White Clay Creek Country Club at Delaware Park is a challenging but playable layout that is well known amongst locals. At just over 7,000 yards, the golf course offers a fair amount of challenges. Water hazards come into play on most holes, demanding several difficult forced carries. There are also some spots on the course that can be quite narrow. The terrain is mostly flat but the layout provides enough diversity to appeal to both low and high handicappers. White Clay Creek has a strong reputation not only for the golf course but also for its various amenities, which give it the feel of a private club. Staff assists you with getting your clubs to and from your car and use of the driving range and chipping green are included in the reasonable fee.

This course has some challenges

On that day, golf carts path only, there was no GPS fairway navigation on the cart, and it was our first time playing this golf course, so we felt a little bit in convenient. The red tee is very friendly to ladies, for men the fairways of the golf course are somewhat difficult, a lots of water and ditches, but the greens are not difficult.

Great Variety

Course was in great shape for December. Really enjoyed the variety throughout the round. Lots of water, but generally pretty forgiving off the tee. Will definitely be back in the summer.

Great course!

My father and I had a blast playing this course. We are not used to the customer service we got the minute we showed up. And this was 1 guy running the pro-shop, and directing golfers/setting up carts and bags. That's a good employee right there. Only thing I could recommend is definitely lowering the price a bit because I think literally everyone could benefit from more ability to play. The pace was a bit behind but so controlled that it wasn't too long before we were back on the t-box. Outstanding course, and when funds are available, we will play again!

Winter play

I love this club!

As they start to winterize, the amenities begin to dissipate, Balls at the driving range, being able to wash your golf balls and get a drink of water.

Course is interesting, tough but fair. Overall conditions were excellent. For the high handicapper this course might be a little too tricky. Many carries over creeks and water comes into play a lot. It's a penal design and your drives and iron shots need to be straigh. For the better player this course is a good challenge that won't ever bore you..I'd put it on my play list for sure

I think if you played more than once a week you would know there are messages on course/cart that tell you it will be at least a 4.5 hour round. Pay more attention to context clues! Also maybe focus on the game more get rid of that slice!

Shotmakers Course

This isn’t just a big hitters course where long hits result in a good score. Nearly every shot on this course requires accurate distance as well as accurate aim. The majority of fairways don’t simply continue from tee to green, they all have a creek or high grass to clear or lay up before. Bunkers are all strategically placed so you can’t just blast shots without good aim to avoid them.Greens were all fast and true. This late in the season, there is a good bit of divots out there and a few ball marks on the greens, but some of the weekday rates are awesome for this caliber of course. Free grass range and a couple nice chipping greens make early arrival a smart move. Only downside is cart path only for longer than most other courses after a rain. Good idea to call ahead if uncertain

Always Great

This course never disappoints. Now that we’re into the fall, it’s easy to get an afternoon tee time and move through very quickly. Played 18 by myself in just under 3 hours. If I had to complain, tee boxes are showing signs of wear, but we are late into the season with lots of play.

A must play in Delaware...

Great course and facility overall. I played mid-day on a weekday for $55 - that was a steal for this course. I can see why they can charge upwards of $100 for the weekend. Challenging layout with forced carries and doglegs. A course you need to play more than once because it's deceptive.
