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.

Entire Arsenal Required

Challenging course requires use of all clubs. Many holes require carry distance from tee box, long par 3s, fairway bunkers, etc. Course is in as good a shape as can be expected for late fall, the day I played it was cart path only because of the prior days rain. Some of the holes are stretched out and a requires an inordinate amount of time to drive to.

Course was in great shape, with only minimal amounts of leafs in fairway areas. Tee boxes, bunkers, fairways and greens all in fantastic shape. Greens were still very fast.

Great, challenging course.

White Clay never disappoints if you want a challenge. If you're a high handicapper (20+), it will probably not be fun for you though. The staff here is always excellent. Many of the holes have some sort of obstacle that you need to hit over, either brush or water.

Its an extremely pretty course and relatively flat but there are a nice variety of holes. You'll hit irons, hybrids, woods and Driver from the tee boxes. There are numerous dog legs and some great opportunities to shot shape that you may not get at a lot of other course, both left and right. I consistently hit 10+ strokes higher here than most of the other local courses and we have a lot of golf in Delaware and Southern Chester County. The only comparable course in difficultly I'd say is Hartefeld (private). Its very fair though.

They have a state-of-the-art gps system on the carts that it better than any other course I've played.

Even in the height of fall we didn't run into any lost balls b/c of leaves which was nice. They had the blowers out in force. No cart girl when I played though and since you don't loop back to the club house at #9, that was a bit annoying. Plenty of bathrooms and water out on the course though.

STAY in the short grass and PLAN your shots

This is the course that always brings me back to reality. I bogeyed the 1st hole, birdied the 2nd pared the 3rd then my game went so far sideways I needed a cab to get home. Lost balls , out of bounds off the tee over and over again, chunk and chunk and bunker and over the green, into the water into the marsh everywhere you can think of that just makes you want to get in your car slide down low in the seat and slink home. I will be back to play,,again and again.

This is a great course. VERY CHALLENGING!! The only problem were the greens. Grass clippings were left and there was indentations I guess from the mower or airator. But I know that is not normal. Other than that the course was in great condition

Always challenging.

White clay creek is on of the best tracks in delaware. Everyone can play here, but I suggest you always bring your A game. Lots of forced carries, no gimme par 3s( except maybe 17) plenty of water, nice selection of holes. I'm a 17 HDCP and am always happy to keep it under 100 here.

Bring your tee game!

Fun and challenging off the tee, this course was a blast. The greens were true and challenging and the course was interesting and in great shape. Lots of hazards of the tees and some long-ish par 3's make it fun and challenging, but not for those weak off the box (although playing from the forward tees will probably be ok.) Range was great, with a resort style setup and the staff was friendly.

Challenging Course Not recommended for beginners

I love this Golf Course, The course is in fantastic shape. The greens are super fast. I have played this course about 12 times over the last 3 years and this year its in the best shape it has ever been in. I played the course from the TIPS. The mid tees (white tees) are challenging enough, but playing from the tips is even more challenging. I would not recommend this course for a beginner as you have to have good ball placement. Playing from the TIPS, there are a few holes like the 15th, that you have to carry about a 240 yard drive to get over the pond. Playing from the white tees, its driver then wedge. At least playing from the tips you use more clubs and have to have proper ball placement. The roughs are just that ROUGH. So don't get caught in them.

I would highly recommend this course to everyone who has less than a 20 handicap.

Good luck and hit em straight !!!!

great course in excellent shape

White Clay Creek is currently in excellent shape and truly one of the best public courses in the Philadelphia region. Of the dozen courses I've played this year, White Clay is being maintained better than all the rest. Had a very enjoyable round today and got in at a 29 dollar rate too. You have to be really accurate off the tee on this course as there are many forced carries over wetlands. There are quite a few short par 4's on this course and if you hit it straight, you'll have a great chance to make some birdies. The greens are smooth and medium fast. The practice facility is the best here. The pro shop and locker room are top notch also and make you feel like you belong to a private club. There is only one negative and that is the 18th hole. Its a poorly designed hole, with a wide marshland that eats up good drives. I've seen a host of players hit good drives that appear to clear the marshland only to find out, they are well short and in the marsh. I hope someone will get some sense and make some needed changes to that hole.

Always a treat

This course is one of the best in the Delaware area, located at Delaware Park. No two holes the same. White Clay Creek comes into play on several holes. Also well trapped and rolling elevation changes.
