White Clay Creek Country Club at Delaware Park
About
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.

Yupp
Best test of golf in the Wilmington area. 7000 plus yards will test any skill level from scratch to the 20+ lady’s and gents. I play this coarse once a month to humble myself. Excellent parklands layout. A++.
Another good day at WCCCC
Course conditions were not perfect but given the extended winter it was in very good shape. I want to commend the staff. I was paired with golfers playing the course for the first time and two of them were late to the tee. The starter was particularly gracious in how he handled the situation and we simply swapped tee times with the group behind us. And, although we fell behind after several holes, we were NOT hounded by the ranger about pace of play, which may have ruined the day. The rest of the staff was very attentive and made us feel very welcome. Thank you to all!
Tough but fair
Good amenities, practice facilities and course. Good shots rewarded. Bring a few balls. Greens were a little bumpy following aerification, but fast.
Bring your A game.
Full of natural beauty, but don’t get distracted. Tough track. Long par 3s. Par 5s have length and tough lay ups to target. Fair amount of blind shots. Carts have great GPS to assist you with target yardage and carries. Great range and short game area. Attentive staff from parking lot to course. I’ll be back to tame the beast.
Awesome
Very nice course , challenging and beautiful layout
Great course, poor course management
Great course, been there plenty of times. Starter tracked our foursome down around the 9th hole. He said we were behind pace, but carts weren’t allowed in fairway because of weather. That being said, the carts have a screen in them and we were 8 minutes behind pace. We felt rushed and that made the day just an overall poor experience. To add more to the story, they put a group of two behind us and a single behind them. Next time if pace of play is a big deal, pair those players together. Poor starter knowledge and management.
Too early
This course is fabulous, but it was undergoing a little work and the greens were sliced and sanded recently, not making for a great experience - will return later in the season for some great golf !
Penal but fair
Public courses rarely play like private tracks but White Clay exceeded my expectations. Greens were sandy from aeration (did not know before round) but beyond that, the course plays pretty tough. A fair amount of even lies, difficult to judge shots, blind/distorted shots into the green, make ball placement a premium in order to be in position to score. Tee boxes were in good condition for this time of year, post-winter. I give the crew an A+ rating. Course is UNWALKABLE!!!
A Gem in Delaware
Had an afternoon tee time and was greeted in lot by Zach who took our bags to the practice green. Pete, our starter and course attendant gave us the option to get out a little early. We hit 10 practice shots (range is free) and proceeded to tee off after Pete offered course conditions and path rules, adding, if we need ANYTHING call or simply use gps on cart to rind pro shop.
Course was recently aerated, but still rolled nicely and somewhat quick for amount of topdressing sand on them. Layout is magnificent offering a wide range of shots throughout our round. The wind that day was the winner blowing up to 25 mph making for an interesting time on course management.
I would defintely return to this gem and tell anyone who listens to me this is a must play.
excellent!
First time that we played it and It will not be the last time either. Pretty special course that has a resort feel to it without the resort price. Don't even think about walking as the course seems to take up half of Delawares land mast. Thank goodness for good signage and smooth as silk cart paths. If you can get any kind of deal I believe this is a must play course.
Good quality golf course with a nice layout.
This golf course can be challenging. Depending on the tees you play it can play very long but still modest from the whites. There are plenty of hazards that you can find, but the fairways are pretty generous on most holes. The greens are a good size and can play very fast in the summer, but still roll really well in the winter. I recently played a winter round and was surprised in how nice the course condition was. This course can be pretty expensive to play, but on a hot deal it's 100 percent worth it. Range balls, practice area, putting greens allow for a great warmup to the round. Each golf cart has a gps and course layout. The staff is very accommodating and the clubhouse is really nice. I would recommend this course to anyone, it's a good experience all the way through.
Beautiful Course on White Clay Creek
This is a beautiful course that meanders along the White Clay Creek. Course was in great condition considering how late in the season. Don’t particularly like the layout (ie. #9 does not turn by the club house), but still a great challenging course. Will definitely look for additional deals on Golf Now.
Not quite up to usual WCC standards
Usually the whole WCC experience is excellent but this last round was a little subpar. The greens were slow and shaggy, there was no beverage cart and the bar was closed, our golf cart died on the 15th hole and we had to call for rescue and when the round ended there was no one there to clean our clubs or to drive them back up to the parking lot and we had to lug them up the hill ourselves.
This course always a treat
Great layout. Water affects most holes, very scenic, elevation changes. Good condition for late in the year.
It’s been better
The course is just not in the shape I am use too. Greens left a lot to be desired. A lot of foot prints and they had a lot more bad spots then I have ever seen at WCCCC. The cost to play allows me to only play once or twice a year, and I look forward to playing when I do. I was just disappointed this time. Still a good track, just not in the condition I am use to when I play there.
Coarse was in good shape except
The course was in good shape except for the greens… They seemed a little beat up and overplayed...
I played from the blended tees based on my handicap and skill level... Currently a 16 handicap... This forced me to keep my driver in the bag the majority of the day...
