Reviews
Puzzling
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.
Interesting course but not in great shape
Some tee boxes are absolutely horrible and the green greenside bunkers were not well maintained.
Nice Layout
Fun course to play.
Excellence as usual
Best course in the area. Condition and layout. Shorter, quicker course that is matinee as well as any signature course you're going to play on. This place is by far my favorite and a must play if you're in the area.
Great Day of Golf
Virtually no one on the course. We had it to ourselves. Top-notch conditions and greens were almost perfect. Really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this course.
Rock barn Jackson
Slowest round of golf I’ve ever played.
Way too overpriced for the conditions even though conditions aren’t bad.
Really fun play
Rock Barn Jackson Course is a really fun play. Wide variety of shots. Excellent staff. And course was in really good shape. Greens were superb. Smooth and a really nice quick pace. It’s a bit expensive. But if you go after 2 PM and get the afternoon rate of $75 it’s prob worth it.
Nice Golf Club, but overpriced.
Maintenance staff changes have greatly improved the Jackson Course conditions this year. Lots of course improvements this spring. My only issue with RB is that it's over-priced. $75 is a bit much given other quality courses in the area are far less expensive.
Always incredible
The course is always in excellent condition. One of the best courses in the Charlotte area.
Best kept course around
Great conditions for early summer golf here in the Carolinas. Hole 1 is a smack in the face right off the bat to make sure you brought your A game and a few extra balls. Good shots are rewarded highly. Errant shots are greatly penalized. Some shot par 4 with chances to go for the green, miss and you'll find soft sandy bunkers to play out to salvage par.
Great Course and Staff
The caddy master Danny was great.
The club house server was so nice and engaging.
The course had just punched the greens, so putting was an adventure - but they reduced their normal green fee to accommodate.
Beautiful
First time playing. It's a beautiful course , well maintained.
Speed of play was great. Staff was awesome! Certainly will be back!
The cleanup pass around the edge of the greens is not being skipped due to a lack of maintenance; it is actually part of a proper agronomic management program. The USGA recommends limiting how frequently this area is mowed because the repeated turning, traffic, and cutting pressure from the mower can create additional stress on the turf. Mowing that same outside ring every day can eventually weaken the perimeter, especially during periods of heat stress. This is standard practice at most places.
Following proper maintenance practices, the cleanup pass is typically rotated and performed only a few times per week to allow the turf time to recover while still maintaining quality putting surfaces. Per USGA recommendations, leaving that small outside ring unmowed on certain days has little to no impact on putting conditions or the overall playability of the greens.
