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.

Cart path only

If for any reason you think it maybe cart path only because of recent weather the get a rain check. For some reason this course seems insanely big and sucks to walk if your ball is opposite of cartpath...... other than that its awesome. Word of advice dont play caring about hitting whatever club corresponds to the distance to the pin. This course calls for always thinking of your next shot.

Beautiful course

Course was in great shape. Very challenging course. Staff were all very friendly. This is a full service course. They pick up your clubs in the parking lot, then clean up your clubs after and bring them back to you vehicle. I highly recommend this course.

Aug 17

We did not see the cart service one time in a 5 hour round. With the humidity, it was 100 degrees. This can’t be if you are not going to have a halfway house where people can at least buy a pack of crackers and a Gatorade.

Great Course but too Much Carry from the Tee

The course is very nice. It is less than 6,000 yards from the normal tees. But,15 holes have forced carry off the tee with some requiring 180 yards plus of carry. People lose a lot of balls at this unique set-up. The course is pretty easy for big hitters but a challenge if you can't consistently carry 180 yards.

Personal worst experience here ever

Saturday 1:20. Expect it to be a bit slow. Some kind of “modified cart path only” (no carts in fairways) Every hole we played took 20 minutes. 3 hour front 9. Spoke to a ranger on the 7th that said a group stopped playing so he expected it to get better. Instead of going backwards and telling people that, go forward, find the problem, and have them pick it up and move on to the next hole, or two! Got to 15 tee in a solid 4and an half hours, and noticed NO ONE on 17 or 18. Waited a few minutes. Said our goodbyes to our playing partners and skipped 15 and 16. Played the par 3 17th and waived to our playing partners who were just leaving the 15th tee!!

Absolutely no chance to actually get to “play”. Wait 5 minutes or so on every shot, and probably twice that to tee off completely ruined our experience.

I like to play WCCCC maybe once a year. Good course usually in above average shape. Always on the pricer side, and a fun challenge for me. But the pace was ATROCIOUS and UNACCEPTABLE!! I’ll see you guys next year .

Great Course - Too Much Carry off the Tee for an Amateur Golfer

The course is a very nice challenging layout. When I played the tee boxes were beat up and there were some bad patches in the fairways. Green were in good shape. Players don't replace divots or sand seed them and they don't fix ball marks on the greens. The course is beautiful but almost 15 holes have forced carries with several requiring a carry of 175 to 190 yards off the tee which is a challenge for the average amateur golfer who plays the regular tees.

Another good, but slow day on the course

Played in a foursome on a Monday morning. Course was pretty busy. We got partnered with another twosome. The course was in pretty good shape, but wet, cart path only on half the holes, and signs of some pretty significant receded flooding on certain holes, such as 8, 9,11 and 16. But the round simply took too long at 4:40. Much of this was I assume because of the.cart path rules. It’s something to keep in mind if it has been rainy.
