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.

Excellent Couse

This is a quality course. I got to play it alone as first person out and it was very enjoyable. This is a quality layout, the surroundings are not breathtaking but the course is excellent. There is a good mixture o short/long holes with some strategic par 4s. Green conditions were good, bunkers were excellent.
This courses will not beat you up but challenging.
Great staff and super practice area. Highly recommended!

A Hidden Beauty!

I was not sure what to expect from White Clay Creek CC with it being a newer course and built around a race track. Man was I surprised! An absolute gorgeous layout in the Delaware State Park. If you like hazards and shots you have to control (both distance and accuracy) off of the tee, this is the course for you. For first timers the course would be impossible to play without the GPS, which gives you exact layup and carry yardage to each hazard. The greens were just aerated, but they still rolled pretty true. This would be an extremely tough course for beginners, and intermediates should probably play from the middle tees. I got a great deal on golf now and will continue to go back. The free range balls were a nice perk as well. If you hit it well you can score, as I was ecstatic with a 73, but if you're a bit off, beware!

Great layout, poor greens

Very impressive layout and challenging blind shots. The greens were in rough shape and no consistency from one to next. Paid $50 through the golf app and was worth the price.

Beautiful course, fair price

Played from the blacks (gold is longest, then black) and even though it is "only" about 6400 yards, there are a number of long (180-200 yards) carries to reach the fairway and be warned: not reaching doesn't mean your ball is in the rough, it means your ball is GONE. For older golfers or anyone who can't consistently hit their driver 220 or more, play the whites (5800 yards). Also, long par 3's (190-210 except for the 17th).
Fast greens, lots of ball marks (what a shame - the reason for 4*s instead of 5*s for condition). Overall, very nice, well worth the price, would play there again.

Enjoyable

It was a beautiful day and I got the round on Golf Now (hot deal) for $35, so it is hard to complain. The course is extremely difficult from the back tees having to hit accurate and very long tee shots over hazards. I have played this course many times from the black tees and have normally left discouraged about my golf game. This round I finally played the whites and found my round much more enjoyable. The course was in ok shape, they have lowered the green fees and have put some great deals on Golf Now, but with the increase in play the course was a little beat up. This is still a great track (especially for $35 on a weekday) that challenges you mentally and physically. Great driving range (included), putting green, two chipping greens with bunkers, cart girl is always out, and $7 Glenlivet. Play it forward and it will be more enjoyable.

Beautiful but demanding

The course has an awesome layout! The fairways were pretty beat up when I played, but the course makes you think on every shot. Seemed to play long from the Black tees which I really liked. Overall I loved the course just seemed like a few people have been digging holes instead of hitting golf balls in the fairways
