Solid course. Lots of standing water on tee boxes and fairways, kind of expected when it thunderstormed right up until tee off. Overall happy with my section of course and will be back!

Rookery South Review

This is my favorite course when I am in Rehoboth. The pace was great. The greens are in solid condition even this late in the season with one exception...a moderate amount of baby crab grass on the aprons and sometimes on the green itself. The fairways are generally in good shape as are the tee boxes. There are some fun holes with pretty views. I am a solid bogey golfer and shot a 96.

Fun course

This is a nice course just north of the DE beaches. We played in August. Conditions were very good and course looked great. No complaints. Course is in better shape and prettier than Rookery North but more expensive to play. But I would still choose the South course.

Good resort town golf

We played on July Fourth in a beach town, so the pace was always going to be slow, but we finished in under five hours with me hacking my way to a 105, so not terrible all things considered. It being a public course in a vacation destination, there is some evidence of people not taking care of things (bunkers, greens, carts where they shouldn't be). I play here pretty much every summer, as it's relatively affordable to the time and place and a few holes provide interesting challenges.

Nice course. Only complaint was the pace of play took forever. Had a wait at every hole. I had to leave before finishing because of the time.
