Rock Barn Golf and Spa - Jackson Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

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
