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.

Tricky layout

Very good conditions. Nice to warm up on a grass range. Some of the holes require experience. Good test of golf.

Technically, it’s challenging, tee boxes are nice. Greens are fast, 11 miles of golf pathway.

White Clay Creek (Deer Sighting)

We played from the White Tees and had to lay up on about 60% of the holes. This course was challenging due to the wind and course layout. Great driving range and chipping greens. Highly recommend. Also, casino right next to the course.

Great Course. Slow play

Got twilight rate. Course is great and in awesome shape. Lots of irons off tees (played the whites). Front nine pace was fine. Back nine was atrocious. A member of our group quit after 12 due to it. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

Awesome Course but know your limits

I agree with many people who say this golf course is magnificent all round because it is, however I also agree it’s not the place for your average weekend golfer who’s handicap is higher. It’s tough, mentally draining because of the landing zones you have to hit and then most greens are elevated with run offs and the greens are quick. So basically what I’m saying is it’s a great course for golfers who play regularly and want a new challenge but it would be quite miserable for the high handicappers out there

Excellent Course, Poor Patrons...

I've played this course several times and it is almost always in great condition. This time, however, I was extremely disappointed with how poorly the players have been treating the course. I have nothing bad to say about the course management or the staff...they are doing great as always. The patrons of this club really need to respect the course before they ruin it. Some of the tee boxes were basically destroyed, not a single divot filled, and the sand/seed mix bottles still completely full. The same went for the common landing areas of the fairways, which also had full bottles waiting for someone to use them, and unreplaced divots laying everywhere. The greens, which are usually the best part of the course, were scuffed and scarred with cleat and ball marks. I fixed at least 10 ball marks on probably all 18 greens. I have always loved this course and I wish other players would show love and respect for it as well. I'm just glad I only paid a twilight rate and not a full weekend morning greens fee.

Great Course - Not Easy

Second time playing White Clay Creek. Both times the staff was fantastic and friendly. The course is always in great shape. Greens were rolling very true and just the right speed. The layout is also awesome with no back and forth holes. The holes them selves are not easy. Some long carry's and also some target golf.

Clubhouse is beautiful and the food in the restaurants was awesome, great lunch.

Cart girl could not have been more available and just super nice.

Play here if you're in the area for sure.
