GOLF AT DELAWARE NATIONAL COUNTRY CLUB
Delaware National Country Club Holes No. 2 and No. 3
This is a mature course with beautiful, hilly terrain. It is fun
to play because every hole is unique and offers choices as to strategy
of play. It will challenge even the best players, yet is not harshly
penal - safe routes are available at every hole. A winding layout
means you will not see more than one other hole than the one your
are playing. Although you will definitely be tired after 18 holes,
walking is the best way to experience the course (and avoid losing
balls over blind terrain).
The course is not long, however this is mostly due to short par
4s - only two of the 10 par 4s are over 400 yards. Of the 4 par
5s, only one is realistically reachable in 2. The par 5 7th at 600
yards plus a double dogleg, hills and water is an adventure to reach
in 3. There are no easy par 3s - all are uphill. Doglegs and hills
make the listed yardages deceiving.
Thinking your way around the course will pay off. The better player
can take the majority of hazards out of play with some course knowledge.
For all but one or two holes, the "power fade" works well off the
tee.
