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.

Beautiful Course

The course was in great shape, naturally the champions tour is coming in a few weeks or so. We enjoyed the course was in great shape, the staff seemed to be a little pressed but nonetheless overall great outing.

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.

Best Course I've ever played

There is no question as to why the PGA chooses to host a Senior Tour event here. The greens are immaculate and there is not a blade of grass out of place. The course demands every club in the bag and precise placement of your tee shots to set up multiple shots over water. Do not leave any shot or putt short.

Amazing

This is my all time favorite course. I am working to make some mini tour stops and this place really hones in the game. Very fair but a great challenge from the back tees. 10

One of the best values

The Robert Trent Jones course was in great shape and will challenge all the clubs in the bag. Greens ran true and staff was very friendly.

awesomeness

Played the Jones course first . Was awesome played the best golf of my life . Challenging especially some of the par 3's from the higher elevation points . Would recommend this course and will play it again . The best thing if u have enough time is to finish the day on the Jackson course not quite as demanding but I'd allot of fun . The turn around fee $20 . Worth it .

The only thing I have to complain about is my game. The course was great. Not my first time playing here and will not be the last.

One of the best course in our area

Played as twosome at 11:00. Actually prefer Jackson over the championship course for my skill level, 13 handicap. Course in great shape, except a couple of fairways they were plugging. Greens also in great shape, moderate, fair speed. I'd play this course everyday if I could. Staff very friend and accommodating. Ate at Sues Grill at end of nine, during a brief rain storm. The food was outstanding! Highly recommend.

Play this course and you will see why the Champions Tour plays here.

Greens pristine and rolled true. Fairways without a blemish. The rough was punishing. Everything you would want in a five star golf course.
