White Clay Creek Country Club at Delaware Park

Played in a twosome on a delightful Tuesday morning. Pro shop staff excellent. Tried to play it from the correct set of tees for me (one set forward). Pace was quick: 3.5 hours. Almost weirdly too quick, as a threesome behind us was somewhat ridiculous pushing us to play even faster. Hey, I’m just not that good a golfer! Didn’t matter though, course was in great shape, greens were fast. They have made the course more playable by thinning some of the bushes/foliage you have to carry and converting some bunkers to grass. Made it better for me. Highly recommend.

First time playing this course. My round was midweek mid-afternoon, so rate was much less than premium time.

The recommended pace of play is 4.5 hours, mostly due the expansiveness of the course as it winds around a preserve and Delaware race track. IMO it would be impossible to walk this course and maintain pace of play with other foursomes in carts. The distance between a few holes was the longest I've ever ridden. I was second-guessing whether I was actually on the right path. But it's a beautiful ride and course, very scenic (I even spotted a few foxes).

The layout is challenging, especially from the 2 back tees due to the distances. The course was in country club shape, with very nice greens. It requires a lot of strategy due to the natural areas throughout the course. You can't just expect to bomb it and hope for the best. There's little relief from poor shots around the greens as the wooded scrub areas are close and unforgiving. Bring some extra balls, and then some additional extras.

A tip: Bring cash for on-course beverage purchases.

First time at this course. Didn’t play as well as I should but will go back again . After playing will know how to aim for better placed shots. Many amenities are included with the price, that cost extra. If you have the chance to play around it is worth the time.

Once again White Clay Country Club was a impressive experience.

Plan on a 6 hour round. Pace is not managed both on the course or by the starter. On the 4th hole, they asked me to give up my cart (I was a single) and join someone else… who quit after 9 due to pace. 10 tee is not anywhere near the clubhouse causing me to only play nine by default. The layout is nice, could be a great place if management was any good.

Played 4/16/23 on a voucher I had from months ago. Guess what the voucher was for - a 5 hour round middle of the day on a Thursday. Pace of play was slow again, another 5 hour round, waiting on every tee box. Starter had the audacity to say that there was a 15 minute pace of play per hole when asking if a certain set of tees could be played. Never saw a ranger out on the course despite people in front of and behind us complaining about pace. Not worth the money imo.

My only complaint (I hate using that word) is that the holes and greens were a tad unfair. Green speeds seemed wildly different from hole to hole and pin placement was made by someone who definitely hated most golfers 🤣

Typical mediocre condition ok pace, they do pretty good job

Here. Muni course. Good sand traps
