Face Lift almost complete
What where you doing 100 years ago ? same thing as me most likely. This is a nice golf course tightly woven into the edge of Wilmington Delaware. Its a short track with tee boxes in some places side by side, tree lined fairways alittle bit of water here and there and a few homes skirting the edges of 3 /7/ 8 /16/17 and 18. I kind of lost my way after the 2nd hole and teed off on the # 12 tee box to the 3rd hole along the road it was a really nice drive until a gentleman told me " your tee box is behind # 2 green down along the road " LOL ok Thanks is that a stroke I should write down ? Anyway I played up to #4 that's where I really got spun around its a temporary green circled with blue paint before the roped off area AS I was told upon arrival. 1st time here. Yes the fairways are not in great shape But you can hit from them, The tee boxes are beat up but they are clearly marked for you ( red / Green / White )
The ground is hard as concrete and it's grassless in some places.( similar to the top of my head ) The bunkers have really good white sand in them I was there a few times and the greens are very receptive and in good putting shape. For a course that's 100 years old and going through a much needed facelift I think by the time all the bandages are all off it will be a really great in town place to Golf.
I didn't have time to play the 19th but maybe next time.

Course was in OK shape for middle April. The bunkers were absolutely awful. Like playing off concrete. 80 degree day with no water. Pretty petty. Will play there again but know what to expect.
Poor maintenance
Situated in a prestigious area of Wilmington, this course is a shame with lack of maintenance. Fairways, bunkers, greens are not playable!
Great Value
Grabbed hot deal and tried this course for first time.
Liked course was kinda tight and forced good shots. Well placed trees and bunkers. Couple greens had some spots but for $35, this course is well worth money.
Was a very busy day & round took 4 hours 40 minutes with up to 5 minute wait on every tee box.
Looking forward to playing again in future without the 30 mph winds.
A bit run down
The greens were poor, uneven, and missing grass. Early October is when the course should be in the best shape and this one isn't. Rough, uneven fairways with most balls ending up in poor lies. Sand traps were mostly dirt and stones.
Meh
What is wild is Rock Manor and Delcastle are both owned by the same company as Ed Oliver and both of those courses are worlds better maintained than this historic gem. I think the management is just bad, which is sad as this is a good location for a decent course.
Meh
I play here alot, its close to my work. It's not what one would call a "good" golf course, bunkers are a mess, carts are on their last leg, cart paths are falling apart, lots of surly retiree golfers. But, its relatively cheap and relatively convenient so location location location wins out.
Thanks for playing and we appreciate your patience while we finish up the renovations. We hope to see you again soon!
