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 Layout, Really challenging for a 20 handicap and high winds.

I've golfed here many times, and as always it eats balls. Water, tree lined fairways, and many gullies/creeks to find along the way. It is a placement style course and a very spreadout layout. Make sure you follow the signs carefully as there are some long drives between a few holes. Brand new carts yesterday (March20, 2024) with GPS and Great practice facilities included make this a worthwhile (albiet expensive) round to enjoy.

This course has some challenges

On that day, golf carts path only, there was no GPS fairway navigation on the cart, and it was our first time playing this golf course, so we felt a little bit in convenient. The red tee is very friendly to ladies, for men the fairways of the golf course are somewhat difficult, a lots of water and ditches, but the greens are not difficult.

Great course

Great course and well maintained. Played in off season so good/drink not available. Only downside to the course is clubhouse is not looped into the course so you have to trail off after 9 to get to clubhouse if needed. Otherwise great course!

Great Variety

Course was in great shape for December. Really enjoyed the variety throughout the round. Lots of water, but generally pretty forgiving off the tee. Will definitely be back in the summer.

Great course!

My father and I had a blast playing this course. We are not used to the customer service we got the minute we showed up. And this was 1 guy running the pro-shop, and directing golfers/setting up carts and bags. That's a good employee right there. Only thing I could recommend is definitely lowering the price a bit because I think literally everyone could benefit from more ability to play. The pace was a bit behind but so controlled that it wasn't too long before we were back on the t-box. Outstanding course, and when funds are available, we will play again!

Winter play

I love this club!
As they start to winterize, the amenities begin to dissipate, Balls at the driving range, being able to wash your golf balls and get a drink of water.

Course is interesting, tough but fair. Overall conditions were excellent. For the high handicapper this course might be a little too tricky. Many carries over creeks and water comes into play a lot. It's a penal design and your drives and iron shots need to be straigh. For the better player this course is a good challenge that won't ever bore you..I'd put it on my play list for sure

I think if you played more than once a week you would know there are messages on course/cart that tell you it will be at least a 4.5 hour round. Pay more attention to context clues! Also maybe focus on the game more get rid of that slice!
