Semi-private18 holes
Deerfield Golf Club
Newark, DE
Deerfield Golf Club in Newark, Delaware, originally known as Louviers Country Club, was designed by the prolific William Gordon, with his son David Gordon joining the firm in 1953. William Gordon, a charter member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, was known for creating courses with considerable internal contours on the greens, emphasizing strategic play. Deerfield, opened in 1955, embodies this classic design philosophy, offering a traditional 18-hole layout that challenges golfers of all skill levels. The course is characterized by its mature tree-lined fairways and well-protected greens. A notable feature is the first hole, a par 5 that often plays into the prevailing wind, requiring a well-placed second shot over water to a slightly elevated green. Deerfield has a rich history, having hosted an exhibition match featuring golf legends, and continues to be a respected championship course in the region, making it a classic and enjoyable round for those seeking a traditional golf experience.
