Excellent fun layout.
Jackson course was in excellent shape. Greens a little fast. Layout was beautiful. Lots of variety but not just long and straight. Par 3s over water were really nice. Hills too. Not boring at all.
Hilly Course
Course was in really good shape, fairways were really nice, tee boxes good and so were the greens.
If you think about it, the Jones course which is adjacent and private they should have the same greens keeper for both so Jackson should be just as nice as the Jones course.
Give it another month...
I've always heard, "You've got to play Rock Barn, you'll love it!" Of course I waited until the middle of a pandemic to play but it was worth the drive from Charlotte. The greens were recently punched (would have been nice to know ahead of time :)) BUT, they rolled pretty well considering. I would say in another month, this place will be PLUSH! I'll be back for sure!
Great Value
Little wet but course can’t be blamed for that with this much rain. Greens in great shape but other golfers need to learn how to fix divots. Great value beautiful course with beautiful houses around course.
Winter golf
Greens were fast and in great condition. Fairways and tee box’s all all brown and flood damaged. In need of TLC
Rock Barn was great today.
Rick barn. Course played beautifully today. Not a bad lie all day. Staff was working around the course but no issues for players. Loved it.
Very interesting course!
I have played the Jones course many times and have always liked the course conditions and its layout. Never thought about playing the Jackson course, but I have to say I really enjoyed playing it. I personally liked the layout very much. The course is a bit hilly with a lot of blind shots, so knowing the course is a big plus. Course condition were good. We played a day after a lot of rain so there were wet spots everywhere. Tee boxes and bunkers were in really good shape for how wet it was. Fairways were dormant, but we did not struggle with the lies too much. Pace of play was well managed. I would definitely recommend this course.
Excellent
You couldn’t ask for a better course all the way around
Great course for the value
I usually play this course a few times a year when visiting the area. Nice to be able to get onto a semi private course for the price. If you can swing the hot deals, which is always available mid week. Since its semi private, its usually not busy mid week and can play 18 in about 2 hours. Staff in pro shop and restaurant very friendly.
Phenomenal
Absolutely phenomenal course, greens were perfect, incredible layout and fairway were perfect. Literally cannot find another course that compares to this for it being public
Challenging course
Fairways were in good shape, greens were fast, pace of play was great. Course was wet in areas. A worker riding a farm tractor pulling a blower left large ruts in the wet areas around the greens and tees.
Great layout but...
Jackson course is a great layout. Wonderful change of elevation on most holes from tee to green. Lots of bunkering but well placed to make green access challenging. However, the greens are not good. Lots of unhealed ball marks, black patches, and bare spots on the greens. If the greens were better this course is a 5.
great course!
love this course, staff is always great. top notch course and always have some of the best deals on here. highly highly recommend this course
Enjoyed the round
Great layout and wonderful staff. Only thing to keep it from 5 stars were the greens.. Did not know that they had been recently plugged before booking the round. Will definitely come back to play once they have grown back in.
Rock Barn Tom Jackson Course
Very nice course, playable for beginners. Greens were nice and in relatively good shape. Rough wasn't much of a factor due to width of fairways. Only complaint was we had a group of 5 playing in front of us and no starter to regulate this. We weren't in a hurry though because as beginners it took us awhile to get through holes anyways.
