About this course

The Nemours Course at DuPont Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware, was designed by Alfred H. Tull and Lester George. The club sits in the Brandywine Valley region of northern Delaware, an area known for its rolling terrain and historic estates associated with the DuPont family's long presence in the state. The course takes its name from the nearby Nemours Estate, one of several grand properties that define the cultural landscape of this part of Wilmington. The routing makes use of the natural topography characteristic of the Piedmont region, with elevation changes and mature tree-lined fairways that provide definition and strategic interest. The design reflects mid-twentieth-century American parkland principles, emphasizing playability while rewarding accurate shot-making. Water features and bunker placements create tactical decisions on approach shots, and the greens vary in size and contour to test different aspects of the short game. DuPont Country Club has served as a private club for members with ties to the DuPont Company and the broader Wilmington business community. The club maintains traditional country club amenities and a membership culture rooted in the corporate and social history of the region. The Nemours Course provides the primary championship layout for club competitions and member play, offering a well-maintained parkland experience in a setting shaped by both natural landscape and the area's distinctive industrial heritage.

Getting there

The journey to DuPont Country Club begins most conveniently at Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), situated roughly forty minutes north across the Pennsylvania-Delaware border, or alternatively at nearby Wilmington Airport (ILM) for those seeking a more direct approach. The drive south from Philadelphia traces a gentle descent through the rolling suburbs of the Delaware Valley before opening onto the manicured landscapes of the Brandywine region, where the club's Nemours estate emerges amid centuries-old grounds that speak to the quiet permanence of American industrial wealth. For those arriving by private aviation, Wilmington Airport accommodates executive traffic with characteristic discretion, positioning guests mere minutes from the club's entrance. The final miles unfold along tree-lined drives that signal entry into one of the Mid-Atlantic's most storied private preserves, where the architecture and grounds reflect the refined sensibilities of a club steeped in Delaware's gilded heritage.
