About
Deerfield Golf Club in Newark, Del., is a 145-acre public course, billed as a “natural treasure.” The 18-hole championship course gets the moniker thanks to its surroundings -- the ancient forest of White Clay Creek State Park. The 145-acre play, acquired by the state of Delaware in 2005, is a par-70, 6,323-yard golf course that features rolling terrain, smooth bent grass putting surfaces and scenic vistas. The mix of memorable, distinctive holes adds to the difficulty, as does the memorable, heavily wooded setting and dramatic elevation changes. Before or after your round at Deerfield Golf Club, enjoy the large putting green, full-service practice range, or lighted tennis and paddleball courts.

Even better for a deal
Deerfield is probably one of the few places I’d THINK about paying full price. For the Hot deals available, I recommend everyone playing here.
Lots of elevation changes and bunkers guarding greens may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but consistently above average conditions and service make any chance to play Deerfield worth it.
Everything was as expected. 90% all around. Greens were fast , FAST! My gripe is bunkers. Looked like no maintenance in weeks. After going in my first one and trying to play out,( and not doing it on my first try ) I decided I had to rake up a spot to play my next 3 shots. Players shouldn’t have to do that.
Even tho it’s generally a longer round to play ( almost 5 hours for us ) I’ll always return a few times a year.
Still like a private CC
Second round here and nothing changed including the staffs clear desire to make this place like it was
A private high end club
Kudos to all involved in the golf course
You are successful at what you do to keep this course to a high level
I haven’t yet been inside the vast amenities but this was probably the club to be a member at
Want to be treated as member
Play here
Kudos
It may be short on the scorecard but it sure plays long the course is very challenging and in great condition my only complaint is the bunkers they need real sand but we’ll definitely will be back
Like an old Pete Dye set up
Moved to De recently so I venture out to find the area’s golf.
This place is a find. Definitely a prior private course. The building is aging and so is the course. The course is the better for it.
Goly this place is fun if you like to move the ball. The changes in elevation were a real treat since my last stop was in Savannah Ga, it’s flat and HOT. The greens are a blast and where you drop the ball on the green makes a difference between each hole.The members clearly have an advantage over the non members.
I look forward to playing this course several more times.
Kudos the staff for keeping this place up to Private club levels
Horn blew and was not offered a rain check.Paid for 18 holes played 9 doesn’t seem worth it to me.
Solid Course
Tough track due to the hills. Well kept and a fun course. A lot of greens are heavily guarded by bunkers and did I mention the hills? Definitely challenging but for the right reasons would 100% recommend.
Great Greens and Hills
Deerfield is a great course with great greens. But before you play I recommend you practice your side hill lie shots !
Starter was great as well as the club house staff .
Very enjoyable experience .
Too much elevation changes
Course is nice and well kept but I am not going back because of to much elevations changes. Takes fun out of game. More about hills rather than golf. Not my type
