Pace of Play

It shouldn’t take 3 hours to play 9 holes. They need to start enforcing pace of play. I’m not anywhere near a good golfer but I’ve never waited around so long in-between shots. I guess on a positive note you get to search for a bunch of “lost” golf balls.

Nice course, over priced

Course was nice with a good layout. Greens were ok with a lot of ball marks that were not repaired by the golfers. Clubhouse and pro shop are small with limited hours

Course in good shape

The course is in good shape. Three par threes and three par fives on the second nine a little strange. The heat was oppressive, but that wasn’t the course’s fault. The cart girl came around at least twice.

A hot day at the Rookery

We have played this course once or twice a year for the last five years. I have to say today was the finest condition I’ve ever witnessed. This course gets a lot of play and yet the tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Also nice to see the extra touches with the landscaping around the course. The pace of play although not fast was acceptable. Al in all a very enjoyable round.

Rain

Unfortunately we got rained out after only 6 holes and because it was a hot deal we couldn’t get rain check or any kind of refund! Ugh !
