About Rocky Branch Golf Club
Rocky Branch Golf Club in Lincolnton, Georgia, plays as a shorter, strategy-oriented layout rather than a long-hitter's course, and it presents a test for golfers across a range of handicaps.
The round opens with a 333-yard par 4 that requires a carry over water. The tee shot favors a slight right-to-left shape, and a well-placed drive can catch the downslope for added roll.
The course is served by a large clubhouse.
