White Clay Creek Country Club at Delaware Park is a challenging but playable layout that is well known amongst locals. At just over 7,000 yards, the golf course offers a fair amount of challenges. Water hazards come into play on most holes, demanding several difficult forced carries. There are also some spots on the course that can be quite narrow. The terrain is mostly flat but the layout provides enough diversity to appeal to both low and high handicappers. White Clay Creek has a strong reputation not only for the golf course but also for its various amenities, which give it the feel of a private club. Staff assists you with getting your clubs to and from your car and use of the driving range and chipping green are included in the reasonable fee.

tough but beautiful

White Clay Creek is a tough course. It is also a good looking course. If you play on a cart path only day prepare yourself for alot of walking. some of the normal white tee boxes were closed for the winter so you had to move up to the green ones. Green were in excellent shape. Because of rain the day before balls would plug into the fairway and couldn't be found.

Great experience

Course was in great shape. Challenging but enjoyable. Lots of water. Staff was very friendly. They didn’t really regulate start times so we were backed up most of the day.

Wind and winter conditions

First time playing this course. My lack of length coupled with winter’s ball flight, windy conditions and fast greens all screamed move up a tee box!

Winter Play

For winter conditions, course was in great shape. We had a frost delay, they take this very seriously, keep this in consideration for your timing. They shotgunned us off because of the delay and everyone in our tee time window completed their rounds quickly. Included balls on the range are always a huge plus. Chipping green appeared to be closed.

Staff lies

Had a 4 some booked and the morning of the tee time (2 1/2 hours before the tee time) one of the 4 had a family emergency and couldn’t make it. I called the course right after I heard from him (2 1/2 hours before the tee time) and they said “no problem, we will adjust it and we will see you soon” I get there and go up to the counter to check in for the tee time and they still charged me for the person because “that’s the original number of players booked in the tee time”. I’ll never play here again, rather bring my business elsewhere. Why tell me a lie over the phone, I just don’t understand it.

Not everyone will get this experience, sorry

With the Hot Deal and rewards from past hot deals I paid $32 with a cart to go mid afternoon on a Thursday. Nobody else was in my tee time so I played solo. The threesome in front of me let me play thru no issues after a few holes, eventually caught the group in front of them and rode it out for the last few holes. Still played under 4 hrs 15.

Greens are some of the best you’ll find on a public course. I few spots need some TLC on the course but every course has a few. GPS on cart, short range area, grass range, true practice green. Valet bag to and from the parking lot. Signage on the course can leave you to get turned around in a couple spots if you aren’t sure where you’re going. Water jugs were on course as well as cart (she even accepted Venmo if you left cash in the car like an idiot).

Some fun golf holes, and shots that you get to play with the green speeds. Very good target golf course; if you spray and pray then you’ll have a rough time. A few sizeable forced carry shots that would make a mid to high handicap a long day.

For the value of the Hot deal price, unbelievable. I’ll keep coming back to burn rewards here. For a weekend peak price and a 5 hour round? I’m not paying that much to do that anywhere.
