Championship Course

Played on a sunny but extremely windy day, which added to the course difficulty. Pace of play was great, even time to take a quick look for wayward balls. Really enjoyable round of golf.

Sweeeeeet

Have played on jones course many times. But was our first time here on Jackson course. Very pleasantly surprised. The holes they played on the combo course from the senior event from the previous week were an extra special treat. The course on the whole was in great shape. We never saw another group and the facilities are worthy of 2x the price. Play here! You will enjoy yourself!

Played the blended 18 hole and liked it. I have played all of both courses and while i didnt get to play some of the better holes, the course was in good shape and the blended hole were very playable.

Jackson Course at Rock Barn

Course was in good shape. The greens are faster
than they have been in a few months, good putting
surface. We played as a twosome and finished in
three hours.

Ready to see the Champions Tour here in about
a week !

Top 10 in the Area

Spent the afternoon with my dad & brothers out here and was not disappointed. Facilities were in great shape (the practice range COULD be better...but not a huge deal). Course lived up to expectations. Fairways were plush and well cared-for. Greens were in great shape and rolled true. Some ongoing construction around the course, but anyone that lives in the Charlotte-area would be used to this. You will get what you pay for here, if you time it right you can find some great deals.

Great Course

I've played the Jones course 3 times now and I am never disappointed. The layout is great and the fact that the Champions Tour will be there next month makes the experience better.

Rock Barn CC

Of the two courses the Jones course is the best. The course was doing maintenance so we played 9 holes on the Jones and then 9 on the Jackson course. The staff was on top of everything when we arrived and got us off earlier than our tee time. Definitely want to go back and play the Jones course when not being worked on. Overall was a very good time.

would love to play it again

A great golfing experience with a friendly and accommodating staff. The only hitch was that golfnow's website had tee times starting at 6am when the club's earliest starting time is 730. I had a tee time for 722 which was not a problem.

This place is just AMAZING!

I hd played this course before with an amateur league, so when my friend who had always beating me in overall score asked if I wanted to play it this time I didn't hesitate. The course is in amazing conditions, the rough lives to it's tough expectations. Greens are rolling beautifully and true. I completely understand why the Champions Tour plays here. The course is challenging enough for anyone if they can't stay on the fairway, but keeping it fun and entertaining. Not to say that it was the first time I beat my friend so I'll be definitely making my way back here sometime.

Always Top Notch!

The Rock Barn courses (especially the Jones) are always a pleasure. The Jones course is in excellent condition. The greens were a bit slower than usual but who cares? It was The Jones course!! We played for $35.00 each and I would do that every week for that price.

Well Worth It

Chose Rock Barn for a Friday round and was not disappointed. Course was in fantastic shape and the weather could not be more perfect. Played the Jones course and it lived up to its reputation. Greens rolled super-true. There were a few instances of ongoing construction throughout the course but for the most part everything was quiet. Would have liked for the course to be a little more well-marked (had a rangefinder so this is negligible). Overall a great day. Will definitely have to come back and play here again.
