House garage electrical question (ground rods)

To use ground rods or not?
I have seen the answer both ways .
In my old home the inspector made me install the rods in the shop.
Here it's a question mark.
The house panel is grounded.
I ran 240 from it to the garage and installed a subpanel.
So the hype is- if it is grounded, it is correct.
Also, it's bad, as it sidesteps the house panel.
Is there a real answer?
thank you.
