Not Sure a Good Deal

Well arrived at the course early . Ask if no one was at the tee if I could go early the person at the pro shop said no. I ask why he said because of your deal. So I hit a bucket of balls and still no body at the first tee. This is almost 45 minutes. It's sad you get a deal but felt I was looked down upon because I had not paid enough. Maybe they should not have a deal. Finally I was able to start because one person 45 minutes after I got there was alone and asked if I wanted to join. Any how it's over no huge deal . They need to lighten up...

Porky Oliver of southern Delaware

Tee box okay. Greens were nice. Fairways were trash. Great layout. Tee times 9 minutes apart- lots of waiting between shots. No ranger to guide the slowski’s. $62 on a Saturday.

Needs work

Looks like the only thing they’re taking care of right now are the greens. The fairways are still dormant Bermuda and dirt with scattered green patches. The rest of the course is a combination of grass, weeds and a whole lot of clover that hasn’t been cut in a while. Hopefully once the Bermuda starts growing in the course will get better.

Great Greens, other parts of course need work

Purest greens I played in southern Delaware this year but the course itself needs some serious TLC

No grass

I am surprised that the course is open in the condition that it is in. No fairway had any grass other than old dead patches. Should have been told conditions before paying and starting round.

Needs some TLC and time.

This course is being brought back from the dead. The greens were in great shape but the fairways were awful. Played a couple other rounds on the shore whose fairways were in much better shape. I thought the price was high for what you were playing on. Staff was extremely friendly and will give it another shot once the fairways come in and you actually hit off grass.

Grass is dead, staff are clueless

Grass is dead (they’ll tell you it’s dormant but it’ll probably still be yellow come June), and pace of play is terrible. No ranger until the back 9 after all the hackers had left. You’re better off at just about any other course in the area if you’re looking for a sub 4 1/2 hour round or to have a single good lie all day. Would not recommend until maybe late summer or if they drop prices.

Conditions

I know the fairway grass is still dormant, but there were bare dirt spots in the fairways, where grass will never grow. Leaves & pods all over greens, if you didn’t clear your path 100%, you never got a true putt. Should have someone blow them once or twice a day. Tee boxes are beat up. Played with a woman whose red tees looked like they were placed haphazardly on dirt patches. Will try again when fairways grow in

Tee boxes in bad shape

Its early in the season so the Bermuda grass in the fairways is still dormant. That was understandable. The tee boxes were all in bad shape. The greens were slow. The sand traps were all in good shape. Just had the impression that maintenance is lacking. The layout is great. $50 was too high for the comditions

Beautiful Golf Course

I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this golf course is. The last I knew it was closed, whoever owes it now has spared no expense renovating it, it looks fantastic! Great job! My only complaint was the pace of play. But the restaurant there made up for that, again it was fantastic. Atmosphere, waitstaff and the food were all amazing! What a great day!

SDGC April 9 2026

Today it was Windy and Cold.

Fairways need more time, not good.

Putting Greens, very slow, need to be cut and rolled.

I will have to wait for about 1-2 months.

The facility is Excellent, best I have seen, Just need the course to catch up to it.

Good to play

Too early in the season to be critical:

Staff - friendly and offered accurate assessment of the current course conditions.

Fairways are still dormant from the winter so visually not green but the dormant white grass was very playable.

Greens were in good condition given the preseason conditions.

Not Ready for Spring Time Play

First time at course. We played from the Blues to get a little extra distance. Pretty easy course set up. Not much water or bunkers protecting greens. Major problem was the fairways. Grass was not grown in yet. Basically hit off of direct the entire time. Greens may have been recently aerated. Difficult to tell. Also greens were still wet at 11:30.
