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.

Always tough

My playing partner said to me on the 16th fairway “ I have had 3-4 flat lies, not on a green all day!” Elevation and doglegs. Greens are fast. Bunkers have a thin layer of sand. 85-90% tee to green wonderful. Tough par 3s. I like what they have done to the greens. Opened up the front of the greens that allow the ball to run up and on. Always one of the best in new castle county.

Course was in great shape, great quality for round hot deal $51... Got paired with beginners, not their fault but that was that.

Very hilly course. Not a lot of flat lies. Few Challenging layouts. Not a long course. Would recommend, not dying to go back.
