Back Creek Golf Club

About Back Creek Golf Club

This public track in Middletown offers solid value golf in Delaware's growing corridor between Wilmington and Dover, though it won't win any beauty contests. The layout takes advantage of the area's rolling farmland terrain, with enough elevation changes and natural features to keep things interesting without being overly penal. Walking is permitted, which is increasingly rare at daily-fee courses, and the pace of play tends to be reasonable given its location away from the more congested resort areas. The course sits in that sweet spot for mid-handicappers looking for an honest test without the premium pricing of Delaware's resort tracks. At 3.8 stars from over 100 reviews, it's clearly not destination golf, but local players seem to appreciate having a walkable option that doesn't break the bank. The conditions are generally playable if not pristine, and you'll find it a refreshing change from some of the more manufactured layouts that dominate the region.
