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.

Good course for GolfNow Hot Deal

Golf course was OK given that green fees and cart was a hot deal. Otherwise, it is not worth the full price. Overall layout was good but greens weee sliw and unpredictable.

Great pace of play

Granted an early tee time - 0733 - but got around in less than 4 hours which is unusual at the beach. Course was in very nice shape. Only drawback was there was no staff for the bar/concession area so no way to purchase water/Gatorade for the round. Didn't see a cart person until the 18th hole

Rookery Early Morning Golf

Great course for a fun and challenging foursome to start your morning. Several long holes and a few challenging dog legs . The course was in great condition. Greens were faster than expected. Easy access off Route 1 .

Decent Course-Rude Staff

Starter was pleasant but person at pro shop not so much. Showed up 10 mins prior to tee time ready to play and was considered late. We were a 2-some and they had 4-some with a later tee time pass us due to or “tardiness” we waited at each hole as surprisingly the pace for 2 was quicker than the pace for 4, go figure.

Good course

Fast greens, decent fairways, thick rough. Some holes are a little tricked up. Not my first choice to play but an okay alternative. They charge the same price throughout the day which is overpriced for the later rounds.
