Located in Naples, Fl, the Rookery is an exciting, test of golf. Measuring 7, 180 yards from the tips, the course has a rating of 75.1, 143 slope. Not the hardest course, but can play as difficult and long as anyplace. Even in the off season, the course was in perfect condition. The greens rolled fast and true, beautifully landscaped and very nice staff. All facilities were clean, and modern. The Rookery has everything that a golfer wants.
The Rookery features some extremely unique holes. Most holes bring water into play, and wind blows in all different directions. Memorable holes are the 578 yard par 5 ninth. This hole features water coming into play on the first and second shots. Shot making capabilities and distance come into play on this hole which offers a variety of different approaches. The 441 yard par 4 eighteenth is one of the best closing holes in Southwest Florida. A 220 yard drive is required to a heavily bunkered, peninsula fairway. Depending on the wind and landing area, a long iron is then required to be hit to a small green, tricky green over more water. A bailout area is to the right of the green, but be warned, a perfect pitch will be required to make par. Matches can be won or lost in a sudden twist on this majestic hole.
All and all, The Rookery at Marco is a must play course. Tee times ranging from $90- $150 make the course a great value for the money. From the moment you arrive at the course to the moment you leave, the friendly staff is there to help. Top notch course, mid range prices. Every club will be used, expect a true test.
