The Rock Barn Country Club & Spa

The first time I ever played the course, i though the greens were the best I've ever played. They ran true and at a descent pace. The past two times I've played, the greens had just be aerated, but in just 10 days they were almost back to their old selves. Love the course and layout, but the price is only right for me during a hot deal.

Played as a twosome and zipped around the front nine in about an hour and 40 minutes. Back nine was a little slower due to the 95° heat, And getting behind a couple of slower foursomes. Course is fun to play with several interesting holes. Course was in good condition overall, although the greens were a bit bumpy due to aeration a few weeks ago. Would recommend, especially if you can get it for less than $50.

Plush fairways slick green beautifully landscaped and laid out. What a golf course should be!

Everything about this track is solid. Greens were in great shape. Never had to think about bumping the ball in the fairway. Good layout, nice par 3's. Course was packed but moved right along. All staff (pro shop, cart guys, starter, ranger, grill) were all friendly. Played from the blue tees. Yardage is almost 6000 but probably plays closer to 6200. Will definitely go back.

Course is difficult. Alot of placement shots.

I played with 3 members - nice enough guys BUT none of them raked a bunker, filled a divot, fixed a ball mark and ignored the cart signs and parked their carts within feet of the greens. its no wonder the course needs some help when the members don't take care of it. how many times have we heard "its the d**n outside players who don't respect the course"?

It was a pleasure to play this course.

I was paired with some awesome fellows and we had a blast.

The course was a challenge but fair, and the staff was top shelf.

Thanks for having me, I highly recommend this one and look forward

To playing Jackson next.

Rock Barn is where I wan to retire to. Love playing both courses

First time playing this course. Heard it was converting to private club in May2016. (The other course at the spa will be public.) Found the course to be difficult due to recent cold weather that delayed the bermuda grass from growing which leaves the fairways very tight. Many bunkers (w/ fine sand) and doglegs. Would have liked to go back, but wont be able to play the private course.

I have played the Jones course several times and this was by far the worst shape that I have ever seen it in. The greens were longer and much slower than they usually have been. The fairways were very average and the course appeared to lacking overall TLC that I have been used to.

This is one of my favorite courses when visiting the Charlotte area. The first time I made reservations, I did not see that the course was over an hour away from where I was staying. We decided to make the drive anyway and the course did not disappoint. We had a very simple breakfast and hit the course. We played the Jones course and loved every hole and the surrounding area. On other trips, we played the Jackson course and again we were not disappointed. I hope to get back to Rock Barn again and again!

The Jackson course at Rock Barn gets overshadowed by the championship Jones course, but it is a good test of golf. The course is fair, but challenging. The par fours and fives are relatively short for the most part, and the par threes can play fairly long for the most part. The drives on the fours and fives have decent landing areas, but a few holes demand some accuracy off the tee. The greens had been aerated a couple of weeks ago, so they were still a little bumpy, but for the most part, rolled true. The yardages are not marked very well, so be prepared to hunt for distances.

They had just air rated the greens but other than that the course was in very good shape.

A Robert Trent Jones challenge maintained in excellent condition - even playing with recently aerated greens was a treat. Best check it out in April, 2016 as it becomes a private club May 1st. Fortunately the Jackson course will remain semi-private.

Interesting course with several water carries and significant elevation changes. Greens always in great shape. Bunkers in good condition. A little expensive for my cheapskate group, but very worthwhile for a change.

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.
