no problems carrying drives across obstacles. The greens were a bit slow because we've had a lot of rain lately, but they were in nice condition. Fairway's and fringes were in excelled condition. A few traps had grass growing in the fringes, but other than that they were fine but a bit packed down due to the recent rain. Overall great course. Will come back in the fall when the leaves are changing for another great round. Get the sirloin burger and a bloody mary at the clubhouse. Everyone in our foursome enjoyed the food.

The first time I ever played the course, i though the greens were the best I've ever played. They ran true and at a descent pace. The past two times I've played, the greens had just be aerated, but in just 10 days they were almost back to their old selves. Love the course and layout, but the price is only right for me during a hot deal.

Played as a twosome and zipped around the front nine in about an hour and 40 minutes. Back nine was a little slower due to the 95° heat, And getting behind a couple of slower foursomes. Course is fun to play with several interesting holes. Course was in good condition overall, although the greens were a bit bumpy due to aeration a few weeks ago. Would recommend, especially if you can get it for less than $50.
