With our Members first, RBCC will always strive to be the foremost private country club on the Delmarva Peninsula. We are committed to providing a welcoming environment while enjoying our scenic location, amenities and programs. We show appreciation and support to the dedicated Talon Tribe members that are second to none and aspire to be the employer of choice.
As stewards of Rehoboth Beach Country Club, we ensure our multi-generational Members a stronger future through encouraging enduring friendship, maintaining sound fiscal management, celebrating old and new traditions and inspiring innovation. We deliver the musthave membership experience at the most desired waterfront destination.
We embrace the idea that we, as Members, have a responsibility to care for the well-being of RBCC today and for the future. We take these responsibilities seriously and drive excellence in everything we do. We expect our leaders to be accountable and insist these individuals lead by example.
Caring is a powerful word. When we care, we engage, commit, are attentive, kind, honest, respectful and responsive. We have integrity and a passion for good. When we care, others want to be around us and importantly, caring inspires more care!
With outstanding stewardship and true caring, we create a sense of community. This reaches across everyone – Members, families, leadership and the Talon Tribe. Together, we have a strong sense of purpose and enjoy each other’s company. We communicate fully and respect others‘ differences and points of view.
Vision is powering up our imagination to create a mental picture that guides us to something new, innovative and sustainable for RBCC’s future. Having vision is forward thinking, exciting and should benefit the greater good for all Members, our campus and the Talon Tribe.

At the direction of the Board and Golf Committee, the Golf Staff will enforce this policy using Starters, Player Assistants, and Golf Professionals. The Board and Golf Committee thank all members and guests in advance for their cooperation.
To improve all member and guest experience on the Golf Course, the Golf Committee has developed the following policy regarding the pace of play on the golf course:
A player assistant will help monitor the pace of play on the golf course. If a group falls behind the player assistant has the right to address the group and make it known where they are in relation to their pace of play. The player assistant will ask the group to catch up on their time which could include skipping a hole. In the absence of a player assistant, the professional staff will monitor the pace on the course
Initial Pace Warning Letter: If a group does not regain proper placement on the course and plays their round over four hours and twenty minutes, a letter will be sent from the Golf Committee as an initial warning to each member of the group
Second Pace Warning Letter: Any member receiving a second letter from the Golf Committee, due to a second round over four hours and twenty minutes, will result in the committees right to limit the time-of-day members in violation can schedule a starting time (Ex. After 1:00PM).
In general, and part of Golf Etiquette, when possible, a slower group should defer their position to a faster group allowing the faster group to “play through.” This offer should be made at the earliest and most appropriate opportunity. (Even if the expected pace of play is being upheld by the slower group.)
Please also consult with our PGA Professionals about the many helpful ways to speed up play The intent of this program is to make the game of golf more enjoyable for all members and guests
