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 is a beautiful well kept course but is too difficult for the average golfer. iOS normally score in the mid to upper 80s and could only manage a 93 on this course.

Slow play at White clay Creek

Had the 12.12 tee time yesterday and assumed we would be able to finish the round by sunset. The threesome ahead of us was no business hitting off the black tees and took too long on each hole, so we were 30-45 minutes behind the pace of play on the front nine. When we finally decided to skip 16 and go to 17 there was another slow foursome. One of my 3 playing partners just walked off the course, I skipped 17 and headed to 18 just to finish my round. Won't bite on any GolfNow Hot Deals at White Clay Creek the rest of this year.

Real golf!

I play here once a year because it’s a long way from my house. If I’m playing well at my usual courses, I add about 10 strokes when playing WCC. It’s a tough track! Always in good condition, every hole looks different which is nice but hard for sure. The staff is very professional and friendly.(not all courses are!)

Beautiful Day

Cart path only because of a heavy rain the day before was not easy.... and the cart paths were wet land friendly but not golfer friendly.. So despite the cart situation... this was an incredible golf course and experience. I Played with my 83 yr old father(25 handicap) and my 22 year old son (2 handicap). I am a 10 handicap. We played three separate tees that were perfect for our games. Tees, fairways and greens were in perfect shape.

Great conditions, pace and value

Perfect weather and great pace for a Friday afternoon - under 3.5 hours as a threesome. Course in great shape, greens fast and true (evidently a tournament the day before). Interesting layout with some good forces carry decisions. More yardage markings on course would help, especially when path only cancels out the gps. Staff couldn't be nicer. Recommended and will come back when in the area.

Too wet/Green s like ice

It hasn't rained in weeks yet the course was extremely wet. The greens were like putting on ice....I'm not a bad putter but even on the last hole, still blowing by the cup when just tapping the ball which was REALLY frustrating and ultimately dampened the round.

Make sure you bring drinks and snacks, there is no clubhouse on the course and although it was a packed day, there was no cart service.

Course layout is challenging with many risk/reward holes.

Great course

Enjoyed a great round of golf with a friend played with another twosome from out of state great company , the course layout is great and very challenging with layups and carries. The course conditions was great especially for the drought that the state of Delaware is had this summer I enjoyed it very much.

Awesome course

Great course have not played in a while since very pricey, was able to get a great deal on Golf Now. Definitely a private country club feel, a bit stuffy but well worth playing. Course in very good condition, a lot of carry shots specifically with the drives. Only negative is many ball marks on greens golfers not repairing, several on every green. A must play course, high end and very challenging

Course is challenging, the fairways are very soft which could change ur iron game if you don’t adapt (especially with pitch shots). None of the holes run into each other, you can’t slice or hook a drive out of play and find your ball, you really have to play short and accuarate. Greens are well kept and are speedy!

Quirky course

You need to think on the course. If you want to just bang away, don’t play here. A lot of holes are short but hazards and dog legs prevent the use of a driver. A thinking mans course. Lots of hazards to avoid. Loved it. Really well maintained.

Usually too expensive but found a good deal on GolfNow.
