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.

Great challenging course...but bring extra balls
This was my second time playing this course. It is very challenging. For a beginner golfer, I would not recommend. There is lots of water and forced carries. Smart players will lay up. Some of the carries are very long. The course was in great condition. Some soft spots on the fairways, but still in excellent condition and the greens were excellent. The pin placements were mostly in the front or back. They were alternating pin placements whereby the group in front of you would place the flag in the opposite cup. They were doing this because it was towards the end of the season and wanted to keep the greens nice. So when we were finished with one hole, we had to move the flag to the opposite cup. Staff is very friendly. You cannot walk this course as you would have to add 30+ extra minutes of walking for 18 holes. 4.5 hours for the average golfer is stretching it. Even if you are an average player, you could loose 6-10 balls in a round. Add the 2 minutes allowed for looking for a ball, which is common, and that alone can set you back with time. The ranger came around 3 times, just to check-up on everyone. We were playing at a good pace but just barely finished in 5 hours. . You won't be disappointed in playing this course.
Excellent course...will give you the opportunity to use every club in the bag and stratgize. A thinking man's golf course
Excellent course...makes you use every club in the bag....going back in the spring when the course is in full bloom
Great if your not thirsty.
The course, the people etc., etc., etc. were all great except for the fact that for the third time in a row many water coolers were empty! The first time was in the middle of the summer on a very hot day with mostly cart path only, and we complained to the marshal. I don.t think we got results. The last day was Veterans Day and again missing water! The CEO director of golf said there was water, went by the cooler again I guess I don't know how to press the button.
Great Course
Great course, that requires you to be accurate on your drives as it is not a wide open track. Beware, there is no halfway house so if there is not a cart girl there will not be food or beer opportunities
A Must Play!
Great course offers many challenges. A true test for all.
Its in great condition, Green is rolling nicely.
It was a windy day so it played a little harder, but the course is in great shape. the 19th hole special is a bonus!
Thanks for all the kind words tman! We appreciate you playing the course and we're thrilled you took the time to post the review. Wish I had seen you in the 19th Hole & thanks for mentioning the special! ;-)
Always challenging
Beautiful course, but some holes feel like target golf. Great greens
Beautiful Golf Course
The course was in great shape. Very scenic golf holes, nice layout.
Overall the course was in very good condition
Very good value, friendly staff and enjoyable course layout.
Only negative - a few greens on the back nine need work.
5 Star Course -- and a great practice area
The condition of the course was outstanding, the crew and staff were extremely friendly and helpful..I love playing a course that makes you use every club in the bag..Our group stayed for lunch and had a great meal to top it off..
Thanks for the kind words Penguin! Hope to see you next time you're at the course.
Almost perfect
Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, no club house at the turn or anywhere on the course to get food/beer/water! Other than that perfect course.
Better buy some balls
This course is a true rose. Natural beauty but sharp talons. Without GPS in the carts you could go through a dozen balls. Lots of forced layups and waist areas lurking everywhere. If your game is sharp you could see scarlet boxes on the scorecard but if you can't keep it straight you might need a bandage, and a drink. Only thing keeping from a 5 star is the lack of food or drinks on the course.
Beautiful setting and very picturesque
Great course but must be able to play target golf. A lot of layups for shorter hitters.
Beautiful course in great condition
Played course on morning with a frost delay with a 10;50 tee time and even though the first group of the day went off at 10:15 the staff did a good job of getting the golfers out on the course and we teed off only about 15 min. late. There was a little waiting on the first four holes but moved very well after that. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice driving range and practice area which is included in price. Course is challenging with a nice mix of holes. The par 5's are well designed and memorable. Will definitely be back again.
Outstanding facility, Practice,Course , staff,
Very challenging course. Show up early to take advantage of the Great practice area, Staff is very accommodating , they make sure that they attend to any issues
Great layout.
Good test of your game. It was cool and breeze that day, it added allot to the challenge.
Nice friendly staff. Played pretty fast, not much of a crowd.
Challenging course
The course was in good shape, you could see how some of the holes had been aerated maybe a month ago. I was impressed with the staff friendliness. I always shoot a higher score when I play here, but I enjoy the challenge.
Fun Challenging course
My first time at White Clay. I will be back. Staff was very friendly. Course was in great shape. Very fast greens. Only problem was the pace of play was a little slow, 4:45 minutes. Overall a great value.
Above average quality course with some difficult holes to manage.
I'm normally in the low 90's hitting from the whites but White Clay sent me over 3 digits. Only played once before and forgot how to manage a few holes....some requiring carry while others layup. Course conditions were favorable but wind was occasionally a factor. Greens rolled fast , true , and were in great shape. All of the par 3's play 170 / 180+ except one. No significant elevation changes or wow factor but overall a very interesting course to manage. Unless you're a LOW handicapper better bring your A game. Arrive early to take advantage of a nice practice area....Get a golfnow deal and you won't feel too bad if you score high.
Aeration twice in two months!! lol
I've probably golfed about 1,000 rounds in my life, and never heard of this before, lesson learned. I hear people complain about aeration, but it is really on you to ask the course if you're playing in the early spring or late summer if they are. I knew from calling the course, they had aerated in August, so imagine my shock when they did them again in October!! Never saw that, but fortunately not much top dressing was used and greens rolled about 90% of their normal speed. This is a great course, but if you are not breaking 100 consistently at most courses, either avoid this place or play from forward tees because there a ton of carry holes with your drive. Also, impossible for the walkers. Some holes are literally several football fields away from each other.
