What are the top public golf courses in Delaware?
It depends who you ask. In the case of GolfPass' annual Golfers Choice ranking lists, you are the expert, along with thousands of your fellow golfers.
We compile our annual Golfers' Choice lists by analyzing the ratings and reviews submitted by members of our community - golfers like you - throughout the previous year. We use GolfPass' Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course's subcategory averages. Courses must offer public access and have received at least three reviews in 2023 to be eligible for this year's list. If you want to play any of these courses, hover your browser over the course photo and if tee times are available, you can click to book directly.

The 10 best public golf courses in Delaware
-
Plantation Lakes Golf and Country Club
![Plantation Lakes GCC: #11]()
Millsboro, DelawareSemi-PrivateGreen fee: $70
What they're saying: "Need to have Marshall out there. It took 5:15 hours to play. There was a hole and a half open in front of the group in front of us. Had a rude twosome that hit up on us twice. One of them lived there in the neighborhood so they should know better. Otherwise always enjoy the course. They ask way too much however but through the hot deals it makes it doable." - u314159777615 -
White Clay Creek Country Club at Delaware Park
Wilmington, DelawarePublicGreen fee: $55
What they're saying: "Course was in great shape for December. Really enjoyed the variety throughout the round. Lots of water, but generally pretty forgiving off the tee. Will definitely be back in the summer." - terpfan2012 -
The Rookery South
Green fee: $45
What they're saying: "The course has come back from aeration well! Greens in great shape! Fairways were also very good! Pace of play was fastest That I have ever experienced!" - StanZabytko -
Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club
Ocean View, DelawarePublicGreen fee: $59
What they're saying: "I don’t often get to play out during the summer because of the rates going so extremely high however, through Golf now this course is extremely affordable and in great shape for the winter. I truly wish all courses around here would offer rates to residents of Delaware, so that the locals could play all year round at affordable rates." - u314159777615 -
Heritage Shores Golf
Green fee: $55
What they're saying: "Course recently aerated and sand applied. Traps are more clay than sand. That being said, the staff is fantastic. The course is beautiful with lots of water, hills and traps. The neighborhood is gorgeous and the residents very friendly. Great place." - Kevin9556417 -
Baywood Greens
![Baywood Greens: #15]()
Green fee: $39
What they're saying: "One of the best courses I’ve played, but definitely the best course I’ve played in the Delaware beach area. Each hole was distinct and visually beautiful. If the rough was in better shape, this course would have been perfect. If you’re willing to spend a little over $100, this is the course to play." - u000007305334 -
Jonathan's Landing Golf Club

What they're saying: "We have played here 5 times now, when the greens are not aerated they are VERY FAST. (When they are) aerated (they are) still OK. You gave to play to a proper spot or you're going to a difficult day." - CustomGloves -
Frog Hollow Golf Club

What they're saying: "Have played here many times and enjoy the course. The Staff are very friendly and helpful. Course is challenging, but if you keep it in play you can score well. Greens are fast, a must play." - u000006030647 -

These greens fees are way off!! Troon has a monopoly in Delaware and they gouge their customers!! Baywood Greens is over $100 per round...not sure where you got your numbers from, but they are materially off!
