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 Course!

Really just a great course overall. Not particularly hard from a distance standpoint. Quite a short course but extremely fun. Bunkers littered everywhere so have to be pinpoint on your drives and iron shots. Course conditions are really good, 0 complaints from that standpoint. Recommend looking for a hot deal and giving this course a go if you haven’t already.

Always a Great Experience!

Rock Barn Jackson Course never fails when it comes to a great golf experience. From the time you pull in the gates and see the beautiful course. The course is always in great condition, from tee to green. Also the pace of play is always great.

We played 18 then decided to replay 18. The staff was so aware they brought us a new cart out at the 2nd hole which was greatly appreciated. If you haven’t ever played this course you are missing out.

Very Good Community Course

This course was in great condition from tee to green. There's no trickery in the design.. Heat maps of the green on the cart GPS is a nice touch. We were 1st off so no waiting. Greens are well cared for. This is worth playing if you're in the area.
