This course was designed by a Mobilian names Earl Stone. I love his courses. I've played everyone I can find. Rocky Bayou is one of his best. The staff here is great. The practice facility is very convenient to the #1 tee box and the course is always in good shape. The only drawback is the toll bridge and toll road the gets you to the course if you dont know how to get around it.

This is an old course but very well maintained. It is designed by the great Earl Stone of Mobile Alabama.. I play every course I find his name on because it is designed for the everyday golfer. Rocky Bayou is one of his masterpieces. The staff is friendly and accommodating, the greens are exceptional and the layout is challenging but fair. If you are visiting the Gulf Coast in the Destin/Ft Walton area and want to enjoy a round of golf this is the place.

The course needs a little attention. I've played this course (Pines) in the past and it was in much better shape. I will return. The price is great for the area it is in.

This course is maintained by the University of Montevallo located in Montevallo Alabama. I am an alumni of UM and first played this course when it was only 9 holes in the 1990's. It operated for a short time as a 12 hole course. It is now 18 holes and gets regular local play. The layout is challenging at times but overall it is very enjoyable. I would recommend for the beginner who does not want to be intimidated. The patrons are friendly and the crew in the clubhouse are very accommodating. You will feel at home here. Its nothing fancy but it is a fun round of golf. The price is right. Go tee it up at UM Golf Course.

I always enjoy playing this course. The staff is very welcoming and helpful although John in the clubhouse can be a grouch at times.The greens and fairways are always in good shape. The regular rates are steep. If it were not for GOLFNOW - Hot Deals I probably would not play it. The course gets a lot of play from members and the public but it is seldom slow. I recommend it to everyone. You will enjoy it. Leave your driver in the bag on 15 and 17.

Never again. This course is in terrible condition. I played this course because it was a $10 Hot Deal and I may have paid too much. I played 13 holes and quit. It is poorly marked, poorly maintained and a poor layout.
The lady who runs the restaurant and golf course was very nice.

I enjoy walking this course. I usually arrive and practice for about an hour. It has a excellent driving range. You can get 15 balls for $1.00 from the machine. The putting and chipping greens are good. The practice sand trap is always clean.

The food is good. Especially the hamburger! The staff is friendly. They recently got a few new carts if you want to ride.

Great place to play for the average golfer. The weather is a little too wet to really enjoy this course right now. When the weather gets better this is an excellent course and an excellent value/

I always enjoy playing here. Today was a bit disappointing however because of a very slow foursome two groups ahead of us. It looks like they were allowed to jump in front of us on the back nine. The marshals were aware of their slow play and never encouraged them to speed up. I will return though. This is an enjoyable course and the price is great.

The minute I saw Earl Stone's name on this course I knew I had to play it. I was not disappointed.. Mr. Stone is from Mobile and is responsible for the design or redesign several courses along the gulf coast. I have tried to play all of them. All of his layouts are fair for the average golfer and Rocky Bayou is no exception.. Great staff, great practice facility and FREE range balls. I will return very soon.

Alabama's own Jerry Pate reworked this course a few years ago. It is an excellent layout and moderately challenging. Fall would be a good time to play it. The leaves in the state park should compliment well in a couple of weeks.
