Delaware Golf Courses
Delaware has over 80 golf courses split between two distinct regions. The Wilmington area in the north sits in the Brandywine Valley, where gently rolling terrain and mature hardwoods give courses a classic Mid-Atlantic feel. Public courses like Delcastle and Rock Manor operate alongside private clubs such as Wilmington Country Club and DuPont Country Club. Newark and the nearby West Chester border area add a few more options, and Middletown south of Wilmington has seen growth in recent years with newer course-community developments.
The southern half of the state transitions to the Delmarva Peninsula’s flat coastal plain. Rehoboth Beach and the surrounding beach towns draw summer visitors, and courses like Baywood Greens, The Rookery in Milton, and Salt Pond Golf Club serve both locals and vacationers. Inland courses near Berlin and along Route 1 tend to be less crowded than the beach-town options. Dover fills the gap in the center of the state with a handful of courses, including a par-3 layout and Heritage Shores.
The season stretches March through November, with mild falls often extending play into December. Summers are warm and humid, with highs in the mid-80s, but ocean breezes cool the southern courses noticeably. Winter rounds are possible on milder days, especially near the coast. Pricing spans Economy to Elite, with most public courses in the Standard to Premium range. The state’s compact size means you can drive from Wilmington to Rehoboth Beach in under two hours, making a golf trip across both regions straightforward. No state sales tax is a small bonus at the pro shop.
