The Rock Barn Country Club & Spa

Others can try to be Rock Barn but there can only be one. Nearly perfect conditions and the greens were excellent. As good as a course can be. Might be the best course in Nc condition wise.

Hope to be back soon.

Great Golf Club.. 1st class everything. Play here often.

One thing however often puzzles me while on the course. Hole 17 on Jackson. As you approach the last half of this hole & the green, the GPS boundaries for Cart Restriction start about 65 yards out if you are anywhere from just right of the center of the fairway all the way to, and even thru, the left side rough. Yet you can drive to within 10 feet of the greenside sand traps on the front right of the green. Obviously, this right side area of the fairway is way more compacted from traffic than the left due to this... and some approach shots will bounce & travel way further on the right side than the left side as you approach this green.

Great course. About $60 with a cart. Great condition. Great layout! Great greens! Fairways were really nice.

I would play this course again in a heartbeat!!

Plays a lot longer than it reads. Very well kept. Greens have alot of unrepaired divots, which for a member course, baffles me; but I digress… Friendly staff, great value and definitely will play again

One of my favorite courses in western NC. Always a good pace of play, staff is friendly, and course is in good conditions.

I’m retired in FL and play a lot of golf. I also RV and golf in my travels. Rock Barn/Jackson course was a pleasure and I’m so glad I drove a few extra miles to play it! Conditions were excellent ( a little maintenance going on in a couple of spots), staff friendly and helpful, and the layout itself was fantastic. Great variety of shots and vistas!! I’ll go back every time I’m in the area!!

The Jackson course is in fantastic shape. Only the 9th green showed any issues, but only on the fringes.

Course was in excellent condition. Greens were fast but true. Gentleman in the pro shop was very friendly and more importantly provided my son and I the details and logistics of the course. We had a great time.

Course plays longer than the yardage and you will use all your clubs. Has a good variety of holes and overall in very good condition. A few areas, mainly in the rough, had washed due to recent heavy rain. Greens were smooth and good speed, but I wish more players would take the time to fix ball marks. Fairways excellent. Would strongly recommend if in the area especially if you can get on for $60 or less. Course wasn’t full and we made it around with no waiting.

Really enjoy playing at RB, top notch outfit and The Staff are surprisingly laid back for a high-end golf club.

If I had to find any negatives it would be Cart GPS issues and Hole/Cup placements at times. Often the Carts will shut down even though your on the paved path, and not exceeding any speed limits. Happens often on Holes 15 & hole 7 and occasionally in a few other spots. No. Big deal, just aggravating.

Also the course staff sometimes place Cups on slopes.. have had a few putts that were struck say 1' or less short of the cup come back towards me like 6 to 8 ft. This happens generally on holes 16, 18, 11 & 13. Again not a big deal but more thought might needs to be exerted when placing these especially when they are dry & rolling fast.

All in all RB is still a top notch golf club.

Play here regularly, however today the greens (including practice green) were only 75% mown, only the center section of the greens had been mown, The remaining portions were very shaggy and the mowing patterns had no border and were very inconsistent. . Could possibly be due to the coming heat wave, not sure, however they should offer a Discounted Rate when they do this. It's was frustrating to play on such.

Some tee boxes are absolutely horrible and the green greenside bunkers were not well maintained.
