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.

Best Course in the Area

Wow is all I have to say. This course was something else. When I arrived a cart was driven up to my car and immediately put my bag on it. I went down to the pro shop and was greeted by an extremely friendly staff. I played around 4:15 to get one of the discounted rates but ill get back to that later. I was going solo that day so they asked me to join a group of 3 ahead of me to help with pace of play. Usually if I go by myself I like to play alone to work on my game without pressure but honestly the 3 guys I played with were awesome and definitely helped with how this course was laid out.

The starter was cool and helpful and definitely had a passion for the course. I'm a single digit handicapper but this course was a challenge. Lots of layup shots, water, and holes that will punish you severally. If its your first time out here I suggest playing with someone thats familiar with it. The blues are really challenging at 6500 and they make you work for it. I suggest playing from whites if possible. But they have the ipads on the carts with GPS which helps tremendously for shot selection! So cool for a public course.

As I went through each hole I had a smile on my face the whole time though. Every single hole could have been a signature. Extremely beautiful and could have taken a photo on each hole. The 15th reminded me of 18 at Sawgrass and couldn't resist taking a photo with the sunset. The course conditions were pretty good. I gave it 5 cause they weren't perfect like I was expecting but still nicely shaved fairways and decent speed on the greens (divits are where the problem was). Pace of play was decent but there are some holes where you have to drive at least a half mile to get to them. Its scenic but just is kind of abnormal and I would wish upon no one to walk this course if its hot out.

Now I would recommend everyone to come and play out here. I drove an hour and 20 minutes and I'm returning again this weekend because it was so good. It's pricey in the morning but worth every penny, but if you can come play a twilight round, the price is unmatched really.

Love it!

Great course and some holes are very demanding

Great course condition. Ken ? the ranger was extremely helpful and quite a gentleman. Condition was great even for hot July. Too many forced carry shots and that could be troublesome for some

A Course Worth Joining

If I was going to join a course and not use a GolfNow, this is the course I would join. It checks all the boxes, from the beautiful clubhouse with a great locker room, the terrific practice area for both long and short game, the finely manicured course, to the great 19TH hole and patio.

Fast morning round!

The course was in very good shape. Some bunkers had water in them from rainfall the last few days. The greens rolled fast and the staff was extremely nice. We finished our round under four hours. Challenging course but fair if you don’t spray it all over the place. Definitely will be back!

Very solid

Big greens that are fast and roll true. Difficult course because you have to carry some obstacles. You have to hit it long and straight here. Played with people that breathed golf so made the round better. The par 5s are fun because you can take solid attempts at being on in 2. Par 5s will make you think. The practice facilities are excellent. Complimentary balls at the range and a great short game chipping area...honestly where we all need to spend the most time. I'd go back for sure. Not my top course in the area...bulle rock and inniscrone are better...but it makes the top 5.
