The Rock Barn Country Club & Spa

Having experienced significantly above-average rainfall all season, capped by incredible flooding in late July, it is almost surprising that the course is open at all, and VERY impressive that conditions are so good ! i appreciate that Rock Barn was very candid in advising (prior to completing the reservation process) that two greens (#3 & #5) on the Jones course are closed, as they were destroyed in the late July flooding and are being reconstructed - and that numerous flooded bunkers are also being restored. The construction activity was buzzing on my day of play, and quite interesting to observe. Golf staff was extremely cordial, and offered option of playing temporary greens on those holes, or playing #'s 8 & 9 (reasonably comparable holes to #'s 3 & 5) twice. Probably a "5" overall rating upon full recovery from flood damage. Looking forward to return visit(s) in the future !

Challenging and fun course. Condition of course (collars were being sod cut and unplayable) was misrepresented by pro shop before I booked. Pro Shop staff appeared unconcerned and dismissive when I expressed my complaint. Will be awhile before I plan to return.

The course needs a lot of work after the flood and heavy rain 4 weeks ago.2 greens washed out and sand traps in bad shape but overall my favorite course and place to play golf once all the repairs are done from flood damaged the course will be awesome again great fairways and greens always enjoy playing golf at rockbarn.on a sidenote love the Jackson course also..

The course is absolutely beautiful with stunning views everywhere. The course is extremely hilly and well maintained. The fairways are lush. The greens are full, fast, and full of undulations. The course is full of large bunkers that will catch errant drives and off line approach shots; they require a variety of long, medium, & short bunker shots. My only negative comments is that the 3 inch rough is too high - I lost 3 balls within 6 feet of the fairway because the ball settles down in the rough and can't be found unless you are right on top of it. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and I had a great round of golf.

Great course, especially for the local area! Fast greens and great service

Played here 8/7/2013. Had been wet in the area, but the course was in great condition. Lots of challenging holes even from the 6000 yard tees. Keep it in the fairway and you can play this course well. Hit it into the rough and you'll have your hands full to get it to the green!

Great conditions, great practice areas including a practice green with bunkers, a range and huge putting green. Choose between two great courses both well maintained. Cooler with ice on every cart. Expectations met! Never disappointed as I live nearby and play here 20 to 30 times a year and always look forward to it.

The fairways are good and the tee boxes but the sand traps have been washed out due to the tremendous amount of rain we have had this year.

The greens are recovering from being aerated and roll well but the greens keepers were applying sod trim around many of the greens

I have played both courses at Rock Barn, and they are excellent. A true challenge for any skill level. The courses and staff are top notch. A must play if you're in the Greater Hickory area!

Played the Jackson course and it was in great shape considering it's been raining for a month straight here. I'ts not as difficult as the Jones course, but for $20 less per round, it's well worth it.

Rock Barn is awesome. The fairways were perfect. The greens were perfect. Considering all the rain we've had, this was a truly wonderful experience and well worth the 45 minute drive from Huntersville, NC.

The course was in great shap, its always in gerat shape! I have play there twice a month all year one of the best courses in Western north Carolina!

Course is very well maintained, is challenging and greens are not super fast but the ball rolls true.

One of the best course around. Considering that its been raining all week the course was kept in great shape. Would definitely play it again.

This is not the most interesting course (especially compared to the Jones), but it was holding up really well considering we have been under a flood warning for about a week. Golf now makes it worth the money. Its fun. Nice day of golf. Greens were particularly in good shape.

the course and greens were in great shape even in are the rain was able to finish the round

excellant course, like layout very much, very tranquil

The Jackson course is as good if not better than the Jones course and half the price! The course for the middle of summer was in good shape and the greens rolled perfectly!

Took wife with me for the first time and she loved the course even tho she was riding in the cart..Me myslef as a golfer love this course .

All around immaculate course. I wish it was closer.
