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.

A must play in Delaware...

Great course and facility overall. I played mid-day on a weekday for $55 - that was a steal for this course. I can see why they can charge upwards of $100 for the weekend. Challenging layout with forced carries and doglegs. A course you need to play more than once because it's deceptive.

Great and scenic round

Tough course to play with Cart Path Only conditions. GPS in cart is useless then, and few on course markings to use. I always, Always, prefer a course with at least a 150 yard marker to the center. It's not that hard to add, even in these days of rangefinders (takes much of the "game" out of the game). Good view, lots of semi hidden doglegs, straight and somewhat easy 3's, great restaurant 19th hole

Gorgeous course, target golf

Beautiful course, huge layout, impossible to walk. Staff were all top notch, course was immaculate, greens were fast and hard to read. Carts with gps were super helpful for a first time round. Bring balls. You will lose them, there’s water and trees on most holes.

Never disappointed

Got an afternoon tee time at $50 It was well worth the almost hour trip for me. The staff was extremely friendly. The course was in pristine shape and the course beat me up but I enjoyed it. I played from the black tees and it was a shot makers dream. A lot of placement golf and the greens rolled beautifully and fast. I will probably visit again to try and improve on my score

Horrible creeks

Too many meaningless creeks! There are no places to send balls from tee boxes as well as fairways.

Fun by the track!

Great course with some serious tech shots in places. Love the long drive through the woods from home 3 to 4. Very strange layout there but very relaxing ride and some time to enjoy and take in the beautiful and wooded setting on your way.

Great course- conditions better than most high end private clubs

We went out at 8:20 as a twosome. Chance of rain, not many players that morning. I’ve heard 5+ hour rounds there. We were less than 3.5 hours. The source was a great test of accuracy off the tee and lay up shots. From the back tees, would be insanely hard. Arthur Hills course, he was a phenomenal architect. The practice facility is also top tier.

HOT

I love this golf course. I played alone today, but felt I was getting personal service from the cart young lady. It was a very hot day, and she was there for all of my hydrating needs!
