The Rookery Golf Club

This Pete Dye design carved through Delaware's coastal plain delivers his signature brand of strategic torture with railroad ties, pot bunkers, and water lurking on thirteen holes. The par-3 17th island green demands Tiger-level precision over marshland, while the closing hole's carry over wetlands separates weekend warriors from single-digit handicaps. Despite Dye's reputation for punishment, generous fairways reward aggressive drives and the putting surfaces roll pure enough to forgive the occasional three-putt.
