About The Rookery

The Rookery in Milton Delaware is one of the mid-Atlantic region most celebrated public golf destinations, featuring 36 holes across two distinct championship courses — The Rookery North and The Rookery South — situated along the Broadkill River estuary in Sussex County. Designed by T. Scott Young with a distinctive coastal inland character, the courses blend wooded corridors, wetland features, and open meadow sections that create memorable variety across both 18-hole layouts. The Rookery has earned consistent national rankings and is considered among the top 5 public courses in Delaware, drawing serious golfers from the greater Philadelphia and Baltimore markets as well as from the Delaware beach vacation crowd. The complex includes exceptional practice facilities and a welcoming clubhouse. Milton location between the Delaware beaches and Dover makes it an ideal stop on any Delaware golf trip.
