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.

Very Tough but very fair
Great course in awesome shape for December. You hit the ball well, you will score well, but there is trouble if you miss it left or right on many holes. Greens were very fast, but rolled well. Only negative was there wasn't a acrt girl on a very mild Saturday.
The Jones Course is one of the best in the Charlotte area.
I've only played here twice, but it is one of my favorite "tough" courses in the area. It's got some length, some forced carries, but is not overly penal. Greens are pretty ample and roll true. The last time I played here was just after the Championship Tour event in October, and obviously the course was in immaculate condition. I also had my very first hole-in-one that round, #3, 192 yards! The pro shop and dining room staff have always been very friendly and helpful. Overall, it is a great experience and definitely a must-play course.
Beautiful, but greens way to shaggy, needs cutting.
Nice course, nice staff. However Jackson course greens need some help. Lots of better greens in surrounding area for the money. Don't pay more than 20 to play here, not worth it
Fun course in really good condition for December
Enjoyable course in good condition and for the price really good value.
Excellent facility
I play here often so I am little biased. This is one of the best 'public' courses in the area (Verdict Ridge is the other). There are two 18 hole courses: Jones & Jackson (Jones hosts a Senior tour event every year and is more difficult). Both are well maintained year-round and the fess are reasonable. (FYI - the ratings apply to the Jackson side)
The course is always in great shape.
This course is VERY enjoyable by ALL levels of golfers.
Rock Barn (Jackson)
This is what golf is all about to the weekend golfer. Staff is friendly and the course is always is wonderful condition. Took my dad (20 handicap) and he loved it. Would play there every week if I could. A Must Play!!!!
The Jackson course was in great shape . Difficult but very fair if you hit a good shot.
It was a blustery day with temps only getting to the low 50's , but with the course being in such good shape and the staff being so welcoming that our group totaly forgot about the conditions. The starter was very pleasant and helpful. The course was SWEET. Greens just fast enough to keep you on your toes and the rough high and thick enough to make you work off the tee. All in all everyone in my group enjoyed themselves. This round was the last round for one of our guys (he is having knee surgery) for a while so we are all very glad we chose this course to play. Probably going to play this one or the Jones course when he comes back.
This course has a very good layout with some unique holes that make you think befire you hit your shot.
I found this course (the Rock Barn Jackson course) a lot of fun to play with an assortment of different types of holes to play. The course was somewhat short but seemed to play longer than the yardage. It was a hilly course with many great views of many of the holes. Course condition was good and close to pristine.
nice course for the money
Jackson course is player friendly. You can post a decent score from all tees and go home happy, contrary to Jones Championship course where the average golfer goes home frustrated.
Take a lot of guests to Jackson course and they always like it.
Incredible Value!
I love the Jackson course. It is challenging but reasonable. Tees, fairways and greens are always in great shape.
Awesome golf courses.
The Jones course is a little more challenging. The seniors play on The Jones course. The Jackson course is a great course too. You will pleased with the quality of golf here. Both courses are fun to play.
It is always a pleasure to play at Rock Barn.
The Jackson course is well worth the cost. Rock Barn is my favorite place to visit with a friend that's new to the area.
Great staff, friendly, courteous and accommodating.
I usually play the Jackson course and I play the forward tees because I am not long. Even though the course is overly bunkered, I am not a big fan of bunkers - I find the course a
fair and fun layout to play with ample scoring opportunities.
This is my son's favorite course and definitely one of my all time favorites. A great value for the money.
Good value for the price on Golf Now.
I was a little uneasy when I booked at Rock Barn on Golf Now. The last time I had played there about 3 years ago I had found the course staff to be a little rude. I was pleasantly surprised this time . The staff was courteous and left our group feeling like they were glad we were there. The course was in great shape and had a variety of tee areas that made the course playable for all skill levels.
We LOVED it and are planning a return trip
My husband and I stayed Labor Day weekend, taking advantage of the "Stay and Play" package. What a treat! The town home was AMAZING - great price, great accommodations. We golfed 2 rounds on the Jackson course - which was in great shape and perfectly challenging. The Spa is well appointed and offers a great variety of services. We enjoyed a couples massage - AAHHH! This was the PERFECT anniversary getaway for us! We can't wait to go back soon...cheaper than marriage counseling :)
The staff was incredible
What a wonderful staff. From the restuarant to the course , everyone was on top of their game. Great job . Well done
