The Rock Barn Country Club & Spa

The Jackson course is one of two courses, the other being the Jones Course, at the Rock Barn Golf and Spa in Conover NC. The Jackson is a fair course that can present many holes where birdies are feasible but the course isn’t a chip shot either. There are holes that can jump up and bite you on the butt if you get careless. The Jones course hosted the Hickory Kia Classic a number of years ago for the Champions tour. About 10 plus years ago there was a severe storm that devastated some holes on the Jones Course that have since been totally reconstructed. But at the time they were able to continue hosting the Champions tour by making a hybrid course layout consisting of holes from both courses. It’s pretty cool to actually play holes that the tour boys have played! The practice facility is great and included in the price. It has a full range, a large practice putting green and a practice green for chipping and bunker shots. There’s a new fleet of carts with GPS to the flags and charging capabilities with usb ports. Overall I would recommend this course for an enjoyable round with friends.

Greta course conditions and layout. Is my new go to course

We love the layout of the Jackson course. Its layout is good and plenty of challenges along the way. Wide fairways and nice putting on the greens. It’s our favorite course when we can afford it. We’re Senior husband and wife golfers who have to find good deals to play there at their rates. Using Golf Now helps.

Very nice course, challenging, beautiful. Staff was very friendly

Beautiful layout, friendly staff and the course layout was great and challenging. The problem was the greens. There was an apparent fungus on most of them that was unsightly and made some putts very bumpy and irregular. When they get that figured out it is a place I would definitely go back to. Bonus was range balls were included with the round

I was traveling for work and found a hot deal for this course and took it. Out of all the courses I’ve played on the road this has to be the best one. Staff was extremely nice and helpful, nice driving range, great course layout (Jackson) There were a couple greens that had some dead spots but I was thoroughly impressed with the track. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone around this area. I will absolutely play here again when I’m nearby. 10/10

First time playing the Jackson course. The course was on the shorter side but that didn’t make it easy. A lot of tricky tee shots and elevation change made it a fun challenge. Course conditions were good. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Cart girl came by frequently. Food at the turn was good. Easily a top 6 turkey sandwich I’ve had. Overall a good day on the course and worth the money.

Tale of two courses. Back nine is fantastic. Course needs work. Bunkers were lacking sand in spots and other players didn’t take care of them. Divots unrepaired, fairway divots everywhere, and bunkers need work. Cool spot and staff was great.

Very nice course, staff was nice, BUT the GPS nagging at me for 18 holes was horrible. At one point it locked up my cart automatically and my cart slid sideways down a hill, I was concerned it might topple over. It stayed locked for about 10 minutes. Not to mention the cart stopping about a dozen other times and needing to go backwards. There’s no indicators on the course to know when this will happen. Idiotic implementation of the current technology.

I have played this a lot. It’s a go to course. I love the set up, staff, and availability. For some reason greens are a little beat up in the Jackson course right now. Could be a bad mower knicking it up or a disease. Either way some bare spots on edges

Other than that really enjoyed the round.

Played this course last week with my family.

No complaints about the course, but my bag was loaded up by their staff. Putting full faith in them that their staff had done this many times before I went on my way to play my round.

My bag was not properly secured and my clubs went flying out onto the pavement of the cart path after driving off the first tee. My driver sustained damage in addition to scratches on my irons.

When I went to the pro shop afterwards seeking a resolution, I was offered no immediate solution, instead handed the director of golf's business card. I received no response back after multiple emails and voice message unreturned. I have no resolution.

I wont recommend this club to anyone.

Played this course years ago and decided to take a buddy and drive up from Charlotte. I was very disappointed in how the maintenance had fallen. Tee boxes were rough, several greens had large bare spots, fairways were in good shape. I would much rather play Deer Brook in Shelby for $42 and it's in much better shape. Skybrook in Charlotte is in much better shape as well. Defineatly not a $70 course and not worth the drive from Charlotte. I can drive to Grandover in Greensboro in the same time for a much better course that is impeccably maintained.
