Complimentary transport is provided between the JW Marriott Marco Island Resort and its two associated golf courses, Hammock Bay (6 mi) and The Rookery at Marco Island (9 mi).
Rookery at Marco
Part of Marriott's Marco Island Golf Resort, The Rookery at Marco Golf Club is home to a well-rated championship golf course. You'll need to stay at the Marriott Marco Island if you want to play this course, which is generally reserved for members and resort-guests only.
Appropriately named The Rookery, the golf course nestles in shallow wetlands that attract many species of birds. At more than 7,100 yards in length, the Bob Cupp renovated layout includes generous fairways, oversized and receptive greens, and excellent conditioning.
This tree-lined and open parkland layout should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course.
Stay&Play at Marco Island: luxury nearby accommodation available (9 mi), see Where2Stay section below.
Resort guests staying at JW Marriott Marco Island Resort can book to play on weekdays and weekends. No outside visitor play available.
Must contact in advance.
Golf carts are fitted with GPS. Walking permitted after 4pm.
