Great golf at the Rookery

All of the Rookery staff was very nice and helpful. The golf course was in the best condition possible and the day could not have been better. We played in less than four hours and enjoyed our experience at The Rookery.

Don't order practice balls online

Had a good round. The course was nice. Greens and fairways were meticulously maintained. The staff was nice enough but would not honor my purchase of range balls that I had made on my Golf Now app. Claimed that they had told GN to stop offering that option, but it was there and as far as I’m concerned someone took my $9 for balls that I didn't get.

Great weather for a great round of golf

The Rookery golf course was in good shape even with the lack of rain for the past month. The staff for the course were friendly and helpful. I would recommend the Rookery golf course to everyone I know.

A fun course with interesting challenges.

At first tee, Rockery looks like any other golf course. Plenty of long fairways to appeal to the long ball hitter, but some interesting challenges for the old man (like me) who plays from the more forward tees. The random dog legs keep you honest while the well placed water hazards demand some strategy. I wish there was a little more elevation change, but this is Delaware.

Been playing Rookery off and for 30 years and always look forward to it!

I like it as a beginner

The course is flat and open so the holes were challenging but less intimidating. Water features were incorporated nicely into the course and made for challenging holes. Will play again.

Be sensible

Probably had to take less than driver on 50% of par 4s. Challenging but fair. Good for the money around Bethany. Pace of play was 4 hours with 730am tee time on a Sunday.

Nice day at the golf course

Greens in great shape. Only drawback was that a very slow twosome held up 3 some and 4 some behind them on the back nine.
