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.

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.
