Rating 75.0

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.

Gorgeous course, target golf

Beautiful course, huge layout, impossible to walk. Staff were all top notch, course was immaculate, greens were fast and hard to read. Carts with gps were super helpful for a first time round. Bring balls. You will lose them, there’s water and trees on most holes.

Never disappointed

Got an afternoon tee time at $50 It was well worth the almost hour trip for me. The staff was extremely friendly. The course was in pristine shape and the course beat me up but I enjoyed it. I played from the black tees and it was a shot makers dream. A lot of placement golf and the greens rolled beautifully and fast. I will probably visit again to try and improve on my score

Fun by the track!

Great course with some serious tech shots in places. Love the long drive through the woods from home 3 to 4. Very strange layout there but very relaxing ride and some time to enjoy and take in the beautiful and wooded setting on your way.

Staff lies

Had a 4 some booked and the morning of the tee time (2 1/2 hours before the tee time) one of the 4 had a family emergency and couldn’t make it. I called the course right after I heard from him (2 1/2 hours before the tee time) and they said “no problem, we will adjust it and we will see you soon” I get there and go up to the counter to check in for the tee time and they still charged me for the person because “that’s the original number of players booked in the tee time”. I’ll never play here again, rather bring my business elsewhere. Why tell me a lie over the phone, I just don’t understand it.

Horrible creeks

Too many meaningless creeks! There are no places to send balls from tee boxes as well as fairways.

Great course- conditions better than most high end private clubs

We went out at 8:20 as a twosome. Chance of rain, not many players that morning. I’ve heard 5+ hour rounds there. We were less than 3.5 hours. The source was a great test of accuracy off the tee and lay up shots. From the back tees, would be insanely hard. Arthur Hills course, he was a phenomenal architect. The practice facility is also top tier.
