The Rock Barn Country Club & Spa

The fairway are still brown but very playable, the greens are excellent.

Bucket list for anyone!! I would recommend this to anyone and we'll certainly play again.

The Jones course is awesome. It was in great shape and has an amazing layout. Only one complaint, it was a painfully slow round of golf, though the course worth the wait. I just wish hacks wouldn't plum bob a 4 footer for double.

was fun playing with my son's friends from the blue tees even though i am over 70 yrs old. couple of breaks and could have shot my age. i am bragging and have just put pressure on myself. playing well especially was fun to play a course that the sr pga pros played. amazing what scores they shot.
there was a good bit of waiting but still play in about 4:20. of course the great price on GolfNOW set it up.

I played on a $25 hot deal on a Wednesday afternoon. You can't find a better course for the money. Even after having a ton of rain over the past few days, it was pretty dry. Rules were cart path only, but I think 90 degrees would have been fine. Greens were receptive, quick, and rolled true.

Really a treat to play the Rock Barn Jones course. Course was in great shape. Greens were rolling beautifully.

This is my new favorite resort golf location taking over from Grandover. This is a very scenic location with some really interesting holes - and this is the easy course! There is a premium on being able to put your ball where you need to. Don't be put off by the distance from the blue tees (5900). If you are anything over a 10 it will give you a run for the money!

One of my favorites. The course never disappoints.

Enjoyed the day in every way. If you miss the fairway ball is hard to impossible to find in deep grass.

Beautiful day and course was in great condition. A couple of fairways were a little narrow, but other that that really liked this course.

Very challenging course. Stay in the fairway...getting out of the rough makes for some very long holes. Fairway position is everything. Lay ups are often the most prudent shot selection. Greens had been punched the week prior, but not in terrible shape. However, they were expectedly slow and bumpy. This is a great layout. Enjoyed my round.

WOW. Everything there was outstanding. We had a tee time for the Jackson course, but played Jones course. Course was in perfect shape. Great value.

Here's my review of the Jackson Course at Rock Barn. Going to use the "10 scale". Greens: 8-good public golf speed. Fairways:8-they were pretty good except for the 2 holes where it was carts on path. Rough: 1-if you didn't hit the fairway, be ready to go on a hunt. It took this two-some over 3.5 hours to play...not because of bad play or an overcrowded course. The rough hadn't been mowed in weeks!! Bunkers: 0-It was hard for me to believe the level of neglect. Grass in every single bunker. Edges were nonexistent. Extremely disappointing. They were horrible!! Layout: 3-Typical Tom Jackson layout. Great par 3s, decent par 5s, and horrible par 4s. I'm guessing the Jones course is where they spend their time, money, and manpower.

It was my first time at this course. I played from the blue tees, and shot an 80 on this Par 71 course (it has an extra par 3, and one less par 4). I did not think the course was overly challenging... it might have been on the easier side, actually - but I was hitting the ball fairly well so I only found trouble a couple of times. On another day my opinion might change! My short game, however, was pretty poor this day, so my score did not reflect how well I was striking the ball.

As for the course itself... It has some well shaped holes, with some water here and there, though not a lot of fairway bunkers that mattered to me (unlike the Bobby Jones course!) - I did find one fairway bunker and one greenside bunker, though. It has some neat "island" type holes... not really islands but well guarded by water. It has some narrow fairways and some wide fairways, and it has two par 3's with big elevation changes (2 clubs off because of the big downslope).

Negatives... hole #14 isn't in very good shape. It's almost all rough (I think it's under repair?) and you can easily lose a ball in it. Hit it straight and watch your drive closely so you don't spend a lot of time hunting for your ball.

Greens were in excellent shape. Course trying to overcome winter kill in fairways and some tee boxes. Spending a lot of money to recover.

To many roped off areas. You couldn't see the fairways. I didn't think it was as bad as it was. Maybe two months from now I would try it again

Although the course has had winter kill, the staff were up front with the conditions. The course is excellent and I will return to play it. Topping off the course was the friendly staff. Had a chance to interact with one if the groundskeepers and beverage lady "Ashley". Friendly staff make the difference between a good experience and a horrible one.

Fairways torn up from winter kill. In terrible shape. Greens OK.
Wish I had known how bad the conditions were before committing to play there.

From the cafe to the club GM, all terrible. First hole up the club staff member played a single behind us and rushed us on his "break". The GM got on us on the 18th after driving in the rough....cafe members acted like they didn't want to be there or offer any help. I've played many courses from MN to FL and this is the worst.

We have played numerous times and always enjoy Rock Barn Golf. However, yesterday was a tremendous disappointment. We booked a tee time and paid regular price for a round. We were aware of significant fairway and tee box winter grass kill from our last few visits. We also understand the need for significant resoding and aeration to repair the course. However, we found the majority of most landing areas on fairways unplayable and roped off for ground under repair which had became mud. We. dodged numerous water from many sprinklers, lost balls in sunken mud and dirty clothes from mud and mud splashes. We had a groundsman follow us on most holes waiting and staring making us very uncomfortable as he watered the greens after we finished the hole. He passed us on 18 to water the green just before we reached it to putt. Trying to be understanding we went into the Pro Shop after our round to relate our frustration and asked why we were not told or given a discounted because of such poor conditions. We were told that they were going to start telling people with no concern for our bad experience. I do hope their work improves the course and hope ou next customer service experience improves if we decide to return as we like the course.
