Type Public
Par 70
Length 6323 yards
Slope 136
Rating 71.6

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.

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

Ups and downs

Challenging hills and sloped fairways, beneficial to have played the course before or play with someone who has.

Grounds crew did an excellent job keeping leaves at bay under windy conditions.

Greens had late aeration but rolled fairly well some faster than others. Fairways, collars and approaches in great shape.

Overall 4.5 stars for the great condition, lost 1/2 for the greens
