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.

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.

Hi Beans,
Thanks for posting your review, we always appreciate feedback and love the fact that you liked the course so much. Sounds like we've got an H2O issue that I'll follow up on, my apologies on that. Feel free to me email directly at whiteclaycreekrm@gmail.com and I'll make sure the loose ends are tied up.

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

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 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.

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.

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.
