Rock Barn Golf and Spa - Jackson Course

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.

Plush fairways slick green beautifully landscaped and laid out. What a golf course should be!

Everything about this track is solid. Greens were in great shape. Never had to think about bumping the ball in the fairway. Good layout, nice par 3's. Course was packed but moved right along. All staff (pro shop, cart guys, starter, ranger, grill) were all friendly. Played from the blue tees. Yardage is almost 6000 but probably plays closer to 6200. Will definitely go back.

Course is difficult. Alot of placement shots.

I played with 3 members - nice enough guys BUT none of them raked a bunker, filled a divot, fixed a ball mark and ignored the cart signs and parked their carts within feet of the greens. its no wonder the course needs some help when the members don't take care of it. how many times have we heard "its the d**n outside players who don't respect the course"?

Rock Barn is where I wan to retire to. Love playing both courses

The Jackson course at Rock Barn gets overshadowed by the championship Jones course, but it is a good test of golf. The course is fair, but challenging. The par fours and fives are relatively short for the most part, and the par threes can play fairly long for the most part. The drives on the fours and fives have decent landing areas, but a few holes demand some accuracy off the tee. The greens had been aerated a couple of weeks ago, so they were still a little bumpy, but for the most part, rolled true. The yardages are not marked very well, so be prepared to hunt for distances.

They had just air rated the greens but other than that the course was in very good shape.

Interesting course with several water carries and significant elevation changes. Greens always in great shape. Bunkers in good condition. A little expensive for my cheapskate group, but very worthwhile for a change.

The fairway are still brown but very playable, the greens are excellent.

I played on a $25 hot deal on a Wednesday afternoon. You can't find a better course for the money. Even after having a ton of rain over the past few days, it was pretty dry. Rules were cart path only, but I think 90 degrees would have been fine. Greens were receptive, quick, and rolled true.
