Rocky Bayou Country Club

We made the drive to Niceville from the beach to play this course, because of the price and high rating (4.6 or higher). While it was fun, many of the reviews were exaggerated. Some said "immaculate", and that's not even close to accurate. It's like a nice park course. The greens were the best part and it didn't have any major weaknesses, but immaculate? Cmon. Long story short, we thought we had found an inland hidden gem, and while it's a good course in good shape, it's not any better than the Sandestin or Destin courses that are rated lower (more in the 4.2 range). Still, for $70 it was good value and a good time. Just temper your expectations.

Very very slow play, it took almost 5 hrs to get thru 14 holes. This was even a Monday.

Ok this is. Great value if you don’t mind waiting. It took almost 6 hours to play 18. The value is there and the green were in good condition. The food at the snack shop was really good and. CHeck in was fast and easy as well. I would go back as it was just our first time.

Love the course but some the tee boxes are getting pretty bad especially number 4 white.

Never fails to be immaculately kept! A true gem! Includes beauty, hawks adding to the beauty and a fun experience!

Nice course, in good condition and a very good value compared to Destin courses.

This is one of my favorite courses in the area and I play it about once a month. The course is always in good shape the greens were rolling great and fast but this time a couple of the tee boxes needed some work. Number 10 white tee box has holes and since it’s small it’s hard to find room for your feet without stepping in a hole.

We love to play at Rocky, nice to see golf deals again. The course is always well maintained and manicured. Always, a delightful day at Rocky. Who keeps score when you are enjoying it so much?

Love the course and it’s always in good shape. I’ve played there many times and this was the first time that I had to deal with biting flies. Maybe they haven’t sprayed lately.

My family and I were on vacation for the beach and I needed a little golf. So...I played at Fort Walton Beach and loved every minute of it. Nice flat course easy to walk...but I took a cart and loved it!

Very nice course. Tees, fairways and greens in great shape.

2nd time here, was here in Sept. Of 21'. Shot an 88 and had several 3 putts. The course is dry but not mush rain lately so understandable. This course is high quality for the monies!

Excellent course and layout, but keep your ball in the fairway! With the approaching fall, courses in the area tend not to cut the rough outside of the fairway. Therefore, it gets a little thick and your ball nestles down in the bermuda rough making it challenging to get out. Otherwise, the course is in very good shape. A fun course to play with many elevation changes.

Even though the greens are aerated and sanded they are not to bad, just a little slow and a little bumpy.

Hidden gem just 30 mins from the hustle and bustle of the beach….excellent t value!!
