Great course, good value

Play this course when I am in town. There is no lack of great courses in the area but peak season those run in the $200 plus price range. The Rook is well maintained, greens are consistent, holes are plenty challenging. Seems to have an active membership which helps with maintaining greens; higher proportion of players repair their ballmarks compared to other public courses.

Naples Golfer

A surprising decent course here in Delaware. Got a super price and decided to try it. I'd recommend it for a public course.

Great Course

Short public course from tips. But greens, fairways & tee boxes were in amazing shape. Grounds crew, this one’s for you - WELL DONE.

Enjoyable Round

I played with my wife and a friend on a beautiful day when the course was surpringly not crowded. So we had a nice relaxing round with no waiting. The course was overall in very good condition, especially the fairways, which were excellent. The greens were good, but not great. I suspect they were impacted by lots of play the preceding weekend, with numerous unrepaired divots.

Fun course!

We had a great time on the course today. Conditions were very windy but that didn’t stop us from going out. It was our first time playing here and really enjoyed the layout. Open course with water hazards and bunkers. Staff was friendly and welcoming. A bathroom on the back nine would be helpful while enjoying some adult beverages. The Rookery was very well maintained. Golf carts have a digital screen with all of the information one could use. We will be back.

Basic course

Nothing substantial with the course. For a regular round it’s overpriced. We played twilight rate which should be the regular rate in my opinion. Nice and green and in good condition.
