Rock Barn Golf and Spa - Jackson Course
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.

Great Place to Play even in January
It was a cool, breezy day but the Jackson Course at Rock Barn was great! Can't wait to play there again in the spring when it greens up!
Loved Rock Barn!
This was my first trip to Rock Barn and I'll definitely be back. It was cold; they held up play until 11am for the temps to rise above freezing. The ground was frozen in many places, but that didn't affect play that much. The Jackson course is very playable for a higher handicap golfer like myself. There are lots of elevation changes to deal with, and some water hazards too, but most of those are easily avoided. The greens are large and the bunkers have plenty of sand in them. The pro shop staff and grill are top notch. I will definitely be back to play the Jackson course in warmer conditions and will also try the Jones course as well.
good course for all levels of golfers
Weather was good and greens were in great shape but were a little fast [good thing] always enjoy this golf course highly recommend for everyone
Jackson Golf Course
Great Day on Course, Cold and Cloudy, Damp. Weather was terrible, course in great conditions, Fast Greens for Winter.
beautiful course layout
every hole is a well designed by itself as well as its challenge . It is a good course to bring a good friend or a good golf body.
Great course
Great day, great course, great price if i only was a better golfer.
Sweeeeeet
Have played on jones course many times. But was our first time here on Jackson course. Very pleasantly surprised. The holes they played on the combo course from the senior event from the previous week were an extra special treat. The course on the whole was in great shape. We never saw another group and the facilities are worthy of 2x the price. Play here! You will enjoy yourself!
always enjoy playing here
Played the blended 18 hole and liked it. I have played all of both courses and while i didnt get to play some of the better holes, the course was in good shape and the blended hole were very playable.
Jackson Course at Rock Barn
Course was in good shape. The greens are faster
than they have been in a few months, good putting
surface. We played as a twosome and finished in
three hours.
Ready to see the Champions Tour here in about
a week !
Top 10 in the Area
Spent the afternoon with my dad & brothers out here and was not disappointed. Facilities were in great shape (the practice range COULD be better...but not a huge deal). Course lived up to expectations. Fairways were plush and well cared-for. Greens were in great shape and rolled true. Some ongoing construction around the course, but anyone that lives in the Charlotte-area would be used to this. You will get what you pay for here, if you time it right you can find some great deals.
jacksoncourse
First time playing and great facilities all over but you guys communications were broken because both courses were aerated as recent as4days ago!never said anything at your web site!thinking I should get a credit because of the lack of communication!
Rock Barn CC
Of the two courses the Jones course is the best. The course was doing maintenance so we played 9 holes on the Jones and then 9 on the Jackson course. The staff was on top of everything when we arrived and got us off earlier than our tee time. Definitely want to go back and play the Jones course when not being worked on. Overall was a very good time.
would love to play it again
A great golfing experience with a friendly and accommodating staff. The only hitch was that golfnow's website had tee times starting at 6am when the club's earliest starting time is 730. I had a tee time for 722 which was not a problem.
Nice Round
Great Staff, course was in good shape for August.
Greens were fast but not too fast. Very little waiting on course.
good day of golf
the course was in good shape. The greens were rolling pretty fast but fair.
Well Worth It
Chose Rock Barn for a Friday round and was not disappointed. Course was in fantastic shape and the weather could not be more perfect. Played the Jones course and it lived up to its reputation. Greens rolled super-true. There were a few instances of ongoing construction throughout the course but for the most part everything was quiet. Would have liked for the course to be a little more well-marked (had a rangefinder so this is negligible). Overall a great day. Will definitely have to come back and play here again.
Best Course I've ever played
There is no question as to why the PGA chooses to host a Senior Tour event here. The greens are immaculate and there is not a blade of grass out of place. The course demands every club in the bag and precise placement of your tee shots to set up multiple shots over water. Do not leave any shot or putt short.
golf
Great course to play. Fairways are nice greens are great and fast all around a great course.
Great day at Rock Barn
