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.

Nice track
A lot of dog legs and very hilly greens rolled true. Nice track
Beautiful course.
A lot of up and down holes. Keeps you entertained.
Great course
Very good condition. Very challenging golf course and hilly.
This golf course was excellent!
Deerfield is one of the top public golf courses in upstate Delaware with extremely friendly staff. The golf course offers hills to play on in a very flat state! The golf courses maintenance makes it well worth the money.
Deerfield is definitely one of Delaware’s top public golf courses
Deerfield is definitely competing to be one of Delaware’s top public golf courses in the state! The golf course layout is amazing. One of the only courses in the flat state of Delaware where you can play golf on hills! The first thing I notice at Deerfield was how friendly the staff was to everyone. It actually surprised me feeling this welcomed at a golf course I have never played before. The pace of play was amazing they definitely have their spacing for play right on the money. Talking about money, Deerfield is definitely worth the money to play. The course maintenance was great compared to other golf courses in the area. The rough was cut short enough to find your ball and the greens were challenging. I’m overall very impressed with Deerfield and will definitely be back to play more soon! I highly recommend playing this course if you are in the area.
Up and Down
Found the course pretty difficult. Layout was good. But, there isn’t a level lie on the course.
Tough but fiar
Great course to test all aspects of your game. Friendly staff, good restaurant, and decent pace of play. Always well maintained.
Beautiful and challenging course
This course has a great staff who are very helpful and competent. They keep the rate of play reasonable and work with guests at the course. It is a beautiful course that is also challenging. amenities are amazing.
Always one of the best in the area
Everything is lush at Deerfield right now. When you get a hot deal, even on a hot day in July, you take advantage!!
I’ve been playing well lately, but knew going in that my score would be going today. With very few flat lies ANYWHERE. On the course, Deerfield is a hard course for the average golfer to break 100. I shot 7-10 shots over my average today, but was completely happy to play here.
95% all around, even the bunkers! Gotta have 1 complaint, no water and the cart girl stopped an hour after we teed off at 1 . Definitely recommend and will definitely return. If you go,, bring your A+++ game and good luck!!
Good course
Great conditions. Friendly staff. Pace of play slightly off. Excellent value
