Prepare to be astounded!

This extraordinary 145-acre natural treasure is a one-of-a-kind resource for residents and businesses in Delaware – as well as in neighboring states who find this treasure well worth the short drive.  An outstanding public 18-hole championship golf course, lighted tennis and paddleball courts, exceptional public dining and Delaware’s premier wedding, meeting, golf outing and special event venue – surrounded by the scenic ancient forest of White Clay Creek State Park – simply spectacular!

Heritage

Originally built by the DuPont Corporation for its employees in 1955, the club was called Louviers Country Club. In 1994 MBNA purchased the club from DuPont and built the new clubhouse ballroom and recreational building, renaming it Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club. In 2005 the state of Delaware acquired the 145-acre property to protect the land from development. The club is part of Delaware’s White Clay Creek State Park supervised by the Delaware Division of Parks and Recreation.

In February 2006 the Division of Parks and Recreation retained Forewinds Hospitality to manage the property. Forewinds is in the midst of a myriad of capital improvements to enhance the unequaled grand elegance of this natural treasure. Deerfield Golf & Tennis Club opened to the public for the first time in 51 years on April 14, 2006.
