Winter Golf

For winter standards, the course was in great shape. Pace of play was <4 hours. Fairways and greens were in good shape. Happy to find a course where the greens were NOT aerated.

Fun course, but the cold wind beat us.

It's late November, so just great to be out there. Course was in good shape and greens ran true.

The heavy rain and blustery winds came in after the 8th hole so we had to quit. Now appreciate the downside of the hot deal - saved $6 but no rain check😀. Hope to play again.

Quick Twilight 9

I was in the area for vacation. The Rookery offered a quick, reasonably priced option for a quick 9. Although the nearby highway is visible and audible on several holes, fairways and greens were in good condition. Routing and a few holes are somewhat quirky in spots, but overall the course was a nice fit for the daylight I had left.

User friendly

The course is always in good shape. The staff maintains it very well. It has holes that can be tough and play long(usually windy), but also has holes you can make strokes up on. This is always a plus , especially for average golfers so as not to completely frustrate us. I enjoy playing here and would highly recommend it to others.

Great Value when you get a Hot Deal!

Fist time back in many months. New driving range is great. New balls would be nice. Course is in great condition right now! If you can get a hot deal it’s worth it! Not sure who in their right mind would ever pay over $70 to play here. Even in the summer. The courses in Southern Delaware should be a shamed that they jack up the prices to take advantage of visitors. I have played all over and there is not one course worth that kind of asking price. NONE are TPC worthy which justify costing over $100.
