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.

Don’t bother riding a cart

Course was dry as could be and was cart path only. Pace of play was impossible to keep walking back and forth to cart and ball. Layout so far apart driving to each hole was obnoxious

Stole another day at the Creek.

Great day at WCC. Greens were firm and fast. Play it from the back for your most enjoyment. Grab a bite to eat at the bar before you hit the road. Nice place to spend the day.

Worth the price

I enjoy playing this course. It’s target golf so leave your driver in the bag.
The conditions were great considering we need rain. Staff are super helpful and the practice area is great so get there early.

Great course , expansive layout

First time playing this course. My round was midweek mid-afternoon, so rate was much less than premium time.

The recommended pace of play is 4.5 hours, mostly due the expansiveness of the course as it winds around a preserve and Delaware race track. IMO it would be impossible to walk this course and maintain pace of play with other foursomes in carts. The distance between a few holes was the longest I've ever ridden. I was second-guessing whether I was actually on the right path. But it's a beautiful ride and course, very scenic (I even spotted a few foxes).

The layout is challenging, especially from the 2 back tees due to the distances. The course was in country club shape, with very nice greens. It requires a lot of strategy due to the natural areas throughout the course. You can't just expect to bomb it and hope for the best. There's little relief from poor shots around the greens as the wooded scrub areas are close and unforgiving. Bring some extra balls, and then some additional extras.

A tip: Bring cash for on-course beverage purchases.

White Clay Creek

First time at this course. Didn’t play as well as I should but will go back again . After playing will know how to aim for better placed shots. Many amenities are included with the price, that cost extra. If you have the chance to play around it is worth the time.

Poorly managed

Plan on a 6 hour round. Pace is not managed both on the course or by the starter. On the 4th hole, they asked me to give up my cart (I was a single) and join someone else… who quit after 9 due to pace. 10 tee is not anywhere near the clubhouse causing me to only play nine by default. The layout is nice, could be a great place if management was any good.
