Rating 75.0

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.

Tough but fair.

Echoing the majority of reviews, this course is very difficult. While the fairways offer plenty of room, you have to hit them and often have to shape the ball to have any chance on your second shot. If you can't control your golf ball off the tee, this is probably not the course for you.

Don't be a hero in terms of tees you play. We played the White tees from 5800 yards. At our club we play 6400 and 5800 here was more than enough. Many par 4's are short but difficult and strategic which accounts for the shorter yardage.

Almost every hole has forced carries, many have more than one. Off the tee is not a huge issue but lay ups and approach shots can be incredibly challenging. Greens play very firm for approach shots but do not putt as fast.

It's a beautiful setting, the staff is very nice and the course in good condition.

Great value, excellent track

Played my first round here on 4/29 via a GolfNow hot deal for $39. It would have been worth the regular rates. Course was in great shape despite the early season tee time and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. We (2 of us) were stuck behind a slow foursome and a ranger who was driving by facilitated the opportunity to play through, which was much appreciated. Course is fair and challenging at the same time. I'll be back for sure.

great facility

Played here on 4/5 on a day that had 4-5 club wind that made scoring darn near impossible.. The facility was in good shape for so early in the season.. It was only 2 weeks after the last snowstorm we had and the course was very playable.. The practice facility is excellent and certainly one of the areas best on public facilities. The GPS system in the cart is also a great touch.. We got a 38 dollar rate on a Sunday and that really was a fine bargain.. While there are many short length par 4 holes, those holes are tricky off the tee and not nearly as easy as you'd think. You need to play here a few times to be able to score decently as yardages are deceiving.

very tough but fun

will be beautiful in a couple of weeks. lots of water and forced carries. greens elevated requiring carries. Not for everyone but a treat for those who can handle it. 18th hole is too doglegged for practically everyone. I will try to return when i get a lucky bargain. Closer than the Jersey Shore or the Chester County upscale courses to my town at Exit 5 on the NJTP.

this course is a must play!

from the moment that you park, you know there's something different about this place. they pick you, and your clubs up at your car, and drive you around to the clubhouse. free range balls. and a great chipping and putting practice Greens. but the course itself is what will bring you back. It's maintained like some of the best courses you'll ever play. don't let me forget to tell you that it is a difficult course, if you're not straight. the white clay creek runs through the entire course.

Annoyingly Bad

If you want to do a puzzle, and fit your ball between water hazards running across fairways at an angle, this is your course. If you want to play a real, fun golf course....go somewhere else....nuff said....I have rated courses for golf magazines and coached college golf...seriously, there are much better courses in the area, providing much more fun, than this.

Some quirky holes, but very nice

Some doglegs that require precise distance control on your tee shot. Really it's a fun course, well maintained, very nice facilities and driving range. The 18th hole is the most disappointing hole on the course though.

You do not want to walk this course though! The distance between some holes is crazy.

Target golf at it's finest.

Good course, frustrating for novice golfers, Water in play on most holes and several visually challenging carries. Rewards accurate shot making. Shots to greens are al carry though to run shots up as most greens are raised,

worth it

This place very nice. It was somewhat challenging, which is a good thing. The staff was attentive and very personable. The course was not in the its best condition because of the winter season, but I am sure during another season it would be great. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place.

Maintenance has slipped.

I have played WCC many times and have always been impressed with the course and its conditions. This Sunday was different in that a recent aeration of the fairways was poorly completed leaving the fairways a mess. The bunkers had not been tended to for some time.

Challenging and Beautiful

First time playing here. Novice senior golfer. Staff very friendly and helpful. Weather windy and cold, Course soggy. A beautifully maintained course with gorgeous scenery and wildlife. Learned the definition of a "carry over". There are a lot of them and they are large. Food and service at "The Rail" was very good. Looking forward to playing again.

Nay to White Clay

Actually, this was my second time playing White Clay Creek. (Both rounds were less than wonderful - I lost 9 balls this time, and 12 or 13 the first time.)
Several quirky holes, several 210-ish yard par-3s, several tee shots requiring substantial carries, several doglegs not allowing full view of the hole from the tee. Definitely not my favorite kind of layout.
Although many greens did not LOOK good (some scruffiness, discoloration, ball marks), they generally rolled well and were quite fast.
For my $29 fee it was a decent value. But at 50 minutes from home, I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Great but DIfficult Course

This course is beautiful and one of the best in Delaware in my opinion. Unfortunately I went out on a rainy day which made play even more difficult and less enjoyable. However the course was still in reasonably good condition and everyone was friendly. This course is a great course however not suited for beginners. Very difficult course.
