Paradise in the Panhandle

From greenskeeper to superintendent, Tanner Jacobs has made a steady climb in his young career. He’s in charge at Rocky Bayou Country Club in Niceville, Florida, and obsesses over every detail to provide his customers with the best golf experience. Keeping his turfgrass balanced and perfectly playable is a top priority.“I don’t make a simple soil application without incorporating calcium and OsmoPro™ in my program,” he said. “I feel since we started using it, we’ve had a lot of success with health, with growth and just overall playability and how they look. For my program, it’s perfect.”Rocky Bayou features 115 acres of championship play, incorporating rolling hills, sprawling oaks and stately pines, including 18 holes that they describe as “challenging play with wide fairways, perfectly managed greens, and five spring fed lakes.”
