What the club says: Owned by Horsham District Council and managed by The Country Club Group, this impressive Pay & Play facility offers an excellent 18 hole course and a 9 hole Pitch & Putt course as well as an attractive Golf Centre incorporating The Sussex Barn function venue.Located just off the A24 Horsham bypass, the course is found in a picturesque setting and has the benefit of being close to Horsham town centre.

Awful Course

We played Rookwood course recently and were charged £35 to play on a completely unplayable course. The course was boggy mud all the way round and the fairways hadn't been cut for weeks (even though most areas were mud, not grass).

They had no interest in enforcing pace of play either. The round was so incredibly slow, we gave up after 16 holes. This isn't helped by the fact that the back 9 has several par 3's and a short par 4 in quick succession, creating heavy congestion. Avoid this course.

Also saw the guy working in the halfway house empty the bit outside with his bare hands and then go back into the hut to continue working with food, without washing his hands or wearing gloves. Don't eat at the halfway house.

It's been a bit wet of late!

Much as there can't be much more rain in the sky to come down!, Rookwood remains open much of the time, greens in great condition albeit they're a bit slow.

Lovely variation on each hole and really good value. Clubhouse could do with a modernization and i wish they offered some sort of flexible membership

Rookwood

Not played for years but it’s a lovely park/woodland course, not long nor overly difficult but has some interesting holes.
Greens are in poor condition with patches of different grasses making putting trickier than it needs to be and it looks bad.
Paid £30 which I think is a bit punchy which probably explains why we could get on at short notice.

A very relaxed and friendly course and staff. A good challenge for all levels - a pretty flat course with no real up and down hills. Water provides the biggest challenge around the course with a few holes where water must be negotiated. Back nine is widely considered the greater challenge than the front nine. An enjoyable round of golf all round with a great breakfast/ food offering and a good halfway hut.

Rookwwod is a good quality public course. Holes are all relatively straight but there are hazards that make them challenging and the rough is very long so will eat any stray shots.

Even Noah would have struggled to get round lately, the course was still open most of the time, greens very satisfactory and it'll only get better with drier conditions.
