1st time
This was the first time I played this course, it was a very hot day and I hadn’t played around a golf in over two years due to injury, the course is quite forgiving, greens were fast. The day was very hot and a note for next time hire a buggy, will definitely come again.Reviewer Rating

Winter golf
Great public course, interesting layout with some very nice holes, quite boggy in places but to be expected in the winter. Greens in good condition, loads of unrepaired pitch marks which is always disappointing to see.Holes 2, 7, 10, 11 and 15 are the probably the stand out holes for me.
Added bonus of a half way hut.

Nice course layout
Haven't played here for over a year, still a decent course in reasonable condition. Enjoyed an evening round with the 7 8 9 triangle being the highlight. Halfway house was shut but I got through it.Reviewer Rating

First time here. Got lost between several holes as signposting is poor, and there?s also no yardage markers anywhere. That aside, it's an excellent course with interesting holes and contoured greens. I?ll be back, but only with a yardage gizmo thing.Reviewer Rating

Great Course
The course is Parkland, it's not a hard course so is good for all types of golfers, easy to walk and has a halfway hut for refreshments if required and also buggies for those that can't manage the walk. The fairways are quite forgiving and a few bunkers dotted about and offers a few challenges. Course is in good condition considering the wet weather and is very easy to get too. It is well worth a visit and also they small Par 3 course for pitch and put and footgolf and why not pop into the clubhouse after where you can have breakfast, lunch, etc and all the staff are very friendly and helpful nothing is too much trouble.Reviewer Rating

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.

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.
