Deerfield Golf Club

Newark, DE · 0.5 mi away

Deerfield Golf Club in Newark, Delaware, opened in 1955. William Gordon designed the course, originally Louviers Country Club, with his son David Gordon joining his firm in 1953. Gordon, a charter member of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, created courses with internal green contours and strategic play. Deerfield features an 18-hole layout with mature tree-lined fairways and well-protected greens. The first hole is a par 5, often playing into the wind, requiring a second shot over water to an elevated green. Deerfield has hosted an exhibition match with golf legends and remains a championship course in the region.
