Deerfield at Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club

Deerfield, carved into the rolling landscape of Newark, Delaware, offers a golfing experience rooted in mid-century American course design. Its gently undulating parkland terrain, dotted with mature trees, presents a classic challenge, favoring strategic play over brute power. A slight fade often finds reward here, navigating doglegs and guarding approaches to subtly contoured greens.

Designed by Edmund Ault, the course has matured gracefully, maintaining its original character while offering a playable layout for golfers of all skill levels. It isn’t a household name on the national stage, but Deerfield holds a solid reputation within the region as a well-maintained and enjoyable course.

Beyond the course, Deerfield fosters a strong sense of community. Known for its relaxed atmosphere and unpretentious membership, the club provides a welcoming environment where golfers can connect and share their passion for the game. The 19th hole often buzzes with lively conversation, fueled by the club's unofficial signature snack: the crab pretzel, a local delicacy that perfectly embodies the spirit of Delaware.
