Wonderful: Proffesional: Makes Golf Affordable
After the dormant grass comes back in two weeks and the greens fill in from the punching, it will be perfect. Extremely great prices. I can actually with these great deals.
Great character, beautiful surrounding
I enjoyed playing the Jackson Course at The Rock Barn. It was early season and will be greatly improved as things begin to bloom.
Lots of blind shots due to elevation changes but well put together.
Pace of play was quite slow and the hotdog at the turn was quite possibly the most egregious thing ever to be passed off as food. Had jalepeno's, goat cheese and I believe a touch of furniture polish. Nicely laid out and lots of sand to keep you honest. Par 3's were quite challenging with the wind and elevation changes.
Great course; challenging
I always enjoy playing the Jones Course at Rock Barn. It is a challenging course, but very enjoyable. The greens are firm and fast with subtle breaks that are sometimes hard to read. The course has been in great shape every time I have played it (even in the winter months when it is dormant). Play it and you will not be disappointed. A must play.
Great Course
This course is in great condition and is my personal favorite. . The greens are fast and the bunkers are full of sand. There are many very challenging holes that will make you think before hitting. The only drawback I have ever experienced at the facility is the carts look good and clean but the cart always runs out before the round is over. Cart batteries or changers need attention.
Great course!!!
One of the best courses in the area. Many difficult position tee shots and well protected greens.
Rock Barn Jones Course
Even from the white tees this was the toughest course I've ever played. I only hit tee shots in the 220 range and this layout
required that I hit a layup shot on almost every par 4 and 5. Winter weather had the Burmuda flattened so I will wait until there is some loft on the fairway grass before playing here again.
All around great course
this is a perfect choice if you want to play a difficult but fair course in the Charlotte area. it requires you to layup in the right spot and there is about 4 holes where you have to leave driver in the bag. I played from the Blues (6600 yards) and there is a few holes where you can go driver wedge and then there is some where you go driver 3 iron for par fours.
The course is in perfect condition and it is beautiful to look at with all the trees, creeks and hilly terrain.
It is a must play in the Charlotte area.
Very challenging.
The staff at this course was very friendly. The course was in excellent shape for wintertime. The fairways were wide, plush with no dry spots.
Played the Jackson course
this course though dorment was in better shape than most courses in bloom. We played the blues at almost 6000 yards, The golds were not out on the front nine. Even at only 6000 yards this course makes you hit everyclub in the bag. Fantastic course and the greens putted true and again, quicker than most in season. great value, great staff, and great course!!!
Rock Barn Jackson Course...Nice shape for December golf
The course was in good shape for this time of year. The greens were smooth and enjoyable to putt on. This is not a bombers course. You have to think your way around it off the tee. I think it was playing about 6400yds. Some tricky and challenging holes if you dont put alot of thought into your shots. I enjoyed it.
Will play again...

Terrific layout, great conditioning, very friendly staff
Classic RT Jones course - plenty of fairway but plenty of punishment should you miss the fairway or the green. Large and moderately deep bunkers protect many greens. Great use of water to beautify holes as well as limit where you can hit the ball. Greens are quick and true, hold shots well, and many have more than one tier. From the blue tees, you'll use every club in the bag. Great par three holes, from PW to 3 iron distances. By far the best course in the area.
Very Tough but very fair
Great course in awesome shape for December. You hit the ball well, you will score well, but there is trouble if you miss it left or right on many holes. Greens were very fast, but rolled well. Only negative was there wasn't a acrt girl on a very mild Saturday.
The Jones Course is one of the best in the Charlotte area.
I've only played here twice, but it is one of my favorite "tough" courses in the area. It's got some length, some forced carries, but is not overly penal. Greens are pretty ample and roll true. The last time I played here was just after the Championship Tour event in October, and obviously the course was in immaculate condition. I also had my very first hole-in-one that round, #3, 192 yards! The pro shop and dining room staff have always been very friendly and helpful. Overall, it is a great experience and definitely a must-play course.
Beautiful, but greens way to shaggy, needs cutting.
Nice course, nice staff. However Jackson course greens need some help. Lots of better greens in surrounding area for the money. Don't pay more than 20 to play here, not worth it
Fun course in really good condition for December
Enjoyable course in good condition and for the price really good value.
Excellent facility
I play here often so I am little biased. This is one of the best 'public' courses in the area (Verdict Ridge is the other). There are two 18 hole courses: Jones & Jackson (Jones hosts a Senior tour event every year and is more difficult). Both are well maintained year-round and the fess are reasonable. (FYI - the ratings apply to the Jackson side)
The course is always in great shape.
This course is VERY enjoyable by ALL levels of golfers.
Rock Barn (Jackson)
This is what golf is all about to the weekend golfer. Staff is friendly and the course is always is wonderful condition. Took my dad (20 handicap) and he loved it. Would play there every week if I could. A Must Play!!!!
Greens were perfect and super fast!
Great value for price! Hilly course with creek winfing throughout.
