Fun Course!

I have play the Rookery many times over the past 20 years. Great layout for what they offer. Not extremely difficult, but certainly has it challanges and allows you to use every club in your bag. They have done a great job updating course and ammenities in recent years.

Fairways and Greens

Fairways and Greens are in great shape.

Greens roll nice a little fast.

Fairways like carpet.

Great vacation course

Played here last year and it was another fun round. Great course with a challenging layout. It’s a bit expensive but if you want to play at a course close to Rehoboth Beach area, this is a go to. Course was a bit crowded but pace of play was good. Most amenities are what you’d expect and are comparable to other courses. I really enjoy playing here.

Fun layout

The layout was great. The weather was very breezy. It seemed that the trouble was right in the landing zone of my drives from the White tees. It made club selection all around challenging.Overall is was very good.

Good Golf Experience

Nice course with interesting layout. Mostly wide open fairways in good condition. Greens are fast but true. Good value, especially if you can get a Golfnow discount!

A course I continue to revisit.

It’s been a year since I played The Rookery and I will continue to return. The improved driving range is a nice addition. The course is in good shape and the greens are always true. I’ve been paired with many different individuals here over the years and they have all been positive experiences.

Nice course for the money

Tee boxes, fairways and greens in good shape. Rough is too long; hard to find balls there, especially on 200+ yd drives that go astray. Some nice hazards. Friendly staff.
