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.

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.
