Christmas Eve Golf

Always a great time when I get the opportunity to play this course. The staff is always welcoming and the pro even allowed us to fill an earlier tee time which made it to where we finished before sundown. Looking forward to playing again all. Great Christmas Eve round.

One of the best

This country club and spa is one of the best. Jackson course is public and in great condition. First hole is challenging with a long carry from the tee and a blind second shot. After that, the rest of the course is excellent. I would love to play here often but the rates are too high without Golf now discounts.

Amazing Experience

This course is best public course in the greater Charlotte area. It was in amazing shape and can only imagine how plush it is in summer. The fairways are like greens at some courses in the area and those courses charge more than Rock Barn, if you want to see what a golf course should look like, by all means play here. Be sure your sand game is on point, as their are lots of green side bunkers as well as fairways. Golf carts have covers on them, balls on range already and is included. The only negative thing I have to say is that the cart was dirty, coolers full of grass which was surprising to me with how nice everything is, if you have been hesitating to play here, don’t put it off any longer. I will be back very soon.

Outstanding as Always

Very wet day, 2.5 inches of rain in the past 48 hours, so cart path only. It didn't matter, we had a great day! Course seemed to have drained very well and the greens were in excellent condition. Little chilly unless the sun was out but the carts had covers! We topped the day off with a few beers and food watching golf on wide screen! We will be back!

Not really complaining. We are a twosome and got behind some members. The group ahead was a foursome and in front of them was a group of 5. Didn't even bother to offer us to play through. But not a big deal.

We are not members so didn't say anything. Took two people 5 hours to play 18.

If you're going to charge $70......

Love the layout, the greens and the fairways. But if you're going to charge $70+ on the weekend you need to address the condition of the bunkers. They are terrible. I know you're supposed to hit it on the green stuff but sometimes you end up on the beach. If was just once in a while, I'd be okay with it but it's everytime I play here. Washed out, underlayment showing with big piles of sand in other places. I'm starting to have trouble justifying the green fee to play here. I love this course it's just......
