NEVER AGAIN

Have played this course in the past and it has gone downhill since the first time we played. It had a lot of potential/ however, they did not keep it up. Worse yet I mistakenly booked a tee time for what I thought was 18 holes. This course has always been 18 holes and was 18 holes as late as December 2023, so there was no reason for me to expect otherwise. In any case upon arrival we discovered that they only had 9 holes now so our value was significantly less. In any case the conditions of the 9 holes was pitiful. If I was to pay full price for this course and find the conditions we found I would be highly dissatisfied. I will not be back.

Pleasantly Surprised

The last time I played this course I was somewhat disappointed. I have played it off and on for several years and the last time it had definite issues on the greens and fairways. I was somewhat concerned about bringing some different friends for this outing. Well I was pleasantly surprised at the improvements since my last visit. I hope to play here again soon.

Rough Shape

Have played this course before and it wasn't in any better shape then. Years ago it was in very good shape. At some point the greens got patchy. I can't imagine paying full price and finding the course in this condition. We continue to come back off and on to see if conditions have improved. At this point we will likely drive further distance to play a course in better shape. The staff was very nice.

The Greens were Great

Really enjoyed the course. Had not played since just after hurricane Michael had come through. At that point the fairways were still partially flooded. Apparently the course maintenance people have done a real good job getting them back in shape. It was thin in some locations, but I believe they had just over seeded recently. By far they had the best greens of the courses we had played in the area. They have some great contours and were fast they way I prefer.

Greens were the best

Having played several other courses in the area I was really pleased with the condition of the greens. They had good speed and were in spectacular condition. I was disappointed in the condition of the fairways. There were a few that were in good shape; however, several resembled a desert landscape. I wouldn't describe it as family friendly. It is a challenging course, but I love the layout.

Nice course but not the Big Blue

The course conditions were very good overall. The sand traps were questionable. There were some sand traps that were there one my previous round that were now grass and patchy. The worst was it was 95 degrees with a heat index was off the chart and I didn't see but 1 water station. All in all it was a great day and the course was in good shape. I would play it again.

Great Course Great Staff

Always enjoy playing here. The staff is always friendly and professional. The course is getting better every time I play. The greens are in good shape and getting better and the fairways are filling in nicely. While some holes appear simple and straight forward they have more to them than one might like. I look forward to playing here again.

Awful greens

We were really disappointed in the condition of the greens. We have played here before, and the conditions were not near this bad. The poa or whatever it was throughout all the greens was terrible. If it had been mowed it might have been quite a bit better. In any case I am glad we did not pay their regular fee or I would have been very upset.

50/50 Greens

Enjoyed our round very much; however, the greens were worse than the last time I played. My last review gave the course credit for recovery after the devastating effects of hurricane Michael in the fall of 2018. That being said the greens were a mix of thin nap and clumps. There were times when the ball rolled true and did not hit any clumps. There were also times where a 3 footer would be deflected by a clump. Hopefully this will improve with time. As an after note I wish there were some trash cans out on the course. It might keep golfers from trashing the course as bad.

Best course this trip

We have always liked Rocky Bayou. We have played a few other courses since we have been on vacation, and most all of them have had some issues with their greens if not major issues. The greens here were spectacular. They were fast as lightning and have a variety of undulations that can really throw your read off. The fairways were also in very good shape. I hope to play here again.

Pretty rough for the price

Played this course before and it was in very nice shape overall. When we played this last time the greens were in terrible shape for the price. It is listed on golf now for $30 plus dollars, and the fairways needed mowing and the greens had major bare/rough spots throughout the course. I may be back again, but I will call first and see how conditions are.

Nice course

For the most part this course is in pretty good shape. The staff is real nice and helpful. I love the booklet they provide that gives you distances from various points on the course. The greens were in fair shape for what we have experienced elsewhere. I would play again.

Best Conditions We've Played On

We don't spend the big big bucks for golf like some. We appreciate the courses willing to stay reasonably priced for the middle class. That being said the Walton Pines was in very good shape overall. The greens are the best we have encountered of the courses we have played. The staff was cordial and professional. Will play this course again.

A Fun Course

This course is somewhat challenging. The greens were in pretty fair shape. They putted true and that is what most golfers want. We generally play 6,000 yards, so we play the gold on the front and the white on the back, The staff is always extremely friendly. I really like the cooler full of ice, cups and water provided at the clubhouse.

Getting better every play

Been playing this course for many years. The improvements they have made are fabulous. The greens have improved 100%. There have been times that a hole or two was closed for work or they had a temporary tee box, but the eventual outcome is great. Thanks to the staff for what is becoming a well maintained course.

Getting better all the time

Most of the courses around here have had a difficult time bringing back the great conditions since Michael devastated the area in 2018. While several of the greens still had a way to go, they putted pretty well. Ball rolled true for the most part. The look of the place has changed since I last played since the trees are almost nonexistent compared to 4 years ago. In any case the natural beauty of the place remains and I will come again.

4 years since Michael and coming around.

Hurricane Michael came in 4 years ago and devastated the area. While the overall visual of this course has changed because of the loss of pines they have come a long way to recovery of the greens and fairways. Don't think for a minute they are back to the way they were 4 years ago, but the course is in remarkable condition considering the past. I will play here again.

Nice Challenging Course

I like this course; although, it has several carries that require some thought about lay up or go for it. The greens were in good shape for the most part, but were tough to determine speed. There were some blemishes here and there, but overall were in pretty good shape. I look forward to playing it again.

Improvements have been great

The improvements to this course have been really nice. The clearing of all the undergrowth between holes had certainly added to the aesthetics. A few of the greens could still use a little TLC, but overall the course is a lot of fun. I miss #10 and hope by the end of summer we can be back on it. It is one of the most challenging holes on the course.

Too many Repairs

Played this course in the past and really liked it. They have made significant improvements over the last several years. The only problem I had the other day was the number of holes being repaired at the same time. They might be just as well off to close for a month or so and complete the jobs. There was one hole completely closed and several holes with alternative tee boxes in play. While I appreciate the effort to improve the course, it was not the course I was expecting to play.
