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.

Beautiful May Tuesday

Played in a twosome on a delightful Tuesday morning. Pro shop staff excellent. Tried to play it from the correct set of tees for me (one set forward). Pace was quick: 3.5 hours. Almost weirdly too quick, as a threesome behind us was somewhat ridiculous pushing us to play even faster. Hey, I’m just not that good a golfer! Didn’t matter though, course was in great shape, greens were fast. They have made the course more playable by thinning some of the bushes/foliage you have to carry and converting some bunkers to grass. Made it better for me. Highly recommend.

Great track and facilities

I’ve played here 4 times now and really like this course. Tee times include all the range balls you can hit, a great practice green, and a short game area with bunkers. The greens here are rolled and well maintained, so they are fast and smooth. Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. Overall one of the best values in the area.

Always a Pleasure

This is one of my favorite tracks It demands accurate shot-making and course management. They do a wonderful job of maintaining the course. Luke, in the Pro Shop, is always hospitable, even in the face of adversity.

The course was on a Frost Delay and many customers were not happy, but he handled the situation with tact and professionalism..

I always look forward to playing here.

A Jewel

Moved from NJ to DE about a year ago. Have played this course about 4 times. Challenging, but not impossible course. I have played as late as Black Friday two years in a row and found the course in excellent shape including the greens.

Every hole makes you think. You can't just grip it and rip it. Every staff member listens to you, has time for you and wants you to be happy that you are there.

I agree, this is a public course with a private course vibe. It's worth trying out if you haven't played here.

Might be the toughest course I have played. Course condition is one of the best that

The course is in very good condition. It's a challenging course. Almost every hole has one or two hazard neat tee box or close to the green. Need good strategy to play this course. The staff are very nice.

Likely due to number of players on the course and also the number of underprepared golfers, the pace was not good. I plan to play this course again during a weekend.
