DuPont Country Club

DuPont Country Club is located a few miles north of downtown Wilmington and offers 54 holes of golf in addition to many other amenities for members.

Delaware's Most Famous Golf Courses

The club opened in 1920 but golf at DuPont Country Club began with a 9-hole course that opened in 1922. That layout didn't last long, as the club hired Donald Ross to design an 18-hole replacement in 1924. Over the years the club expanded and replaced courses until arriving at the current 54 holes. The "Championship Course" was the site of the LPGA Championship for many years. The other full-length course is called the "Nemours Course", while the "Montchanin Course" is a par 61 executive length layout.

Originally limiting membership to DuPont company employees, DuPont Country Club opened to non-employees in the late 1990's. Besides the golf courses and a large golf practice facility, current amenities include a fitness center, swimming pool, tennis and pickleball.
