Delaware is filled
with great shopping destinations, charming small towns, and great golf! Pack
your clubs and get ready for a memorable outing on the green at some of
Delaware's world-class golf courses. An excellent spot for those learning to
golf or golfers wanting to get in a quick round is The
Heritage Inn and Golf Club, a nine-hole regulation golf
course and an 80-room hotel on Route 1 in Rehoboth Beach. The terrain is open
and flat and features and island green.
Another excellent
spot for novice golfers is Marsh Island Golf Club,
a 4,500-yard course in Angola, about 5 miles northwest of Rehoboth Beach. Its
18 holes provide a wide degree of variation and challenge as the course rolls
past ponds, wooded wetlands, and more than 47 bunkers.
The golfing boom in
Delaware began in 1997 with the opening of the links-style
Back Creek Golf Club in Middletown, the first
all-new upscale championship course to be built in Delaware in more than 25
years. The links-style course, about 25 minutes south of Wilmington, features
rolling rye grass fairways, bent grass greens, and 83 fairway bunkers in a
variety of shapes. Back Creek was recently rated by Golf Week magazine as one
of the top 100 modern golf courses in the U.S. for the second year in a row.
Its sister course,
Frog Hollow Golf Club, features a championship
18-hole course, 10 minutes south of Back Creek, combines a links and parkland
style. Its characteristics include bent grass tees, bunkers, and rolling
fairways complimented by Kentucky Blue Grass roughs.
Bear
Trap Dunes, owned and operated by Freeman Golf, is
another feather in the cap of Delaware’s golfing industry. Bear Trap is located
off of Route 26 in Ocean View, just three miles west of Bethany Beach. The
semi-private course was dubbed one of the top 100
women-friendly courses in the U.S. by Golf For Women. In just the first six
months it was open, 17,000 rounds of golf were played. The course, designed by
former Jack Nicklaus associate Rick Jacobson, adheres to the natural area’s
coastal terrain, featuring winding bentgrass fairways, as well as natural dunes
featuring traps and bunkers.
Another new
development on the Delaware golfing scene is The Rookery, located on Route 1 just north of Lewes. Pete Oakley, 1999
Senior PGA Club Professional of the year, is director of golf for the course. The Rookery
is adjacent to wetlands and incorporates elements of links style with elevated
crowned greens. It features 14 acres of ponds, including an island green. Special
rates are offered for Delaware residents.
