Rehoboth Beach Staple Course

Located right on US 1 10 miles North of Rehoboth Beach, DE, this course is a favorite for either a first round or last round of many golf trips! Pretty much a wide open layout, so you would think there isnt too much trouble to be had. Not true. If the winds are over 10 mph, it plays havoc with your approach shots. Fairways, tee boxes and greens were in great shape. Greens played faster and are more challenging with the array of pin placements than the last time I was here many years ago. Three putting is common here unless you know the course very well. Always a good value for the money here compared to other courses in the region.

Slow play, nice course

Challenging course, some water, environmentals, and sand. Pace was very slow, lots of golfers out on a beautiful day. Greens were tough due to short grass and pin placements
