The course itself is beautiful and well maintained, and the staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the experience was ruined by several members whose behavior was completely unacceptable. Our group was visiting from out of town and was hit into five different times within the first nine holes. We maintained a steady pace of play and never lost sight of the group ahead. At the turn, we decided to grab a quick bite to allow a faster group to play through, but when we returned to the 10th tee, another group of members approached us aggressively, claiming it was an “unwri…

Rocky Bayou it’s self is a beautiful course. But the members they have there are unbearable. We played 18 hours and we had members coming up tell us we had to let them play thru because the president of the course said. Also had members tell us they hope we don’t come back because we stop for a hot dog at the turn. Had four different altercations with stuck up members that think they are better than everyone else. Good course, good staff, but the members made the experience unbearable.

Gorgeous golf course in Niceville! Such a hidden Gem you can tell as your driving up to the course how gorgeous this place is! My husband and I actually had our wedding reception here and the staff were wonderful! Also the chef catered our wedding and the food was amazing!! Also the price was very good compared to other venues in the area we had looked at!

Played there twice and it was a very nice course with a good-looking layout. I am sure that in season I would be giving it five stars instead of just four.

I WAS a member here. Let me tell you, the reviews are correct. The homeowner members are atrocious. As a member I was always asked if I “lived on property” by other members and they would point out their house as we pasted it on hole X. I won’t discuss average home prices in Niceville.🤣 It used to be a country club back in the day. Then they went public because they ran out of money. They have recently decided to go back to a semi-private country club, which is when I left because of the rate hike and attitude of the board members. They are still broke so they allow the public to come in for…

Relative to the other courses in the area, I was impressed with the condition, friendliness of the staff and pace of play. Fairways and greens were in great shape, bunkers were full of sand ( not hard-packed, neglected). Would highly recommend if you're in the area.

BLUF/TLDR: if you are military, law enforcement, nursing, or any job that requires shift work, this course is not for you. Now, if you have a minute to spare, I’d like to share my experience of Rocky Bayou. As someone who has played Rocky Bayou ~15 times over the last year, I can honestly tell you there is not a country club in the area WASP-ier than here. 9 year olds with Paradyms on the range are common place. I once had an 11 year old telling me that my Stealth driver was ****, and that I should be using the G425 instead… This course does not offer rain checks for afternoon tee times (wh…

Tried to call about a tee time just asking a simple question and miles was extremely disrespectful for absolutely no reason. All I needed to know was if a five person tee time was possible. He needs to be taken off the phone over there cause that was sad.

Good condition and very good for price. But if you can afford it, go to Indian bayou CC.

Not beginner-friendly. You must play the course to use the driving range, which I've never encountered anywhere else. Feels like pure gatekeeping rather than a genuine policy. To make it worse, this restriction isn't mentioned anywhere on their website, so you won’t know until you show up. Wouldn’t recommend for casual golfers or those just looking to practice.
