The Rookery South

nice course but they let a 5 some play in front of us a it ruined the experience, i was tempted to go to the clubhouse and try to get a refund

Really enjoyed this great course from start to finish. Great facilities, helpful professional staff and a great test on the course.

Tee boxes were in excellent condition and all had very helpful signage. Fairways and greens were the best I played in the area over a 2 week period. It’s a great test with some cleverly placed water hazards.

Play was a little slow but only because we were a two ball with a four ball two holes in front. They were a little wayward but having a great time. We were in no rush so able to enjoy a great day at The Rookery.

Let me say that I appreciate that it is summer and vacationers want to get out for a round of golf and just have some fun. So perhaps they are a little less cognizant of the etiquette expected when golfing or simply, they are on holiday and don’t really care. I realize that the Rookery is located so very close to the major beach destinations and provides reasonable pricing attracting a multitude of visitors of varying degrees of skills. However, 6 hours to play in 97 degree heat is just not good. This has occurred twice now. One round on a Friday and the second on a Monday.

I like the course and its amenities. Enforcement of etiquette is an awfully difficult thing to enforce, but please try.

Staff refused to provide handicap flag and had 90-degree rule in effect even though almost no rain had fallen night before. 100- degree heat and dry as a bone conditions aside from one small puddle near the clubhouse. No water on the course. GPS on carts was locking golfers in. Saw one group pushing their cart to get it unlocked. Staff came around during the middle of back 9 to offer refunds for 9 holes. It was too little too late. Some water on the course and lifting the 90-degree rule when it was obvious the course would not be damaged by carts would have gone a long way to making our round more enjoyable. My advice is to avoid this course. It's less expensive than other nearby courses but it's no bargain. No one who worked at this course seemed very happy to be there.

Greens flowed nice. Some a little hard to hold from 165 -170 out. Hit em but bounced off from on high. Still very enjoyable play.

I really like The Rookery. Easy walking course. Like all golf courses on East Coast, Rookery needs some rain. it shows. Tee boxes need help and some fairways. You can only do so much when needed rain isn't happening.

Got a good Hot time deal in afternoon… course was in good shape… greens were really nice… a few tee boxes weren’t the best … but considering no rain course was good

When you get as many strokes per dollar as I did, it's a great round!

Tough course, but playable. Some long holes!

Pace was good. Course was in great shape!!

I played with my son and two random guys. The course was in excellent condition. My only complaint was the foursome in front of us were not accomplished golfers and played slow. I watched one of the players hut a ball into the water, drop two more balls, hit them both in the water then repeatedly slam his club on the ground. It would have been helpful if there was a ranger to get these guys to move a little faster.

Played 3/31/26. Looks like it was recently aerated but it was still rolling well. It's one of my favorite golf courses near the Delaware beaches. Nice layout with long and short challenging holes. It's a fun golf course
