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.

Great amenities and friendly staff

the staff were all amazing and the food and drinks were as well. $90 for the round seems a bit overpriced. Should be in the $60 range. The course feels like I am in the mountains of West Virginia and not Delaware. The carts were nice though too.

Every bit of the 133 slope

This course is supposed to be the Delaware track with the most changes in elevation. Job done! Challenging from tee to green. The course was an excellent condition and forces you to think about every shot. Beautifully laid out in a true Nicklaus style that rewards good shots and punishes poor ones. Staff was friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back.

Not worth it

Disappointed in this course. Unfair layout and blind shots on basically every hole. Other then tee boxes you will not find a flat spot. Every shot is on a slope. Greens weren’t that nice. Shaggy.

Save your money and play white clay down the street
