White Clay Creek Country Club

This course a great variety of shots to be played. Some holes you can just fire the driver out and play from there, but there are a few holes where you need to play smart. The fairways played great today, but quite a few greens were covered with craters. If players would simply fix their hallmarks this course would be 5 stars. The bar/​restaurant is great and they had a really good band playing in the deck when I was there. You definitely can’t walk this course as there is quite a distance between most holes. They obviously had a bunch of land and used all of it. I will play here again especially if I get a great deal from Golf now again. Also if you’re planning on getting food or drinks at the turn, you don’t get anywhere near the clubhouse, so plan accordingly.

Great place! Upon arrival there were multiple attendants there to help you out with your clubs as well as provide any help you may need. Everyone was super friendly from the cart attendants and starters to the bev cart ladies and both rangers, yes I said both, we were greeted by 2 different rangers throughout our round which was nice as you don’t get that much anymore.
As a 3 set off after a ton of 4somes we weren’t going to fly around and seeing the sign at 1^st tee requesting a 4.5 hour round we actually played in 5 hrs but only had a few big backups to wait around for. I don’t think this is a place you zip around because there are some LOOONG drives between greens and tees, as well as tees to fairways which no doubt adds to the longer rounds. I wouldn’t want to walk this place.
Tees were in very good condition, fairways were clearly defined and well manicured throughout. The rough was full and thick but somehow playable (probably just got a bit lucky today) I do wish more people either replaced their divots or filled them in with the supplied sand/​seed mix, it’s a shame such a nice place has so many huge divots big enough to be considered a foxhole to a squirrel. Greens were in very good shape and rolled well, pay attention to the grain!
I played the golds at 7000 yards and found a fun mix of tee shots. Some holes you need to send it and others you really need to place it, that’s fun! Par 5’s will really make you hit an accurate layup if a 240 – 280 ball is out of the realm of possibility. The gps is nice as you can use it as a touch screen to play with yardages but we found the «to the hole yardage» was off up to 14 yards, which is a lot, double check with your laser especially when your firing at the tucked pins.
I look forward to my next round here as it was a great day on a great course and best of all, no houses!!!

Attended a corporate event at the banquet facility. Buffet ran out of food. Last tables did not receive food service until 50 minutes into the event. Quality of food was at best mediocre. Not worth the price of the event.

I’ve played a few rounds here, and enjoyed them all. As soon as I pulled up in the parking lot, a nice guy in a cart took my clubs and drove around back. After paying the greens fee, he directed my to a brand new electric cart, with both of our bags already strapped in, and towels neatly folded on our seats.
The practice area is very nice– pyramids of balls on the driving area, several holes on the putting area, and rough around that to chip on to the practice green.
You will notice right away that the black tees are way, way far back. On several holes the difference between the white and black tees had to be 30 yards. (you drove over a bridge past a ravine to get to the whites). An in-​between tee might be fun, but I stuck to the whites.
The course is in fantastic shape. Greens were nice and smooth, fairways were clean and well groomed. Holes were challenging without being over the top. Good mix of 3, 4 and 5 par holes.
Overall a great place to play, the only con being that the ‘Player’s Assistants’ are a little aggressive, we were ‘8 minutes behind the pace’ and he drove all the way over to us, making us walk across the green to him and lose another minute or so. We sped up a little, only to come right up on the twosome ahead of us, so I have no idea how were were ‘8 minutes back’, but at least they are keeping people moving.
They had two beverage carts going, with premium 16oz beers for $ 5.00, which for a ‘tall boy’ was a good deal. Carts had snacks, hot dogs and chilled candy bars (nice touch, and again well priced at $ 1.00)
Carts were brand new, but did not have GPS like the previous ones, maybe they just haven’t installed it yet.
Would definitely recommend WCCC, beautiful course and pretty good bar/​restaurant as well. We’ll certainly be back.

I recently attended a wedding here. The ceremony was held outside on the patio and the reception in the ballroom. The scenery here was beautiful and they have a great patio outside of the ballroom as well that you can relax on. The ballroom was big, set up very nicely, the staff was very friendly and efficient, and the food was excellent. The crab and artichoke dip was very flavorful and had big lumps of crab and artichoke. The filet we had for dinner was cooked perfectly (medium rare) and also seasoned nicely. The location is easy convenient and easy to get to. I would love to visit here again.

WCC is an excellent course with a top-​level practice facility. I got a online deal to play for $ 45, which was half off, but even if I had payed the $ 70 it would still be worth it.
GPS carts, free range balls, chipping & putting greens, club service to and from your car… they treat you really well.
Beyond the very nice amenities, the course is challenging but fair. Its not a gimmick course, it is just an interesting layout with a nice mix of distance challenges and placement holes. The fairways and greens are in good shape, the pace of play was quick, and the surroundings were pretty. It is a bit odd, however, how much more challenging the blacks are versus the whites… a 600 yard difference over 18 holes is pretty significant. I’d like to see them add a «grey» tee that plays some of the shorter holes from the back while allowing you to stay away from the ridiculously long par 3 that they have.
I would definitely go back.

Prob. The best public golf course in Northern Delaware. They take your bag to your cart, free pyramid of range balls to warm up, very nice course then they’ll wipe your clubs off when you’re done. One of my favs in/​near Delaware. Not a walkable course however.

I arrived in this course with my son. We drove several hours from another state to play this course because of its great design. This is an extremely large and challenging course much to our disappointment when we got there we found out that there were no carts allowed off the cart paths because it had rained several days before.
My first problem with this is that in this modern age someone could have sent a text or e-​mail in the morning to advise us of this. My second problem with the course itself is that they should have had 20 minute intervals between groups instead of 10. Honestly the course was not that busy nevertheless we decided to give it the old college try.
After teeing off the first hole we immediately ran afoul of the starter, an extremely nasty old malodorous impatient curmudgeon. He made me feel uncomfortable and unwanted from the moment he set sights on us. It was clear a to me that he wanted to push us along in order to favor his geriatric cronies, out on a day pass from the nursing home, who were playing behind us. They were in a big hurry to get to the blue plate special at the restaurant. Wednesday night is the cheapest night to play here. Unknown to me before I booked you can get nine holes of golf and a five course meal coffee and dessert for the low low price of $ 65 .
In addition to being completely water logged the fairway of the first hole was scattered with the carcasses of broken balls. Without carts finding our balls was a sadistic time-​consuming Easter egg hunt. We were on the course exactly 5 minutes and while looking for our balls encountered 4 broken balls on the fairway. My son and I were walking around like knotless threads looking for our balls amongst the debris.
After finally finding our balls and making our first shot on the first hole, the crypt keeper starter slithered down the cart path to tell us «to move it along». I was in shock. I actually thought he came over to apologize for all of the balls scattered about the course that we wasted our time walking to. By the way, it took less than six minutes to find our balls and get to the green. The nasty old starter was there all day but didn’t see any of those broken balls and pick them up. He didn’t have any time to pick up balls in plain view, However, he did have time to interrupt our play make us walk across the fairway to give us a lecture and waste more of our time, and in the process make us feel even more uncomfortable to the point where we decided to leave after just one hole. He made us uncomfortable in more ways than one. It was dominance through extreme halitosis. If the goal was shock and awe here than it worked! Having lost my swing, patience, and control of my gag reflex I decided to leave.
The manager was really nice. I returned to the pro shop got a full refund and went to play at another course. There is no excuse in the world for the nasty old starter to be riding ANYONE after just 3 swings and no carts and broken balls littered all over the fairway for you to waste your time with.
This course was built on a floodplain. Whatever you do call in advance and make sure that you can take the carts off the cart path. You don’t want to be walking this soggy giant course! Moreover, unlike the other Unilocaler with a similar experience who was hassled for by the same starter for 17 holes, if the starter starts hassling you either set him straight or leave at the first hole like we did!

I went here for the first time for a company holiday party. It’s like any other country club. I posted a bunch of pictures of the facility. The facility, including the bathrooms, were all clean. The staff promptly cleared dirty dishes from our tables. I wasn’t too impressed with the food though. I had the breaded tilapia, mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, and a salad. The tilapia wasn’t bad. The mashed potatoes were so thick I couldn’t even get it off the serving spoon also the gravy was cold. The broccoli wasn’t that bad; it came with some cheesy sauce that looked like Velveeta or something. I didn’t even try it because it was so orange it didn’t look healthy at all. The cake wasn’t that bad either but I didn’t even finish it. I wish they had offered some low calorie options.

I was in a wedding held here and the staff was great. The two ladies who helped with the wedding (wedding planners maybe?) were great to work with. They were very helpful throughout the day. When the bride got a little faint in the heat they took her to the walk-​in cooler to cool down, which was a great solution. The food was pretty good and all the bartenders and waitstaff were attentive. The bridal suite we got ready in could have used some place to hang our dresses. There was nothing to hang the wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses on besides the doors, which was not ideal. We didn’t get to play golf here, but I here the course is lovely and very difficult — you cross water 27 times throughout the course.
