Rocky Bayou Country Club

The course is coming a round but it’s not there yet. I’ve always enjoyed playing this course and it’s usually in great shape but there’s work that reds to be done on the tee boxes and some greens. Hole 16 is a temporary green and it has been for a while. I’m sure it will be back to par soon.

Golf Now Deals make this course very affordable compared to courses closer to SanDestin and the surrounding area. The track is nice, greens provide a nice role and are in great shape. We played twice in the past six weeks and the pace of play is really good. Driving range is good and putting green is in great shape as well. For locals like me near 30A it’s a great deal.

Greens were in rough shape (mostly the back nine). There was a temporary green on number 16. Pace of play was pretty slow as it took us 4.5 hours for 18. No rangers on course. No starter on tee box. Dormant grass was starting to grow in Fairway. The driving range was decent but showing age.
Overall a decent layout with some elevation changes but not worth the prices they were charging. One suggestion would be to get a bag drop area as the distance between where we had to park and the cart barn was substantial.
The place was packed though so they must be doing some things right.
Overall 3 stars

Very good value. Friendly staff, enjoyable layout would strongly recommend.

Had a terrific time on a challenging track, many nice surprises out there! Friendly members and staff made for enjoyable day.

Backed up on some holes, not ideal, but not a deal breaker.

Best part was the greens. Very good. Fairways ok.

greens are very good. Fairways where good but sparce in places. One green was closed.

The best place to play for your money. Such a great track.

Overall I really enjoyed my round. I liked the layout of the course rolling through the community. The water views were just beautiful which also made those holes a little challenging. You had to think a little bit before striking your shot. Would definitely play this course again.

Nice course. Terrible pace of play. Fivesomes are accepted.

It’s a great course, and wow, we had plenty of time to enjoy it, thanks to one group in front of us and no ranger on the course.

Found the round available through Golf Now for around $40 all-in. Included cart fee’s, range balls, and green fee’s.
Before I tee’d off, it rained for twenty straight minutes. At no point during the round was I worried that the course was too wet. I joined up with a gentleman named Gary who was local to the area and had knowledge of the golf course.
It was a very flat. It’s an “easy on the eye” type of track. Not super long, but yet still required the player to play to the course. I shot my best round of the year there, most likely due to the forgiving nature of the course. You’re rewarded for good shots and your life is not taken for your bad ones. Slow greens, yet firm. I would assume they speed up as the weather warms up. Regardless, I enjoyed the fact that you could attack for birdies and the worry of blowing your putt past the whole was non-existent. I thoroughly enjoyed the day I had up there. It’s a diamond in the rough compared to a lot of the golf in the Destin area. I CANNOT wait to get back there.
