Great value

Fun layout, that is scoreable, while challenging for a mid handicap player like myself. Always had great pace of play and solid conditions! Overall a great value for the price!

Nice Round

Nice course. First time playing. The course overall was in great condition. However, on 2 or 3 holes the tee boxes that were almost completely bombed out with divots and there was 1 sand trap that was half full of water. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Pace of play was pretty normal for a weekday. Fun round, great value, and would come back again.

Great layout, friendly staff, there should be a New Castle county rate as fees are a bit steep.

Very rude staff

I took my wife golfing here for her first time. I have been golfing for 25 years. She was driving the cart and when on the greens on a par 3. I immediately told her to get off as it was an honest mistake. A staff member came Immediately came over and told us to leave the course immediately. I told him it was my wives first time. An honest mistake and apologized. And his response was “learn some golf etiquette then come back”. He was completely unprofessional and incredibly abrasive in his reaction. I can understand his concern but it was an honest mistake and because of his reaction and attitude we never go back to this course again. It’s actually the worst course in Delaware but it was a cheap place to teach my wife. You get what you pay for. We joined DuPont now instead and will never need to go back.
