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.

Great track and facilities

I’ve played here 4 times now and really like this course. Tee times include all the range balls you can hit, a great practice green, and a short game area with bunkers. The greens here are rolled and well maintained, so they are fast and smooth. Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. Overall one of the best values in the area.

Another Early Round at The Clay

I love to get the early round in at The Clay. Layout is great and challenging. Play it from the back to get the most enjoyment.

The cut some trees down to help out some of the sight lines on the course. Especially on 18. All good improvements..

Great time!

Got a hot deal and took advantage of it, glad I did! This place is a treat to play, especially with the included practice facility. Pace of play was terrible, clocked in at 3 hours on hole 10. Gave up early and left after 13. Other than that, had a great time. I’ll be back.

Great course even with cart path only restriction

Though the course was pretty wet from the heavy rain through the weekend, it was still a enjoyable course to play, I got in a lot of extra steps with the cart path only restriction and lost a couple of balls due to plugging in the fairway (you're welcome to who finds the Vice golf balls). Some of the course challenges were taken away with some of the white tee boxes being moved up (but that is what you should expect with winter golf). A lot of water on the course and hazard areas to test your ability to play the right shot with the right club. I will definitely be coming back during the spring/summer season because the course is that good. I do recommend anyone in the Philadelphia area to try this course if you already haven't. I guarantee it is worth the drive. And of course who doesn't love complimentary good quality range balls.

tough but beautiful

White Clay Creek is a tough course. It is also a good looking course. If you play on a cart path only day prepare yourself for alot of walking. some of the normal white tee boxes were closed for the winter so you had to move up to the green ones. Green were in excellent shape. Because of rain the day before balls would plug into the fairway and couldn't be found.

Winter Play

For winter conditions, course was in great shape. We had a frost delay, they take this very seriously, keep this in consideration for your timing. They shotgunned us off because of the delay and everyone in our tee time window completed their rounds quickly. Included balls on the range are always a huge plus. Chipping green appeared to be closed.

Great experience

Course was in great shape. Challenging but enjoyable. Lots of water. Staff was very friendly. They didn’t really regulate start times so we were backed up most of the day.

Wind and winter conditions

First time playing this course. My lack of length coupled with winter’s ball flight, windy conditions and fast greens all screamed move up a tee box!
